AIMMS Winds: USB - combine_aimms, convert_aimmstonasa, convert2kml

Purpose

To process and generate Google Earth flight paths from USB AIMMS Probe data files.

Combine Files

Concatenate all ".A??" files into one ".aim" file.

• Example: "combine_aimms file=12091440.A00" gives the combined file "12091440.aim".
• Example: "cat 12091440.A00 12091440.A01 > 12091440.aim" gives the combined file "12091440.aim".

Convert the ".aim" file from step 1 into a file of the correct format using the ADPAA command "convert_aimmstonasa file=*inputfile*.aim".

• Example: "convert_aimmstonasa file=12091440.aim" produces the file "97_12_09_14_40_07.aimms.realtime_usb.raw".

Convert the file generated in step 2 into kml format using the ADPAA command "convert2kml < *inputfile* > *outputfile*".

• Example: "convert2kml < 97_12_09_14_40_07.aimms.realtime_usb.raw > 97_12_09_14_40_07.aimms.realtime_usb.kml" produces the file "97_12_09_14_40_07.aimms.realtime_usb.kml".

The kml file may now be loaded into Google Earth.
