Q

A typical PC program that is used widely for logging and troubleshooting NMEA 0183 data is:

🔍 Key Concepts

• NMEA 0183 is a serial data protocol commonly viewed as plain text over a COM port • Some older Windows communication utilities were often used to monitor raw serial data streams • Think about which program is designed for serial terminal/port communication, not for spreadsheets or documents

💭 Think About

• Which of these choices is specifically meant to connect to and display raw serial data (like COM port output)? • Which options are mainly for file management or document editing, and therefore unlikely to be used for live data logging from a GPS or AIS? • If you had to watch NMEA sentences scroll by in real time, which tool would let you open a COM port and see plain text?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate answers that are clearly for word processing or spreadsheets • Ask: which tool historically came preinstalled on Windows for serial terminal work? • Confirm that the remaining option can open a COM port and display raw text data streams
