6.3 Playback Setup Application

Look into the interface list (see 8. REFERENCES) provided by the JRC, and make sure that which data are recorded in which type of signal format. Then follow the procedures depicted below to setup the PLAYBACK application.

1) You are going to register sentence headers for the date & time of recording; ship’s position, speed, and heading; wind speed and direction; and UKC, respectively.

2) Firstly, pick up the sentence header for each of the NMEA data signals from the list of input signals of the data acquisition units. Enter them in the System Setup Dialog Box.

3) If figures do not appear in any of the Data Display windows, check if any sentences appear in the Receive Window.

4) If figures do not appear in any of the Data Display windows but sentences appear in the Receive Window, check if the relevant Talker ID in the sentences in the Receive Window is identical to that already entered in the System Setup Dialog Box. If they do not match completely, no figures appear in the relevant Data Display window. Correct the mismatched Talker ID in the System Setup Dialog Box. They must be identical.

An NMEA data sentence looks like below (in case of a ZDA sentence):

$GPZDA, 032245, 12, 12, 2002, 094A*45<cr><lf>

where the Talker ID is GP, which means the output device is GPS. The sentence header is ZDA, indicating that the output is the date & time in the order: hour, seconds, day, month, year.

14


5) Only when the system is equipped with a digital signal distributor, pick up the signal names from the list of signals that are input into the digital signal distributor.

6) Enter the names of categories and signals of Dry Contact Signals.

Clicking the PLAYBACK SETUP button in the PLAY BACK menu opens the System Setup Dialog Box, which looks like below. The procedures for setup are explained in detail in the following paragraphs. Having followed all the procedures, click the SET button. All the settings become effective. To quit the application, click the CLOSE button.

When the button is released, playback restarts. This function also works in case of backward playback. Forwarding or rewinding becomes faster only when the relevant button is held down. This means that you have to hold the button down until the playback time displayed reaches what you like it to be. It takes 5 to 6 seconds after the button is first held down until the forwarding or reversing of the data recording becomes faster. The Forward button or the Rewind button functions even when the Stop button is held down. During the Forward button or the Rewind button is held, the playback time display is updated accordingly--no matter whether playback is on or off.

7.5.2 Aligning Windows You can move any window that is visible by dragging it to where you want it to be. When you exit the application, the locational information of the six specific windows are stored, and, when you reboot it, it is retrieved from where it is stored, so that these windows are shown exactly where they were last time. The six windows include ‘RADAR’, ‘UTC’, ‘Ship Position’, Ship Speed’, ‘Wind Speed’, and ‘UKC.’ These windows should always be visible whenever the application is rebooted. After having moved them, to bring them back to exactly where they were at reboot, select Arrange Form from the Window menu. All the six windows are brought back to their original locations.
