Is it possible to decode IRIG-B signal using 6601 card?

We are preparing for a test that requires both time-varying data and quasi-steady data to be recorded and coordinated with a sort of timestamp.
We can feed the IRIG signal into one of our NI-4472  channels in one DAQ system, but we need to coordinate with another DAQ system which is
sampling at much lower rates and time-averaging the data (using a 6224 card and external devices).  We have a PCI-6601 counter-timer card available
but I only see examples and discussion of reading the IRIG-B signal with counters on the 6608 card.
Can I do the same thing with the 6601 card?
 
Thanks

Dave,


Unfortunately, the 6608 is the only device which performs IRIG-B decoding. Provided you perform some sort of start synchronization, though, you should be able to effectively measure the time between samples with a buffered period measurement task to within the accuracy of the oscillator on the 6602. This should work just as well. Please let me know if you need any clarification.
