<p>The application describes a method of analysing data link messages, comprising the steps of: a) receiving a plurality of data link messages; b) assigning each data link message to one of a plurality of message groups such that each group contains data link messages of a specific message type; c) within a group, (i) tabulating the messages so as to align corresponding fields; (ii) displaying the tabulated data. For each field type, it is preferred to display a list of field contents within that type, filtered to remove repeated incidence of the same content. Thus, the user is presented simultaneously with a summary of the common entries for a particular field type and any spurious or unusual entries. It is also useful to filter the lists to remove repeated incidence of content falling with a specified narrow range. This could be more useful for continuously variable data types such as latitude or longitude data. This is particularly applicable to tactical data link messages. <IMAGE></p> |
