Summary of connected devices and systems

The following list is a summary of all devices and systems connected with DShip. During the cruises, mostly reduced and uncorrected data sets from these devices and systems are stored and available in the DShip onboard version. Shortly after the cruises, these data sets are made available in the DShip online database https://dship.awi.de/.

Computers for online display and serial output of DShip data

The installed "client" software of the DShip system provides the opportunity for online display and online output of the data via serial interface. DShip "client" computers are located in all Labs and operational rooms. DShip manuals: https://dms.awi.de/dship-usermanual/dship-user-manual_en.pdf (onshore) and http://DShip_admin.fs-polarstern.de (on board).

Online data output via NMEA-Client

The DShip online data output is also possible via NMEA-Client. Example of a generated NMEA-Data telegram:

These NMEA-Data telegrams are distributed via the computer network and have to be converted (1-port terminal server or device server) to serial (9600,8,N,1). Please contact the chief electronic technician for the converter and generation of the required NMEA-telegram (the number of converters on board is limited).
