Post-processing data
Data stored on the RT is in a raw, unprocessed format; these files have an RD extension.
The advantage of this is it can be reprocessed with different configuration settings. For
example, if the configuration was configured incorrectly when running in real-time, then
the configuration can be changed and the data can be reprocessed post-mission.
The software suite provided with the RT includes the NAVsolve, which can be used to
reprocess the data. NAVsolve also gives the user the ability to change the NCOM binary
output format to text.
A full explanation of NAVsolve is given in the “NAVsolve Manual”, which can be
downloaded from the OxTS support website.
