An aircraft data acquisition system records data from many different instrument. Measurement from each instrument are converted to physical units if necessary and instrument file is create containing all parameters obtained for the instrument. The instrument files are typically further processed and combined together into a summary file containing parameters of scientific interest. Below are instrument files.
