A question, not an issue about Stratus internal native format for FIS B data #843

Hi, It might not be the right location to place the question, but I do not know where to ask.

i do intend to interface Stratux, and other internet aviation weather data, and push that to well known brand of aviation GPS. To be as efficient as possible, I would like to know where I can get a description of the native stratux internal data formats for FIS - B data.

How METAR are stored temporarly in Stratux? Same for TAF, PIREPS, winds aloft, NEXRAD images etc. Is stratux just behaving as a pass through, and spits out data that it gets from FIS-B uplink, with no buffering, or is there an internal buffer, waiting for a data set to be complete, then it takes it from the buffer, and puts it out to GDL90 interface? For example the NEXRAD images.. is it stored internally as a complete PNG image?

If there are internal buffers, which specification should I look at?

Thank you.

There is a buffer. See: https://github.com/cyoung/stratux/blob/master/notes/app-vendor-integration.md
