Software Operational Utility Description

ADS is an software operational utility, that can assist with the development of AIS application, AIS product, as well as the manufacturing of AIS products.

ADS provides multiple features. When used with the AITS-R or PMG1, it is a powerful operational tool. API’s (application program interface) are provided for both AITS-R and PMG1 interface control.

ADS provides an one display program solution, where the product can be monitored and controlled and the EUT (equipment under test) being monitored at the same time.

ADS displays AIS NMEA messages !—VDM and !—VDO for both control product and EUT. The respective performance on AIS1, AIS2 and DSC channels is displayed.

ADS features include:

Menu driven
Real time viewing
