We are using EIVA NaviPac and have been requested bya client to output to their logging system the data we are inputting and logging from an ROV.
They are requesting from the ROV the following data and what the formats can be
1. Can we take the data data as: serial (RS232, 9800, N, 8,1 or alternatively TCIP/ UDP over a LAN ?
>> if RS232, how many cables, one , two or three? what data is on each cable?
>>
2) Can we have sample data sentences so we can see exactly the headers used, required are:
Date >> and time format, comma or space separation, E or S in the lat long, number of decimal points, and what End of Line character is used.
>>
The ROV Position sentence should contain the following information
>>
>> $xxxx (header) , date of fix, time of fix (UTC), latitude, longitude, ROV depth, ROV altitude, ROV heading, ROV Pitch, ROV roll,<CR>
>>
>> for example on the last project we received one sentence with everything in it as
>>
>> $PISE,yyyymmdd,hhmmss.ss,dd.dddddd,N,ddd.dddddd,E,mmmm.mm,mm.m,ddd.d,
>> dd.d,dd.d<CR>
>> ie
>> header, date, time (UTC), Latitude, North, Longitude, E, ROV Depth,
>> ROV Altitude, ROV heading, ROV Pitch, ROV Roll<CR>
>>
>> or we can accept multiple sentences as something like
>>
>> $GPZDA with date and time
>> $GPGGA with ROV position
>> $ xxx with ROV depth, heading pitch, roll, altitude
>>
I have not used the system for some time, but am sure that NaviPac can output CSV strings to other systems for logging, can you confirm that we can do this and if so, over LAN or as standard RS232
Can you also confirm we can send this all as one string and can you direct me to or provide the relevant page / instructions to set this up?

The way way to obtain this is via the User Defined Output.
The output can be generated totally free and generate comma seperated string(s) consisting of raw str4ings, interpreted data and combined data as you wish.
The output's can be delivered on serial ports or UDP/IP network
See http://download.eiva.dk/online-training/NaviPac%20Manuals/Appendix/A1_User%20defined%20Outputs.pdf for details.
