SondeMonitor - Features Analogue and digital sondes SondeMonitor
decodes the messages from both analogue (6-tone) radiosondes (Vaisala
RS80 series) and digital radiosondes (Vaisala RS92SGP and RS92AGP
series) using a simple UHF scanner receiver and the soundcard of a PC
or laptop. Data output SondeMonitor generates a data file of the raw
sample frequency data from analogue radiosondes and the raw hex data
from digital radiosondes. Raw display SondeMonitor displays the raw
measurand data in either table form or graphical form as a quick look
and to identify the balloon burst instant. Graphical displays
SondeMonitor displays the decoded data in either table form or
graphical form (right). A median filter and a smoothing filter are
both supplied to improve the signal to noise ratio of the telemetry
from analogue sondes that lack the error checking machanisms of the
digital sondes. Stueve diagram SondeMonitor can display the decoded
telemetry data from a digital sonde in a real-time using a Stueve
diagram (below right) that develops as the sonde ascends. The diagram
shows temperature and humidity against log pressure (altitude)
together with measured wind data if the GPS telemetry decode is
armed. GPS position tracking SondeMonitor can display a map showing
the ground track of digital (GPS) radio sondes during their flight
mission or processed from the telemetry data afterwards (right) It
can also ouput the current sonde position as a pseudo-GPS receiver in
serial NMEA format.
