Description

Approved under F.A.A. TSO-C88a the Model IA-RS232C-R is an all solid-state microprocessor-based device, which converts serial (RS232C) altitude data received from pressure altitude reporting equipment, into parallel and serial digital altitude data.

The parallel digital data protocol is set forth in the (ICAO) International Standard for Pressure Altitude Transmission. This data format is in accordance with U.S. National Standards for Common System Component Characteristics for the I.F.F. Mark X (SIF)/Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System SIF/ATCRBS.
