IRIG-B to NTP/SNTP & Serial RS232 Converter
IRIG-B:
Inter-range instrumentation group time codes, commonly known as IRIG timecodes, were created by the TeleCommunications Working Group of the Inter-Range Instrumentation Group, the standards body of the Range Commanders Council. Work on these standards started in October 1956, and the original standards were accepted in 1960.
The original formats were described in IRIG Document 104-60, later revised and reissued in August 1970 as IRIG Document 104-70, upgraded later that year as the IRIG Document to the status of a Standard, IRIG Standard 200-70. The latest version of the Standard is IRIG Standard 200-04.
The different time codes defined in the Standard have alphabetic designations. A, B, D, E, G, and H are the standards currently defined by 200-04.C was in the original specification, but was replaced by H.
The main difference between codes is their rate, which varies between one pulse per second and 10,000 pulses per second.

NTP(Network Time Protocol):
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks.
A less complex implementation of NTP, using the same protocol but without requiring the storage of state over extended periods of time, is known as the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). It is used in some embedded devices and in applications where high accuracy timing is not required.
In operation since before 1985, NTP is one of the oldest Internet protocols in use. NTP was originally designed by David L. Millsof the University of Delaware, who still develops and maintains it with a team of volunteers.
