//00 NEEDS
What brings you here.
The situations this instrument was built for — and what it does about each one.
Need 01
Flight-test recordings are GB-scale, and the bench machine is disconnected.
Answer
Chapter 10 files are streamed, not loaded — peak memory stays flat regardless of file size, and no server is required.
Need 02
Recorder files arrive damaged, and most tools just stop.
Answer
Resync scans across damaged regions; every byte is accounted for as packet or damage, with offset, length and cause.
Need 03
A viewer that guesses a byte layout produces plausible numbers that are wrong.
Answer
Every standard-derived constant is transcribed by a human, with a citation, or the feature stays switched off.

//00 IN PRACTICE
What you'll see.
Browse a recording's channels, walk its packet timeline, see exactly where the file is damaged, plot analog channels, read serial channels, and export any of it to CSV or raw binary. Indexing streams the file and skips packet bodies, so peak memory stays flat regardless of file size.
01
Analog channel with the file map and packet timeline
The file map runs along the byte axis of the whole recording: teal for packets, amber for a gap it recovered from, rust for damage it could not recover. Every byte is accounted for exactly once — enforced by a test, not by hope.
02
Serial channel decoded into subpackets
Serial channels are split into subpackets with a text view. Waveforms use min/max envelope decimation, not every-Nth sampling, so a single-sample spike anywhere stays visible.
03
The gate: no layout transcribed, nothing parsed
The viewer contains no hardcoded IRIG 106 packet layout. Every standard-derived constant must be transcribed by a human, with a citation, or the feature stays switched off — a viewer that guesses at a byte layout produces plausible numbers that are wrong.

//00 FAQ
Quick answers
Does Ch10 Viewer work offline?
Yes. Like every NOKTRA instrument it is offline-first: no cloud services, no telemetry, and any AI runs locally on your own machine. It is built for air-gapped networks.
What platform does Ch10 Viewer run on?
Windows 10/11 x64. It ships as a single executable — no runtime install.
Is Ch10 Viewer available for download now?
Not yet — it is in development. It is listed with no promised date, until a build exists you can run.
