Hi Luc,
TLMEcho is the program for LIVE decoding of AO-51 telemetry packets during a pass. Some telemetry channels are sent via 9600 baud packet at a regular interval, usually 10 seconds, and TLMEcho can decode these (using a 9600 baud modem) LIVE as they are coming down.
The new WOD decoder is different--it is used to decode satellite telemetry data collected (more channels usually) and stored on the satellite during a whole orbit (usually set for 24 hours). Once the WOD file is finished, it appears on the PBBS and can be downloaded via WISP. The downloaded WOD file can then be decoded by DK3WN's new program after it has been downloaded from the satellite as a big file (about 180k).
I hope that helps clear things up :)
73,
Mark N8MH

Thanks to our resident telemery guru Mike Rupprecht DK3WN a new AO-51 whole orbit data (WOD) telemetry decoder has been released! ?The file with decoder and coefficients file can be downloaded from here:
http://www.dk3wn.info/files/ao51wod.zip
The AO-51 telemetry archive is on the AMSAT FTP server. ?DK3WN's new decoder is for processing "raw" WOD telemetry files. ?For example, the WOD data collected for October 2009 is here:
ftp://ftp.amsat.org/pub/amsat/telemetry/ao51/2009WOD/Oct2009/raw1009/
The decoder generates a .CSV (comma separated) file that can be opened in Excel, etc. ?A nice feature is that the telemetry program acutally graphs the data, too!
THANKS, Mike DK3WN!

Hi Mark
Is it a new program or a new update for "tlmecho"? I guess it's a new one but just to be safe.
Thank's
