Title: NMEA data logger does not support BSVDM
Post by: pkd on September 27, 2009, 12:42:37 PM
Hi, we are a small company, who want to buy your enterprise version of NMEA logger. However we found out, on the standard version, BSVDM format is not supported, only AIVDM.

Would it be possible for you to fix this ? When we try to feed the logger from a TCP connection, we receive a Bad CRC ....
However according to this page http://www.ssca.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=7835&start=30, it should be the same format. Only, I guess , the CRC  is different ?

Could you also tell us if its possible to filter on ships and then redirect the decoded string to another host or maybe SQL db ? Which plugins are needed ?

Thank you in advance

Pkd

Simply, this talker isn't in our list. What does this abbreviation "BS" mean? We'll add it to our parser shortly. Could you describe what do you want to filter? I suppose, that our software can do it, but I'm not sure.

Thanks a lot !
I dont know what BS means but it is the format provided by the national marine administration when purchased online (via proxy).
I can send you some samples if you like .

When do you think the new version will be ready ?

The filter is not critical, but we may want to filter on MMSI (IMO number)

Could you confirm that the output from your logger is the decoded data ?
Do I need a plugin to redirect ?

Thanks again !

Unfortunately, our software doesn't parse VDM sentences at all. Could you post the description of this NMEA sentence?

I'm sorry, it is too complex and we can't add support for AIS sentences shortly.

The NMEA data logger can parser VDM and other AIS sentences now. You can check it online too:
