Here you can find info on how to use all available functions.

Getting Started:

To use the decoder after importing it, from apt_tele_decode import TelemetryGrabber, you first need to create a class instance of the TelemetryGrabber(). You need to specify a path to the image file you would like to decode and if you want to use the temperature calibration you also need to specify the satellite that transmitted the image. This is important for accurate calibrations because the coefficients vary with the satellite.

  • 0 --> NOAA 15
  • 1 --> NOAA 18
  • 2 --> NOAA 19

An example for NOAA 18 would be:

grabber = TelemetryGrabber("raw1.png", 1)

Interpreting the data:

A detailed description of the data recovered and its construction can be found in the NOAA user guide.

Help, it is not working:

if anything is not working but no errors pop up one should call the visualize_telemetry() telemetry function to see if the frames where correctly picked up it should look like this image. More info on this function can be found on its page
