6.2 Procedure
1) Starting up
Select [DAU] in the SETUP menu, and then select either DAU1 or DAU2.
2) Procedure
Basically the same as what is instructed in “5.2 Procedures” of “5. Setup of RCU”.
Refer to “5.2 Procedure”.
6.3 Common Buttons
Basically the same as what is instructed in para.“5.3 Common Buttons” of “5. Setup of RCU”. Refer to para.“5.3
Common Buttons”.
There are some special conditions for DAU as follow.

Unlike other settings, once the setting of “Serial” of DAU is updated, it becomes effective when the [SET] button is clicked.
The updating of the other settings, however, becomes effective only after the [Reboot] button is clicked.
This is because of understanding that once the setting of the filter of NMEA sentence is updated, it should be made effective as soon
as possible.

( ■ ) mark used as a default of an input when logged in with the password for installation.
( ■ ) 6.5.1
6.5.1 Time correction by GPS

Set the parameters to correct the time with ZDA data sentences from GPS.
1) Correction interval ( ■ )
The interval of time at which the time of the VDR is corrected automatically can be set. By default, it is set as
12 hours, and it is unnecessary to change this setting.
The timing of time correction:

• At the time of starting the VDR: When the DAU to which the GPS is connected starts.
• At every 12 hours: The time is corrected at 0:00 and 12:00 everyday. To be exact, it is done 30 seconds later.
2) Adjusting ( ■ )
The correct time value can be set to adjust in milliseconds. By default, it is set as 0ms, and there is no need to
change it.
The correct time value is intended for use in the cancellation of the time lag that may be caused by the delay of time
correction. However, the time lag is negligible and therefore there is no need to change this setting.
3) Host unit ( ■ )
Set the DAU connected to the GPS. Select DAU1 or DAU2 from the pull-down menu.
→ By default, it is DAU1 and there is no need to change this.
4) Input port ( ■ )
Set the CH number for the serial port connected to GPS.
How time correction is done:

DAU specified as “Host unit” receives ZDA data sentences through the specified channel, and transmit to other
equipment the time correction information via LAN.
Confirmation of the time correction

At the startup of DAU that is connected to GPS, RCU and DAU correct time automatically. The event of time correction
can be monitored through the real-time event monitoring system.

6.6.3.3 Sentence format

Set the sentence format.
y Header character
y Delimiter code
y Maximum sentence length
y Maximum time interval of receiving
Once the type is selected, this parameter is automatically set by default. There is no need to change this value.
Only a maximum time interval of receiving needs to be changed by connection equipment.
1) Header
Enter the header character.
“$” is entered in case of connecting to the general sensor units.
In case of connecting to the AIS, enter “!” as the header character. (DAU software: Ver. 2.0.0 or later)
When “!” is entered, the DAU receives the NMEA sentences with “$” and “!” as header.
2) Delimiter
Enter the delimiter in the form of codes. The delimiter is expressed as codes not as characters. “<CR><LF>“ can be
codified as “OD OA”.
3) Maximum sentence length

Set the maximum length of the data sentence. Any data sentence of which length exceeds this maximum sentence length
is rejected and an error is reported. The maximum length of the NMEA sentence is 82Byte.
4) Maximum time interval of receiving

Set the maximum time interval of receiving. If the time taken to receive a data sentence exceeds this maximum time
interval, the sentence is rejected and an error is reported.
For example, suppose ZDA, DTM, and GGA are set to be received. If the time taken to receive all ZDA, DTM and GGA
exceeds the maximum time interval, all the information is rejected and an error is reported.
6.6.4 Recording data

Whether a sentence is recorded in the VDR is determined by the sentence ID. Any sentence of which ID is
different from the specified sentence ID is discarded and is not recorded in the VDR.
1) Sentence ID
Set the sentence ID for filtering the sentence to be recorded.
y Type in 7 characters maximum, starting from the next to the header characters.
y Enter all the sentence IDs of the sentences to be recorded. A maximum of 12 IDs can be registered.
In case of NMEA sentence:
y The talker ID (2 characters) can be entered along with the sentence ID (3 characters).
y An uncertain character also can be entered using “?”.
y Enter as many characters as you like (up to 7 characters).
y At least, include the sentence ID (3 characters).
y Examples: setting sentence ID for filtering ZDA sentences of GPS. ( all OK )

The VDR will generate the error alarm when the NMEA sentences set as “Enable” are not received within
interval time. The VDR will not generate the error alarm when the NMEA sentences set as “Disable” are
not received within interval time.
When the NMEA sentence ID is registered, checks will be entered by a default.
y In case of set to disable

Setting as “Disable” is effective when a sensor unit do not transmit some NMEA sentences periodically.
Set as “Enable” to only the NMEA sentence received periodically.
This function is added with software update (Ver. 2.0.0) of the DAU.
The Maintenance software does not display this function in case of maintaining to the DAU installed old software.
When no NMEA sentences are received periodically.
When all NMEA sentences are set as “Disable”, the VDR will operate as follows:
• The VDR generates the error alarm of no NMEA sentences at the DAU start up. ( NG lamp lights up)
•The VDR clears the error alarm at receiving a NMEA sentences. (OK lamp lights up, NG lamp puts out the light)
• The VDR does not generate the error alarm again even if no NMEA sentences receve. (OK lamp continues lighting up)
This setting as “Disable” is recommended if a user can output a NMEA sentence easily.
Explain how to clear an error by outputting a NMEA sentence
Difference from the OFF of DIP-SW

When the DIP-SW is OFF, the VDR forvids to generate error alarm therefore the VDR will operate as follows:
• The VDR does not generate the error alarm of no NMEA sentences at the DAU start up. ( OK and NG lamp continue off)
•The VDR turn on an OK lamp at receiving a NMEA sentences. (OK lamp lights up)
• The VDR turn off an OK lamp at passed watching period without NMEA sentences. (OK lamp puts out the light)
