  1. Download the cpr_colossus_converter.exe tool and save it to the same location as the .cpr files that you wish to convert. Navtech downloads are located here: Navtech Tools Downloads.

  2. Open a windows Terminal and change directory to the directory containing the cpr_colossus_converter.exe

  3. Run a command to use the converter with a .cpr file with an encoder size. There are optional flags to manually set the amount of azimuths per rotation of the radar and disable compression of the data. For example;

Info

Useful flags Flags for converting:

-f to specify the file location of the .cpr file to convert.

-e to specify the radar's encoder size (The the radar whose data that was recorded in the .cpr file).

-a an optional flag to manually set the amount of azimuths per rotation of the radar (the amount of azimuths is automatically calculated by the tool, but could be incorrect for a dodgy recording)).

-c another an optional flag which will disable compression of the data (compression is enabled by default to save space).
