If the delivered stick doesn’t include a driver program for the operating system used, it can be downloaded from: http://www.meinbergglobal.com/english/sw/ On the USB stick there is a file called "readme.txt", which helps installing the driver correctly. Date: 10th July 2017 TCR51USB...
"Inter Range Instrumentation Group" (IRIG) in the early 60´s. Except these "IRIG Time Codes" other formats, like NASA36, XR3 or 2137, are still in use. The board TCR51USB however only decodes IRIG-A, IRIG-B or AFNOR NFS 87-500 formats. The AFNOR code is a variant of the IRIG-B format.
4 Features: TCR51USB The TCR51USB was developed for computer systems with USB connection. TCR51USB serves to receive and decode modulated (AM) and unmodulated (DC Level Shift) IRIG and AFNOR time codes. AM-codes are trans- mitted by modulating the amplitude of a sine wave carrier, unmodulated codes by variation of the width of pulses.
After the received IRIG code has passed a consistency check, the software clock and the battery backed real- time clock of TCR51USB are synchronized to the external time reference. If an error in the IRIG telegram is detected, the system clock of the board switches to holdover mode. Drifting of the internal time base is limited to 1 sec/sec by regulating the onboard quartz of TCR51USB.

Monitorprogramm. 4.3 Connectors and LEDs The housing of the TCR51USB contains the connectors for the Timecode (IRIG AM/DC), two LED‘s, the key for the Bootstrap-Loader as soon as the the USB connector. The LEDs signal the status of the IRIG receiver. The upper, red LED is switched on whenever the internal timing of TCR51USB is in holdover mode.
Powersupply. This enables a independent Voltagesupply for the internal realtime clock of ca. 5 Days. After this this time the TCR51USB is not able to read, during the start activity, the correct time and date information from the realtime clock. Therefor the TCR51USB is not able to synchronize to the received IRIG signal.
USB. In contrast to AFNOR NFS 87-500 the IRIG telegram containes only the day of year (1...366) instead of a complete date. To ensure correct function of TCR51USB, the date stored in the realtime clock of the board must be set when using IRIG codes therefore. This setting can be done by a terminal software also.

The contents of the program memory will not be modified until the loader program has sent the command to erase the flash memory. So if the button has been pressed accidentally, the system will be ready to operate again after the computer has been turned off an the on again. TCR51USB Date: 10th July 2017...
