Hi,
Synop decoding is progressing well, I am polishing the code at the moment.
The decoding is done at three places:
* The RTTY modem now has a tick box in its config tab, which makes that
all SYNOP tags (five-digits groups) are decoded.
* Because SYNOP messages are entities spanning several lines, with
coordinates, this logic is a bit difficultto render accurately in the
outptu window (Which is line and char oriented). Therefore, when a SYNOP
message is completely validated, it is written with its coordinates and
timestamp, in a KML file which can be viewed with Google Earth of Google
Maps. This is not costly (It optionnaly writes data in a text file of
the right format) but is extremely convenient to check that SYNOP
messages are at the right place, from the right destination.
* A new "flsynop" program has been introduced which takes any text file
as input and generates an output where all the SYNOP tags have been
replaced. it uses the sale code as fldigi and is very helpful to debug
things, but also to decode any text file.
In terms of implementation:
* Small add to rtty.cxx for diplaying the decoded result.
* New tock box in the rtty config tab.
* A couple of new text files (One of them very big but it makes things
simpler, instead of splitting it for no reason).
* A couple of new config files for the buoys, weather statoins and ships
definitions.
Later on, we can reuse the KML file creation, then for Navtex data
(Which also comes with coordinates).
Any opinion or remark, please ?
Thanks
R
