IRIG 106-13 Chapter 10 Programming Handbook
This programming handbook presents the results of work performed by members of the Telemetry Group (TG) under Task TG-110 of the Range Commanders Council (RCC) to update the original handbook to reflect additions and changes to the standard made since its release.
IRIG 106-09 was released in April of 2009 with primarily clarifications and additional definitions for existing commands. No new data types were added with this release although the TELNET protocol was introduced as a new interface type for ground-based recorders. In addition, a number of changes were made to support XML TMATS for use in configuring the recorder.
IRIG 106-13 was released in June of 2013 with two new data types (CAN BUS and AFDX) plus a new sub-type to support Dynamic Image Packets. A complete list of changes to this version can be found under IRIG 106-13 Changes. A number of updates were also made to TMATS (IRIG 106-13 Chapter 9) related to Chapter 10 with a complete list found under IRIG 106-13 TMATS Changes.
DOCUMENT PURPOSE
The primary goal of this document is to provide updates to the original where additional clarification is needed or where new information needs to be added. The sections below address both of these cases.
- Network Control
IRIG 106-09 added the ability to issue Chapter 6 commands via a TELNET interface. It does not specify how this interface is to be configured nor does it provide any specific commands for that purpose.
SAMPLE CODE
Many if not most programmers learn best from sample code. This update to the IRIG 106 Programmer's Handbook adds a number of new code samples in multiple languages to show how to process different data types and specific features of the Chapter 10 file format. These samples are linked below on individual pages to make it easy to access. A number of these samples use the C library available from sourceforge.
