Raymarine 150/400 Course computer Nmea 1 and 2 inputs, Nmea 0183 received Information extracted

Step 9: Integrate the System		37
	Course computer NMEA 1 and 2 inputs
	NMEA 0183 received	Information extracted
	RMB	cross track error, bearing to waypoint, distance to
		waypoint, waypoint number
	RMC	course over ground (COG), speed over ground
		(SOG), latitude/longitude, time, variation
	VHW	speed through water, heading
	VTG	course over ground (COG), speed over ground
		(SOG)
	VWR	relative apparent wind angle, relative apparent
		wind speed
	XTE	cross track error
	ZDA	time, date

Note: When connected to a NMEA navigator, the course computer looks at NMEA 1 first. If NMEA 1 has no data, the course computer looks at NMEA 2. If both channels have the same type of navigation data, the course computer uses NMEA 1.

Course computer NMEA 1 output*

NMEA 0183 transmitted Information sent

HDM heading

*Note: Type 150G and Type 400G course computers provide fast heading (HDM) output from NMEA 1 at 10 Hz 0.1° resolution. This fast heading data is suitable for use with the MARPA function on radar equipment.

Course computer NMEA 2 output

NMEA 0183 transmitted Information sent (* if available)

BWC	bearing to waypoint*, distance to waypoint*,
	waypoint number*, time*
GLL	latitude/longitude*, time*
HDG
HDM	heading
HDT
VTG	course over ground* (COG), speed over ground*
	(SOG)

*Note: The course computer will only transmit these items if it has received the appropriate data.
