ATM ===

ATM comes as raw data on the flight disks and is moved into files by a program called azed. Each data frame has a 16 bit header (holding the scan number?) then 11 unsigned ints of data. Note that there are two types of ATM file - ones containing navigation (normally az*000 but not always) and ones containing imagery.

There's an apparent byte pattern of "AZSYS001" at the start of the files, at least for 2007 ATM. I suspect if the data you're looking at is old (early 90s?) it will be different as there was a change to the ATM back then sometime.

This is infact a data frame header, but still identifies the file as being ATM. You can only tell a nav file by checking all the records - if they are all nav frames then it is a nav only file. ATM files have both nav and ATM frames.

Samples from 2007 - first 16 bytes of files:
