Page 11: General Information About Time Code
Except these "IRIG Time Codes" other formats, like NASA36, XR3 or 2137, are still in use. The board TCR180USB-EL however only decodes IRIG-A, IRIG-B, AFNOR NFS 87-500 or IEEE1344 formats. The AFNOR code is a variant of the IRIG-B format. Within this code the complete date is transmitted in- stead of the "Control Functions"... -
