Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
cFS framework produces many binary files. Provide a general mechanism for parse/display given a defined format.

Describe the solution you'd like
Use whatever data description format is used for telemetry to interpret the file. Selectable format file, selectable binary file.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Separate tool from ground station, different description formats. Whatever works, but suggest leveraging ground system capabilities for interpreting telemetry streams.

Additional context
None
