File Directory Dump Telemetry Packets


Each File Directory Dump telemetry packet contains the listing of one file or subdirectory in the target directory. The directory entry listings are extracted sequentially and inserted into consecutive telemetry packets. The example below shows the construction of an file directory dump transfer of N entries. The 'SF' marker shows the value of the CCSDS packet header-sequence flags. The 'SC' marker shows the value of the CCSDS packet header-sequence counter. The sequence count in the first packet of the dump is designated 'S'. The sequence count will increment predictably from the value presented in the first packet.
