ICompactPositionReporting.Encode Method

ICompactPositionReportingEncode Method

Encodes a latitude and longitude to CPR coordinates.

Namespace: VirtualRadar.Interface.Adsb
Assembly: VirtualRadar.Interface (in VirtualRadar.Interface.dll) Version: 1.0.0.0 (1.0.0.0)

Syntax

C++

Copy

CompactPositionReportingCoordinate Encode(
	GlobalCoordinate globalCoordinate,
	bool oddFormat,
	byte numberOfBits
)

Function Encode ( 
	globalCoordinate As GlobalCoordinate,
	oddFormat As Boolean,
	numberOfBits As Byte
) As CompactPositionReportingCoordinate

CompactPositionReportingCoordinate^ Encode(
	GlobalCoordinate^ globalCoordinate, 
	bool oddFormat, 
	unsigned char numberOfBits
)

abstract Encode : 
        globalCoordinate : GlobalCoordinate * 
        oddFormat : bool * 
        numberOfBits : byte -> CompactPositionReportingCoordinate

Parameters

globalCoordinate: Type: VirtualRadar.Interface.AdsbGlobalCoordinate
The latitude and longitude to encode.
oddFormat: Type: SystemBoolean
True if ODD formatting is required, false if EVEN formatting is required.
numberOfBits: Type: SystemByte
The number of bits to encode to - this can be one of 12, 14, 17 or 19.

Return Value

Type: CompactPositionReportingCoordinate

Remarks

Note that the standard only allows for even encoding when the number of bits is 14. Implementations do not have to police this. VRS does not use this method, implementations only need to supply a full version of this method if they want to pass the unit tests.
