Data Sharing Tab
This Tab is used to determine how data (NMEA, Ockam® or B&G®) is shared
between computers connected to a network using an Ethernet (TCP/IP), such
as by the GlassBridge Network (see Chapter 19).
•
The two types of data that can be shared are Processed and Raw Data.
•
Raw Data comes into the computer from any NMEA device. GPS position is
an example of Raw NMEA Data.
Processed Data is produced by the Admiral program. In a situation where
you have more than one GPS connected to one of the computers on the
network, typically port priorities are used to "prefer" one GPS over another.
This official type of information about the vessel is referred to as Processed
NMEA Data or the Nobeltec Packet. By default, Admiral will share Processed
Data on the GlassBridge Network. By setting up Admiral in this way, you do
not have to set a priority on each of the other computers on the network.
