1.5 De Compressing the Data Files

While data files are being imported to Pilot Navigator, the process of decompression, decoding and statistics calculation is not being implemented. This process is classified into two cases. Provided that the data file is imported at the first time into Pilot Navigator, the above process will not been done. The advantage is to reduce the burden of system. If more operations are to be completed, such as to analyze test data of a port, go to and right click this port to choose any choice, for instance Event, Message or Add Custom Event etc. This action activates data file to decompress, decode and do statistics.
