1. NOTE WPL RTE outputs are not yet implemented NASA AIS Engine Allows some configuration options Channel and Threshold These can be configured within SOB and sent to the NASA Receiver the next time the AIS COM port is closed then opened The newer versions of this popular AIS Receiver manufactured after June 2005 have included a Channel Swap ability for monitoring both AIS channels A and B This option can now be selected from SOB Satellite Displays A new page is added to the NMEA form showing availability of satellites for GPS reception Serial In Out buffers The size of the buffers used for receiving and transmitting NMEA data have been increased This should reduce problems for systems connected to many high volume data providers eg multiplexers There is also a provision for user configuring of the Receive Buffer sizes contact support digiboat com au for more details Other changes fixes SOB _NMEA_DATA log file can t be opened for replay This is SOB s default file for writing NMEA data to SOB will ignore any attempt to open this file for replay Added Device Manager button on NMEA form for easily opening this useful Windows diagnostic tool Hardware Flow Control Some connected serial devices eg ACTISENSE OPTO Isolator MiniPlex multiplexer require hardware flow control to be enabled for the serial port SOB s default setting is NO Flow Control requiring only a two wire serial conn2. If COG received data is invalid SOB will show target with a heading of 360 True due North A correct Northerly heading is shown as O True If LAT LNG data received is invalid target will be set to 0 0 The Gulf of Guinea OwnShip as a Target Many commercial cargo ships with AIS Transponders will receive their own transmissions as an acquired target SOB will now interpret this OwnShip target correctly and will use the received AIS for OwnShip data This means that if the AIS Transponder is wired into the PC running SOB then separate connections for GPS and Gyro Fluxgate are NOT required SOB will use the AIS Dynamic data for these devices NOTE The OwnShip MMSI must be correctly entered on the Ship s Form gt gt AIS Static Data page for this feature to work AIS Target Logging There is an optional check box on the Acquired Targets Form T which will enable AIS data logging A plain tab delimited text file IAIS_DATA txt is appended in the SOBvVMAX LogFiles folder ready for importing opening directly in Excel or similar This file contains data such as Target Name MMSI lat Ing and UTC when first acquired lat Ing and UTC when target lost etc Clear All Tare l Log AIS Data IAIS_DATA txt ee Lota The target info is written to this file when the target is deleted by the user or when it is auto purged or when SOB exits This file is not available while SOB is running ie file copy rename de
3. DigiBOAT Software On Board Release Notes 7 a l Page 10 R6 R6 Inserted turnmark names are created more logically There should now rarely be adjacent inserted marks with the same label IE previously it was possible to have say TP 1 INS 1 INS 2 INS 1 INS 2 TP 2 as turnmark names These would now become TP 1 INS 1 INS 11 INS 12 INS 2 TP 2 etc of course the name used is determined by which order the marks are inserted and deleted so are likely to be different from the example The text Labels for the TurnMark are drawn more intelligently and try to avoid being drawn on top of the leg line When the Route Tool is selected clicking an existing Waypoint will pop up a message box asking to Add Wpt to Route To avoid showing this message box hold down Ctrl or Shift key when clicking the Waypoint Route Edit MenuBar The name of the TurnMark now appears on the titlebar of this button menu When pressing a turnmark twice near the lower part of the display the MenuBar was popping up off the bottom of the screen out of sight and apparently freezing the display The MenuBar will now always appear on the visible part of the screen VIEW PANELS The Ship s Data panel now includes a compact mode to help save screen space All ViewPanels will remember their positions when SOB is closed these positions will be restored when SOB next starts up Their positions will be correctly restored also on multi m

5. the RouteData form will create a TXT file opened in Windows NotePad with a listing of Route legs in a very similar format to the listbox on the form This route text file can be used to print out the route details or for importing into Excel or can be used to convert the route into a SOB waypoints file To convert to waypoints save the NotePad file into the SOBVMAX Waypoints folder ensuring it has a txt file extension then use the AllWaypoints form and click on this filename to be automatically converted to a SOB wpt file format NOTE for successful WPT conversions ensure that the hash character is the first character on any line not used for waypoint importing these lines are ignored The original route text file that SOB creates clearly demonstrates which lines should not have the hash character Although the start waypoint will be overlooked with the text file format if you would like to include this start mark in the waypoint list then copy its details from the header to the list Route Editing Inserted turnmarks with the outside marks placed on different sides of the 180 longitude are now correctly located Also more GreatCircle leg combinations crossing the 180 longitude work correctly although there are still some combinations that give erratic results Often these can be created successfully by first reversing the route then converting the leg to a GC then reversing the route again 14 Feb 2006 _

10. e the other Output choices GPS Autopilot do not have their TCP IP output choices enabled we are yet to fully comprehend the implications of controlling an autopilot onboard from a remote SOB SOB allows a connection to any valid IP Address available on your computer you would have multiple IP addresses available if many network connections are present and enabled eg wireless LAN cable plug Bluetooth GPRS modem For the REMOTE or CLIENT computer running SOB to connect to you they must know your computers IP Address If you are a single computer with broadband internet connection your ISP assigns a unique IP address to your computer If your computer is on a local network perhaps connected to a LAN or WAN hub or other computer with Internet connection then it will probably have a local IP address often similar to 10 1 1 xx or 192 168 0 xx With only a local IP address any other SOB computers on your subnet can connect directly to you You would need to establish a VPN to allow remote SOB computers from over the Internet to connect to your local session of SOB 14 Feb 2006 DigiBOAT Software On Board Release Notes Page 5 Please note that connecting remote SOBs over the Internet to a SOB Server not directly Internet addressed is beyond the mandate of our DigiBOAT Support Staff Your network administrator or local TCP IP Consultant would need to assist you with any tricky network connections All that said it is actua
11. e of the destination TurnMark for it to be considered as passed Craft under motor are obviously much better at following a precise course under autopilot control And are thus better able to hit a small arrival circle at the destination However a motoring ship can still deviate from the course and trigger an aft a beam situation eg an increasing strong cross current turning around to reel in a fish deviating to check an echo while side scanning a course investigating an object seen floating a way off your track etc For an Active Route a dampening value has been incorporated on the Planned arrival speed and Planned TTG to stabilise this value The dampening will average the previous 10 values of the required speed for planned ETA This value can be changed if necessary This is an advanced user setting please contact support digiboat com au for details ArrivalZone timing The amount of time inside the arrival zone before the autopilot changes to the new course has been doubled It is now about 15 20 seconds from the time that the arrival zone is breached before the autopilot receives a command to change to the new course This should be considered when setting the size of the Arrival Circle An interim message is sent to the Messages panel warning Prepare for course change before the final message is posted Turning now Route Exporting and converting Routes to Waypoints A new To Text List button on
