F180R MOTION Sensor User and Reference Guide

Once you have defined the serial output settings, after power–on and initialisation, receiving

equipment connected to the serial ports will continue to receive the TSS1 or EM3000 data

packets and/or NMEA sentences even with the Ethernet port disconnected. The heave data is

processed onboard the F180R System for a 16 second period.

NOTE: If you have specified a Remote Lever Arm then the position, velocity, heading

and attitude data are for the remote lever arm location.

NOTE: If you have entered a IMU Alignment/Orientation but you have not set a

Remote Lever Arm, the position, velocity, attitude data are relative the IMU and the

heading data are for the vessel.

NOTE: If you have not set either a Remote Lever Arm or a IMU Alignment/Orientation,

then the position, velocity, attitude and heading data are for the IMU.

3.1.2.1 MCOM

Binary data output string that include position, attitude, heading, velocity, track and speed,

acceleration, status and performance and raw data.

The MCOM format is a proprietary format defined by CodaOctopus. The format description is

available to third parties who wish to implement libraries for decoding the MCOM data

stream. Contact CodaOctopus Support for further information.

3.1.2.2 NMEA

3.1.2.2.1 GGA

The NMEA - GGA string contains time, position and fix related data for a GPS receiver.
