The New SM1610-4
The SM1610-4 incorporates a variety of new features. The SM1610-4 is compliant with the revised standards NMEA0183 v4.0 and ITU-R M.1371-4. Shine Micro has developed new advanced VDL analysis tools. A few of these new features include: output of the number of active slots per frame, garbled packet information, frequency and deviation of the received packet. In addition, the receiver can be configured to output failed messages, including CRC failures, for further troubleshooting and analysis. An upgraded processor and larger memory make these new features possible.
