SIM999 is a handheld portable tester for Doppler speed log,transducer and NMEA0183 (IEC61162-1). Doppler speed log tester SIM999 can measure the output of a Doppler speed log, and if required, reply with a user defined signal to simulate operation of the transducer. NMEA0183 tester SIM999 receives and displays the NMEA0183 signal.
