Components

Data of the different sensors are gathered by the central data aquisition unit which assorts them into telegrams.

DWD weather report: This telegram contains weather data encoded as required by WMO guideline (FM-13 SHIP). It is generated once per hour and send via a DCP sender (DWD) to a Meteosat satellite. The sending antenna is installed on the portside of the main mast.
Data telegram for onboard DShip data aquisition: This telegram is constructed in accordance with the "NMEA 0183" standard.
Data telegram onboard weather station and PC: Data exchange is also conducted between a PC on the bridge deck and the data aquisition unit. The PC serves as a display for the weather data but can also be used for manually entering observations. The telegram is DWD-internal and does not follow any standards. It is not distributed to foreign users.
