I am trying to connect WD to an Airmar 110WX weather station linked via NMEA and an Actisense NGT-1 usb connector.
While the PC is receiving data (verified by an Actisense Reader, I cannot find the settings which will enable WD to receive and present the data.
Anyone have any ideas?
Communications: Available Interface: Serial RS-232, Serial RS-422, CAN Available Protocol: Comma delimited ASCII, NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000 Serial Output Rate: 1 Hz typical. User selectable. 10 Hz maximum recommended
What station type did you select in WD? Does the Actisense reader store the incoming data in a file you can access?
We have selected the Airmar NMEA Station.
We are receiving gibberish data, when we connect to the comm port at 9600b, although the Actisense reader utility indicates it receives data at 115200b.
Unfortuntaly, the actisense utility doesn’t produce a log file that we can use–we need a parser to convert NMEA to ASCII.
Can you duplicate the comm settings used by the reader? If the reader is receiving good data then perhaps the WD protocol needs to be verified by Brian. Best bet would be to grab a sample of the output and send to Brian so he can verify that WD is still correctly communicating with the Airmar.
