Use this process to generate Google Earth flight paths from USB AIMMS Probe data. Last edited 8/03/2017 - Shawn Wagner [shawn.wagner@und.edu] 1. Concatenate all ".A??" files into one ".aim" file using the ADPAA combine_aimms script or the linux command "cat".
Example: "combine_aimms file=12091440.A00" give combine file 12091440.aim Example: "cat 12091440.A00 12091440.A01 > 12091440.aim" give combine file "12091440.aim".
2. Convert the ".aim" file from step 1 into a file of the correct format using ADPAA command "convert_aimmstonasa file=*inputfile*.aim".
Example: "convert_aimmstonasa file=12091440.aim" produces the file "97_12_09_14_40_07.aimms.realtime_usb.raw".
3. Convert file generated in step 2 into kml format using ADPAA command "convert2kml < *inputfile* > *outputfile*".
Example: "convert2kml < 97_12_09_14_40_07.aimms.realtime_usb.raw > 97_12_09_14_40_07.aimms.realtime_usb.kml" produces the file "97_12_09_14_40_07.aimms.realtime_usb.kml".
4. The file produced in step 3 may now be loaded into Google Earth.
