PAS moments L0 data contains the following moments:

  • density : int16_t

  • velocity : int16_t * 3

  • pressure_tensor : float16_t * 6

float16_t isn’t a natural data type for common C/C++ compiler

We have to find an external library to handle them

Solution

C software library was found in python numpy libraries.

Source : https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/numpy/core/src/npymath/halffloat.c

Code : documents/halffloat.c

This code was rewritten, to suppress numpy dependencies, and integrated in:

software/tools/src/TYPES.c
