the heartbeat will automatically start after 1 minute heartbeat is sent every 10 seconds
$RBTXT,01,01,07,{"type":"HEARTBEAT"}*33 

The data is formatted as NMEA TXT sentences.
The talker is RB. The data will typically span several sentences.
The logbook entry contains an ID. Later messages that regards this logbook entry will to this ID.

Examples of messages that refer to logbook entries like this are:
Strike through of entries. Master's signature. Remarks Verification of entries.
The format of the text encoded in the NMEA TXT sentences is json. 

Example of logbook entry:
