MTU-AIS DIAGNOSTIC 

The proAtoN application helps in verifying and testing the installation of MTU-AIS equipment, 
checking the status of antennas and their wiring. There are 3 tabs where we can get information 
about how AIS works. 
 

7.1.

 

GPS TAB 

The GNSS tab allows us to make a diagnosis of the GPS operation. 
The information you provide to us is as follows: 

 

-Position, UTC Time, Speed and heading, Satellites in sight and in use. 

 

 

 
The graph represents the signal of detected and in-use satellites, as well as the SBAS correction 
satellites used. SBAS satellites can be from 

WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS

 networks. 

 

 
 

7.2.

 

TAB SERIAL DATA. 

Displays the AIS data of the receiver in the format NMEA0183 / IEC61162-1 It can record the 
data in a file and be able to apply filters on the received data.
