Issue Details

I am using  Redhat Enterprise Linux RHEL 8.3, Qt5.3 and C++.
Is it possible to modify the driver/firmware or using programming to read all the data bytes (control function bytes) of IRIG-B with 6683H?

Solution

The 6683H and NI-Sync cannot return the raw data from the IRIG frame. It decodes the signal on the board and sets it's time to the IRIG signal. If you want to actually see the signal, you'll need to use a different module and decode the signal in your code. For example, you can use an oscilloscope to capture the raw signal.
