ADSB Devices

Information presented here may be helpful for diagnosing connection issues.
There are two parts to the ADSB section depending on the type of ADSB-in device connected:

1. The first part lists the Status of a variety of ADSB devices that have been connected to AvPlan, with diagnostic data as follows:

• Device name
• Device Software Version
• Device Serial number
• Device Battery level
• Traffic count- the number of ADSB targets currently being received and processed
• TAFs received- where NEXRAD weather is available over ADSB, the number of TAFs received
• METAR’s received- where NEXRAD weather is available over ADSB, the number of METARs received
• NEXRAD Status (the time of the most recent update)

If in the USA and available from the device, a list of ADSB (UAT) transmitter locations is presented below the diagnostic information.

2. The second part lists devices based on a Raspberry Pi processor.

• the IP address of the device
• The device startup status (connected / disconnected)
• The number of 1090-ES ADSB targets currently acquired
• The nature of the most recent data or connection error, if any.
