Simrad TPR datagram format
Simrad TPR is a proprietary datagram format created by Kongsberg Maritime. It provides the relative bearing and water depth of the trawl sensor, as well as its distance from the vessel. The bearing resolution is 1 degree.
Format

Description
Note
All data relate to the trawl sensor (target).
1 IITalker identifier
2 TPRDatagram identifier
3 x,MHorizontal range in metres (0 – 4000 m)
4 y,PBearing in degrees (Relative to vessel heading)
5 z,z,MDepth in metres (0 – 2000 m)
Note
The Simrad ITI measures the depth differently from the range and the bearing. If the ITI only knows the range and the bearing, the depth field is empty.
