Format: $PVSP,ATON,STATS,xxxxxxxxx,x,x,x,x

xxxxxxxxx MMSI

x Channel 1 TX count

x Channel 1 last TX slot

x Channel 2 TX count

x Channel 2 last TX slot

Note: This information together with the SYNC output can be used to determine the exact

UTC time of the last transmission on each channel.

This sentence may be queried with $--ANQ,ATON,STATS for all MMSI’s or $--

ANQ,ATON,STATS,xxxxxxxxx for a single MMSI.

SYNC – UTC Synchronisation Details

Format: $PVSP,SYNC,x,x,x

x UTC Hour of frame sync

x UTC Minute of frame sync

x The slot count at the frame sync. NONE is reported if it is

AtoN Queries

A query is initiated using the formatter $XXANQ followed by the sentence to be queried.

Note XX is ignored by the Virtual AIS Beacon so can be set to the callers preference.

For example to query all the configured marks MMSI details:

$VMANQ,AID*25

For a complete summary of the AtoN details query ATON:

$VMANQ,ATON*7D

This returns the following sentences: ATON,CNT ATON,ADDR SYNC followed by the following

for each AtoN: AID ACF ACG CBR ATON,STATS
