REDUCTION AND ANALYSIS PROGRAM FOR TELEMETRY RECORDINGS (RAPTR): ANALYSIS AND DECOMMUTATION SOFTWARE FOR IRIG 106 CHAPTER 10 DATA

Abstract

Solid State On-Board Recording is becoming a revolutionary way of recording airborne telemetry data and IRIG 106 Chapter 10 “Solid State On-Board Recorder Standard” provides interface documentation for solid state digital data acquisition. The Reduction and Analysis Program for Telemetry Recordings (RAPTR) is a standardized and extensible software application developed by the 96th Communications Group, Test and Analysis Division, at Eglin AFB, and provides a data reduction capability for disk files in Chapter 10 format. This paper provides the system description and software architecture of RAPTR and presents the 96th Communication Group’s total solution for Chapter 10 telemetry data reduction.
