Panel mounted time code reader. [Day of year, hour, minute, second from standard Inter Range Instrumentation Group time codes]
R.L. Shaum · 1978
The time code reader described is composed of an assembly of commonly available electronic components logically arranged to minimize component count while reliably achieving the basic function of decoding and displaying the time of year information which is available in each of several standard Inter Range Instrumentation Group (IRIG) time codes. The time code reader omits all subsidiary functions of the code except that of retrieving a readable time of year (day, hour, minute, second). The reader can be mounted on any equipment panel having an available flat surface that is 2 by 6 inches in dimensions. IRIG time codes A, B, E, and G can be read without the necessity of switching, and a relatively wide range of input voltages is accommodated.
