Whether or not a sentence is recorded in the VDR/S-VDR is determined by the sentence ID. Any sentence of which ID is different from the specified is discarded and is not recorded in the VDR/S-VDR.

1) Recording item

Select record item from the pull-down menu. Select “Other”, when the item was not found in the menu.

2) Sentence ID

Select a sentence ID from the pull-down menu. Enter the sentence ID, if the sentence was not found in the menu.

Type in maximum 7 characters, including the talker ID

In case of NMEA sentence: The talker ID (2 characters) can be entered along with the sentence ID (3 characters). An uncertain character also can be entered using “?”. Enter as many characters as you like (up to 7 characters). At least, include the sentence ID (3 characters). Examples: setting sentence ID for filtering ZDA sentences of GPS. ( all OK )

▫ GPZDA ▫ GPZDA?? ▫ ??ZDA ▫ ??ZDA??

In case of option unit sentence: A/D : VRXDR DSC (NCT-72/63): ? (Since all sentences are recorded, "?" is used as a wildcard.)

3) Watch The watch on maximum interval of receiving can be set on each sentence. Set the Watch function of each NMEA sentence to enable or disable. The VDR/S-VDR will generate an error when the NMEA sentences set as “Enable” are not received within the set interval time. The VDR/S-VDR will not generate the error alarm when the NMEA sentences set as “Disable” are not received within the interval time.

Enable: [ ] (checked) Disable: [ ] (unchecked)

When the NMEA sentence ID is registered, checks will be entered as a default.

In case of setting to disable

On the equipment that does not transmit NMEA sentences periodically, the setting shall be “Disable”. “Enable” does make sense on the equipment that transmits sentence(s) periodically.
