Description

Description

As mentioned in #113 , there are a number of decoder scripts in rawdatautils/scripts that either look at very old data types, or have repeated functionality making use of slightly different unpacking tools. It would be ideal to consolidate these and deprecate/remove old decoders that are no longer needed or supported.

Identify decoders for obsolete data types and repeated unpacking functionality, then determine which can be consolidated, deprecated, or removed; the issue provides no specific tests or completion criteria.
