Real Time Data - Valeport TideMaster Operating Manual

9.4.5 Real Time Data

Real Time data can be broadcast in several different formats.
9.4.5.1 NMEA
A NMEA style output is the standard data format and provides the most detailed information from the
instrument. The TideMaster will always output the $PVTM0 string and will additionally output a $PVTM1 or
$PVTM2 string if an additional sensor is enabled.
$PVTM0 = Tide data, same for Pressure or Radar measurment
$PVTM0,ID,ddmmyyyy,hhmmss,tt.ttt,h.hhh,D,vv.v,SSSS*hhCL (52 chars)
// ID
// Date
// Time
// Tide Height
// Tide height stdev
// Tide height units
// Battery voltage
// Status
// *hh checksum of the above
// CL <cr><lf> end of string
$PVTM1 = Meteorological Data, same format for Windsonic or MetPak II
$PVTM1,ID,ddmmyyyy,hhmmss,sss.ss,kk.kk,mmm.mm,S,ddd.d,nn.nn,aaaa.a,A,ttt.t,T,ppp.p,hhh.h*hhCL (85
