Nmea 0183 Interface - Interphase Advantage User Manual

NMEA 0183 Interface

The Advantage will accept navigation data from a
separate Loran C, Decca, and GPS receiver in the NMEA
0183 data format. This interface has been tested and is
verified to work with the Interphase Pilot GPS. It
features a unique, fully dedicated microprocessor for the
NMEA 0183 data port which provides maximum
compatibility among Loran C, Decca and GPS receivers.
If your equipment conforms to the following NMEA
#0183 interface protocols, the Advantage is probably
compatible- BOD, GLL, IMA, WDR, BPI, BWR, BWC,
BER, BEC, GXP, GDP, GOP, GLP, GGA, RMA, RMB,
RMC. Consult your operation manuals or contact the
manufacturer for further information on interfacing.
The Advantage needs to be interfaced via the three pin
jack on the rear panel of the display unit. The pin
connections are shown at right.
Interphase offers a 5-foot long interconnection cable and
a 10-foot interconnect extension cable that will easily
interconnect the Advantage to the Interphase Pilot GPS.
When the Advantage is used with other manufacturer's
receivers you may need to change the connector on this
cable, or provide a new cable of your own.
For reference, the internal circuitry for the Advantage's
NMEA input is shown below. This technical information
may be helpful if you have difficulty with the NMEA
connections.
