Advanced NMEA Data Logger inputs NMEA data stream from GPS, navigation or any other NMEA compatible device directly into file, Excel, Access, any database or another Windows application. Advanced NMEA Data Logger provides real-time data collection from any device or instrument. This program is an efficient tool for your data logging needs..

The National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) has developed a specification that defines the interface between various pieces of marine electronic equipment. An NMEA standard defines an electrical interface and data protocol for communications between marine instrumentation.

No matter the case, Advanced NMEA Data Logger will meet all of your technical needs. This software allows you to collect GPS or NMEA strings from any NMEA compatible instrument in real time, transmit and receive NMEA data over RS232 or Ethernet. Mold your dataflow the way you want with a built-in parser and send it to any application, DOS- or Windows-based.

If you have a few NMEA instruments working at the same time, dont worry, Advanced NMEA Data Logger can handle many ports at same time and record the data to a HDD or any specified target.

Advanced NMEA Data Logger is based on an engine of our favorite product Advanced Serial Data Logger and therefore inherits all base features of this program and can work with all plugins for Advanced Serial Data Logger, but apart from Advanced Serial Data Logger that works with serial ports (RS232 or RS485) only Advanced NMEA Data Logger works with RS232, TCP/IP or UDP ports and sockets.

Advanced NMEA Data Logger Features:
1. ability to log multiple ports at the same time. Each port may have fully different settings.
2. supports all talker types (GPS, Heading, Velocity sensors etc).
3. captures all standard NMEA sentences and some proprietary sentences for Garmin, SiRFand StarLink devices.
4. supports custom baudrates.
5. supports date/time stamping;
6. supports aggregation of multiple sentences to one data record.
7. outputs received data without any changes to a log file.
8. advanced data parsers that allows you to parse, filter and format your source data.
9. data export to ready-to-use MS Excel files.
10. data export to any ODBC-compatible database (MS SQL, Oracle, MS Access, dBase and others).
11. Advanced NMEA Data Logger can run as DDE or OPC server and can export all received data.
12. Advanced NMEA Data Logger can use direct connection (use OLE) to Microsoft Excel and write data directly to rows or columns.
13. software messages logging.
14. simple, menu-driven step by step set-up - programming is not required to configure the program to collect data.
15. many plugin modules that extending software features.
16. works on all Windows versions 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista, including x86 and x64 platforms.

Advanced NMEA Data Logger also transmits requests or commands over a network connection or serial port to control or query your instruments directly from Advanced NMEA Data Logger over ASCII protocol.

Unlike most other serial logging applications, Advanced NMEA Data Logger can run as a service so that it starts as soon as the operating system starts and doesn't require a user to log in and run it. It will continue to run even as users logon and logoff the workstation.

It is extremely easy-to-use! The configuration process is fully menu driven and has complete, context sensitive, on-line help. you can easily customize all input to your exact specifications. Once you see how easy it is to use Advanced NMEA Data Logger, you will never again take data readings by hand.

Typical usage:
A typical software for Advanced NMEA Data Logger is to log and aggregate data from one or more NMEA devices to disk or a utility replacement for a hardware data logger.

Limitations:
* 100 data packets
