IMO Dump for ODME using the Rivertrace IMO log.

Rivertrace has written an IMO Log program to download and view IMO data produced by the ODME system. This is supplied with the USB stick when unit is purchased or can be requested from Rivertrace after should you require it.

Preparation 

Before you start, you need to determine if your ODME computer module is set up to dump data to the USB port or the RS232 port. This is dependent on the hardware jumper settings that are detailed here. 

Also, within the ODME Computer settings, the "Terminal Baud" rate should be set to 38400.
