2.4.4 Raw Data to Asterix Conversion
Recorded Raw Data represent the actually received messages as seen by the Ground Station’s signal
processing hardware. These can be inspected on an individual message basis as in the Raw Data
tools or converted to Asterix target reports, almost similar to the Ground Station processing (a number
of restrictions apply). This is an opportunity to verify data content offline without using the actual
Ground Station.
The Raw Data to Asterix Converter (RAC) is able to output Asterix data either fully decoded, together
with the respective Raw input data, or as Asterix data stream that could drive the ADS−B Display
More details about the RAC tool is available within Chapter 4.
