TELEMETRY ATTRIBUTES TRANSFER STANDARD FORMAT EXAMPLE General Information Group (G) Transmission Attributes Group (T-1) Tape Source Attributes Group (R-1) Multiplex/Modulation Groups (M-1, M-2, M-3) PCM Format Attributes Groups (P) PCM Measurement Description (D) Data Conversion Groups (C) The following example is for illustrative purposes and is by no means a complete attributes file; it is representative of the types of information likely to be transferred. Many attributes are purposely omitted to simplify the example. In some of the groups, only those entries necessary to link to other groups are provided. Attributes, which link the various groups together, are indicated in boldface. Selected attributes are described in text form as an aid to following the example. All text, which describes the example, is printed in italics. All text, which is part of the example file, is printed in plain text. The example file being transferred consists of the attributes of a single RF data source and an analog tape containing two data sources. The RF data source is a PCM signal, which contains an embedded asynchronous wave train. The two recorded data sources are PCM signals: one is an aircraft telemetry stream, and the other is a radar data telemetry stream. Figure J-1 shows the example file in terms of the attribute groups and their interrelationships. Refer to the attribute tables while reviewing the example. ![]() |
