parseNS1($file)

Params: -string fully qualified filename Returns: list of lists each item in the sublist corresponds to a list from parseNSSummary Example: $ref = $obj->parseNS1($file);

Private Methods

readAPInfo($fileHandle,$fileVersion)

Params: reference - Filehandle reference number - NS1 Version Returns: list - smae format as parseNSSummary

readAPData($fileHandle,$fileVersion)

Params: reference - Filehandle reference number - NS1 Version Returns: nothing TODO: Add a return value to this method to build graphs

readGPSData($fileHandle)

Params: reference - Filehandle reference Returns: nothing TODO: Add a return value to this method to build graphs

readint64($fileHandle)

Params: reference - Filehandle reference Returns: a 64bit number

readDouble($fileHandle)

Params: reference - Filehandle reference Returns: a double

readint32($fileHandle)

Params: reference - Filehandle reference Returns: a 32bit number

readUint32($fileHandle)

Params: reference - Filehandle reference Returns: an unsigned 32bit number

readUint8($fileHandle)

Params: reference - Filehandle reference Returns: an unsigned 8bit number

readChars($fileHandle,$length)

Params: reference - Filehandle reference length - number of bytes to read Returns: a string

ensurePos($fileHandle,$prePosition,$postPosition,$amountNeeded)

This method was aadded due to an odd behavior with Perl5.8 read would sometimes put the file pointer 1 byte beyond where it was supposed to be. This method fixes that issue Params: reference - Filehandle reference number - Pre read position of the file number - Post position of the file number - Correct amount to data that was supposed to be read
