NMEA output
nmeaout.d
When present this le controls the NMEA output from the WTP3. A typical use for this le is to output wind
and other instrument data onto another NMEA enabled device such as a chartplotter. It is possible to dene
multiple NMEA out ports in the system. For each NMEA out port you can dene multiple NMEA sentences to be
transmitted and their frequency.
The possible NMEA out sentences are:
GLL Geographic position
VTG Course and speed over ground
VHW Boatspeed and heading
MWD True wind direction and speed
VWR Apparent wind speed angle
VWT True wind speed and angle
MTW Sea temperature
XDR Transducer measurements
HDG Heading
MWV_T True wind speed and angle
MWV_A Apparent wind speed and angle

Note: Multiple outputs can be listed in one le. The proceeding number following the NMEA sentence denotes the
frequency at which the WTP will transmit that NMEA sentence. Sentences can be transmitted at 10, 5, 2 or 1 Hz.
