L-3 ELAC Nautik
A NMEA proprietary sentence ELAC is available to allow the transfer of dual channel depth
information, including transducer mounting position.
ELA (Manufacture’s Mnemonic Code)
k: S= Starboard, P= Port, B= Bow, A= Aft, 0=not selected
m: K=DBK (Depth below Keel), S=DBS (Depth below Surface), T=DBT (Depth below
Transducer)
r: Range Scale
q: Quality of digital depth reading:
0=no depth information available
1=no depth information available, poor quality
2=depth information available, high reliability
Example:
To activate the Protocol ELAC see chapter 5.1.2 Initial System Set-up.
