This spreadsheet is for analyzing the CubeSat Simulator telemetry.
This spreadsheet is for analyzing the CubeSatSim APRS and CW telemetry ONLY.
This is only used for the AFSK 1200 APRS telemetry mode. The latest version of the CubeSatSim supports Fox-1 telemetry emulation, so the use of this mode is encouraged - it does not use this spreadsheet as the telemetry is automatically decoded and graphed.
The best telemetry for the CubeSatSim is FSK which uses the AMSAT FoxTelem software to automatically demodulate, decode, and graph the data.
Setting up FoxTelem is described here https://github.com/alanbjohnston/CubeSatSim/wiki/Ground-Station

Copy your raw telemetry data into the Data Input tab. If you don't have any data, copy data from the Sample Data tab.
Copy your raw telemetry data into the Data Input tab. If you don't have any data, copy data from the Sample Data tab.
The odd rows should be a time timestamp (which is ignored) while the even rows should contain frames of telemetry data (beginning with "hi hi" then a series of 3 digit numbers). If this isn't the case, you will need to edit until even lines starting at row 2 contain frames of telemetry.
The odd rows can be a callsign or time timestamp (which is ignored) while the even rows should contain frames of telemetry data (beginning with "hi hi" then a series of 3 digit numbers). If this isn't the case, you will need to edit until even lines starting at row 2 contain frames of telemetry.
The telemetry starting in Row 2 will be automatically calculated and plotted.
The telemetry starting in Row 2 will be automatically calculated and plotted.
