This document describes the decoding of the 128 logical telemetry
channels of the AMSAT Phase 3C satellite, OSCAR-13.
Bytes are counted in the followings ways:
C - unsigned count (0 to +255)
Cs - signed count (-128 to +127, 2s complement)
Cx - signed count (+63 to -192, #3F=+63, #FF=-1, #80=-128,
#7F=-129, #40=-192, modified 2s complement)
All temperature channels are decoded identically using the following
decoding relationship:
Temp: T = (C-120)/1.71 Celsius
Current channels are linear, but have different calibrations for
1A, 2.5A and 5A max. current:
1A: I = (C-15)*4.854 mA
2.5A: I = (C-15)*12.135mA
5A: I = (C-15)*24.27 mA
Here the Channel identification and decoding equations:
