PostproDecode

Purpose

This command line application extracts the INS configuration data and decodes the enciphered raw data included in the post-processing file.

When used with the recommended /f xpf option, it outputs an *.xpf INS file and an *.xml configuration file.

Usage

Argument

Value

Description

/version

Optional

Displays version information about this application.

/remote

Optional

Remote mode must be used when this application is embedded into an external application. Default is interactive mode.

/f

Mandatory

Format of the output (text, xml, xpf, script).

/sort

Optional

Sorting method for input file list (none, alpha, smart).

/maxMissed

Optional

Maximum number of missing IMU frames (default to 10).

/utc

Optional

Date of the data if not available into the file.

/cud

Optional

Indicates if the drift of the INS clock should be compensated. This option must be turned on when a PPS was sent to the INS during the survey.

/usc

Optional

Indicates to time stamp the IMU frames using a synthetic clock.

/skip

Optional

Skips the nnn first bytes of the file before starting the process.

/skipTime

Optional

Skips the nnn first seconds of the file before starting the process.

/stop

Optional

Stops the process after reaching the byte at offset nnn.

/stopTime

Optional

Stops the process after reaching nnn seconds.

/decipher

Optional

If yes, indicates that the IMU data are encrypted (default) and need to be deciphered.

/imu5msOffset

Optional

Do not use.

/clockDriftOffset

Optional

Manuel clock drift in ms (default is 0.0).

/interpolateDrift

Optional

Used to interpolate the INS smooth drift from the previous values (default is no).

input

Mandatory

(List of) input file name(s) (post-pro file).

/o

Mandatory

Name of the output file.

 

Exemple

In this example a logged post protocol file from an ROV is converted to XPF format. In our current folder we have a single logged post processing file named ROVDive.txt. We are going to convert this file to an XPF file called out.xpf so we can further process it.

"C:\Program Files\Exail\DELPH INS Subsea\PostproDecode.exe" /autostart on /f xpf /cud on ROVDive.txt /o out.xpf
