List of Terminologies
Adaptation Data data used to initialize the system at startup
Coast  action done by the RDPS on a track when radar reports are no longer correlated to the track
Latitude a number that indicates the latitude of the current track position with a precision of 1/10,000 of a degree of latitude. i.e., four decimal places. [Units: degrees of latitude, Range: -90.0000 <= latitude <= 90.0000]
Longitude a number that indicates the longitude of the current track position with a precision of 1/10,000 of a degree of longitude. i.e., four decimal places. [Units: degrees of longitude, Range: -180.0000 <= longitude <= 180.0000]
MDC status an enumerated type with two values: ¡§true¡¨ and ¡§false¡¨
Mode A SSR a four digit octal number transponded by an aircraft
Mode A SSR code  same as the corresponding data element of a radar report
Mode A SSR code status same as the corresponding data element of a radar report
Mode C Altitude altitude information transponded by an aircraft derived from the air pressure sensed by the aircraft
Mode C altitude (pressure corrected) same as the corresponding data element of a radar report, except that the pressure is corrected using the altimeter setting for a radar source.
Mode C altitude status same as the corresponding data element of a radar report
MSAW status an enumerated type with two values: ¡§true¡¨ and ¡§false"
SCC status an enumerated type with three values: ¡§active,¡¨ ¡§pending¡¨ and "false"
Stand-by processor the secondary processor that is in a stand-by state in case of the failure of the primary processor
Track the report resulting from a correlation of radar reported position of an aircraft and its associated information
Track quality an enumerated type with three values: ¡§active,¡¨ ¡§coasting¡¨ and ¡§coasted out¡¨
Unique track identifier a number that uniquely identifies the subject of the update, i.e., the track from which the ¡§track update¡¨ has been derived. [Range: 0 <= unique track identifier < 1000]
