| Abstract : | The Balloon Facility of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR-BF), Hyderabad launches zero pressure scientific balloons every year for research in the field of astronomy, astrobiology and atmospheric science. TIFR-BF being near to the equator has several advantages for the experiments in astrophysics and being close to the convergence zone, it is an important site for atmospheric science experiments. TIFR-BF has the capability to design, fabricate and launch Zero-pressure balloons and also recover the payload for reusability. The instrumentation group provides the complete data downlink, uplink and tracking support. In this paper, we will present LabVIEWTM based Telemetry data decoding and graphical user interface software for balloon-borne experiment. This software will receive S-band telemetry data on UDP port, it will extract, decode and display on board Telecommand housekeeping data. This software also can be customized to extract and decode information from received S-band telemetry data which is transmitted from various astronomical, atmospheric or any onboard science payloads. It will also display these data graphically and in a user-friendly format. |
