Now we know that our antenna is receiving correctly the APT signals, we want to decode this signal and to display the weather images. At first, we used a specific software WXtoImg which demodulate directly the APT signal and do automatically all the processing to display APT images. And then we did all the demodualtion and processing by ourself using LabView. But before, we will see how we were able to track NOAA satellites and to know when were the best passes over our city.

WXTrack is a software that was available in our laboratory. It allows to track any NOAA satellites and to get many information about the passes above a city, the duration of the pass, the quality of the signal we can get and other important information. The software interface looks like this:
