Ship data logger MScribe™

for boatNMEA

Overview
MScribe records heading and steering data supplied by the vessel’s navigation and autopilot systems and stores them as a continuous, reviewable track. Channel selection aligns with connected sources so manoeuvres replay exactly as steered. Continuous recording of heading and steering supports bridge and technical teams in reconstructing manoeuvres, comparing operating conditions and investigating course-related events.

Key benefits

• Digital recording of selected heading and steering signals.
• Time-series presentation of supported course and steering data.
• Recorded data for manoeuvre analysis and operational review.
• Channel selection matched to the vessel’s connected sensors and systems.
• Every heading change recorded for turn-by-turn review.
• Set heading logged alongside actual heading to show set/actual gaps during passages.
• Rudder movements recorded on the same timeline to show helm activity during manoeuvres.
