IRIG 106 Software and Utilities

Overview and News

The Irig106.org software library is a growing library of routines and utility programs for reading and manipulating IRIG 106 format data files. Software is written in portable C, and supports the following compiler environments:

Windows GUI Utility Programs

These Windows utilities require the Windows .NET 2.0 or higher run time environment and the C Run Time Library. These run time environments are usually already installed and ready to use on your PC. If not, download and run dotnexfx.exe and vcredist_x86.exe. The .NET library and C Run Time Library are also available directly from Microsoft.

In Ver 1.4.0 it looks like the hex version of the PCM sync field may not be display right sometimes.

With this value:

P-1\MF5:11111110011010110010100001000000;

The program shows a frame sync of 0x7E6B2840 - dropping the highest bit.

It's probably a signed/unsigned mismatch.
i106Dub

Ver 0.9.2
0cf30fb1d392d637578e0734c5c67d04
 A program for dubbing Ch 10 data files, with selected time slices and selected channels.

Indexes are all recreated at the end of the data file. TMATS normally tells a recorder to write indexes after a set period of time of after a set number of packets within the data file. The index is legal and usable but validators will whine about the position of index packets. This will be addressed in a future release.

Version 0.9.2 may have a bug in how it recreates indexes. I'll post more when I know more.

Windows Command Line Utility Programs

Utility programs are command line utilities. They can be compiled and run from a Windows console or from a Unix/Linux shell.

Individual compiled versions built as Windows Console applications can be downloaded below. Or download the complete executables zip file

For portability reasons I've kept it a pretty generic library up until now. But lately I've been thinking about .NET specific build versions. .NET of course has no problem calling unmanaged code. A C++ wrapper is probably a good idea. From what I've been able to glean from MSDN C++ seems to offer a performance advantage over other .NET languages (C#, VB.NET, etc.) because managed C++ code can be made to call an unmanaged C/C++ library using native types with no interface marshaling, required from other languages. If someone wanted to take a swing at a C++ wrapper and .NET solution I'd be interested in posting it.

Feedback on what kind of library functionality and what kind of applications you're interested in would sure be appreciated. Feel free to drop me an email or leave comments here.
