NMEA-0183 Message Generator and Stress Test Utility

NmeaWiz is a full-featured NMEA message generator and stress testing tool. This utility enables both developers and users to generate various NMEA-0183 message formats in order to evaluate the effects of variations in speed, heading, depth and position on GPS, compass, and other shipboard sensors.

New in V1.9- It's not just for NMEA anymore!

NmeaWiz now allows you to send your own custom test data to any serial port at your specified rate. This feature is extremely useful for running product demos and creating test scenarios for applications that use data sets other than NMEA.

NmeaWiz generates many different NMEA-0183 messages in both version 1.5 and 2.0 formats, enabling you to fully test any NMEA-0183 device. With NmeaWiz you don't have to wonder how your program will respond to noise, aberrations in speed, heading or depth. Now you've got the tool to test it and prove it!

The friendly user interface allows you to key in any position, speed, heading or depth and instantly have the continuous output of selected NMEA messages transmitted over the serial port of your choice. NmeaWiz is great for running product demos where live data enhances the products real-time features. Now that NmeaWiz support sending any data through the serial port you'll be able to create virtually any test scenario you like.
