The Monitoring workstation acquires Position, Gyro/Log and Arpa Targets data via serial lines
and a second DGPS delivers Position information to the Planning station. All serial sensor

The second DGPS is optional and the same DGPS can be used on both stations. However it is
recommended to use two different DGPS for redundancy and safer installation.
