6.3 Playback Setup Application

Look into the interface list (see 8. REFERENCES) provided by the JRC, and make sure that which data are recorded in which type of signal format. Then follow the procedures depicted below to setup the PLAYBACK application. 1) You are going to register sentence headers for the date & time of recording; ships position, speed, and heading; wind speed and direction; and UKC, respectively. 2) Firstly, pick up the sentence header for each of the NMEA data signals from the list of input signals of the data acquisition units. Enter them in the System Setup Dialog Box. 3) 4) If figures do not appear in any of the Data Display windows, check if any sentences appear in the Receive Window. If figures do not appear in any of the Data Display windows but sentences appear in the Receive Window, check if the relevant Talker ID in the sentences in the Receive Window is identical to that already entered in the System Setup Dialog Box. If they do not match completely, no figures appear in the relevant Data Display window. Correct the mismatched Talker ID in the System Setup Dialog Box. They must be identical. An NMEA data sentence looks like below (in case of a ZDA sentence): $GPZDA, 032245, 12, 12, 2002, 094A*45<cr><lf> where the Talker ID is GP, which means the output device is GPS. The sentence header is ZDA, indicating that the output is the date & time in the order: hour, seconds, day, month, year.

You can move any window that is visible by dragging it to where you want it to be. When you exit the application, the locational information of the six specific windows are stored, and, when you reboot it, it is retrieved from where it is stored, so that these windows are shown exactly where they were last time. The six windows include RADAR, UTC, Ship Position, Ship Speed, Wind Speed, and UKC. These windows should always be visible whenever the application is rebooted. After having moved them, to bring them back to exactly where they were at reboot, select Arrange Form from the Window menu. All the six windows are brought back to their original locations.
