Hi, I'm working with Air Traffic Management and would like to perform checks / compute statistics on ASTERIX data. ASTERIX is an ATM Surveillance Data Binary Messaging Format (http://www.eurocontrol.int/asterix/public/standard_page/overview.html)
The data consist of a concatenation of consecutive data blocks. Each data block consists of data category + length + records. Each record is of variable length and consists of several data items (that are well defined for each category). Some data items might be present or not depending on a field specification (bitfield). I started to write a parser using hachoir (https://bitbucket.org/haypo/hachoir/overview) a pure python library. But the parsing was really too slow and taking a lot of memory. That's not really useable. >From what I read, PyTables could really help to manipulate and analyze the >data. So I've been thinking about writing a tool (probably in C) to convert my ASTERIX format to HDF5. Before I start, I'd like confirmation that this seems like a suitable application for PyTables. Is there another approach than writing a conversion tool to HDF5?
