contain the binary equivalent of tens of years. In keeping with IRIG formats, the least sig-
nificant bit occurs first.
Elements 80 through 97 are encoded with the Straight Binary Seconds (SBS) time data.
The SBS time data is incremented in 10-second steps and recycles every 24 hours.
Pulse rates:
Element rate: 10 per second.
Position identifier rate: 1 per second.
Reference marker rate: 1 per 10 seconds.
Element identification: The "on time" reference point for all elements is the pulse
leading edge.
Index marker (Binary 0 or uncoded element): 20 millisecond duration.
Code digit (Binary 1): 50 millisecond duration.
Position identifier: 80 millisecond duration.
Reference marker: 80 millisecond duration, 1 per 10 seconds. The reference marker
appears as two consecutive position identifiers. The second position identifier or ref-
erence marker is the on-time point for the succeeding code word.
