Namespace: VirtualRadar.Interface.Adsb
Assembly: VirtualRadar.Interface (in VirtualRadar.Interface.dll) Version: 1.0.0.0 (1.0.0.0)
Syntax
public byte NicB { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: Byte
Remarks

Note that the NIC supplement is three bits that are spread over different messages. If this is non-null then the message carries ONE of those bits. Each bit is set to the correct position (i.e. a NIC-A bit would show a value here of 4, NIC-B 2 and NIC-C 1) so something that was building the overall NIC value could OR together the value here with previous NIC bits to eventually arrive at the full NIC supplement.

Note also that these bits were previously assigned different meanings in their respective messages in older versions of the ADS-B transmission. Those older meanings are not represented in this class.

On TIS-B Fine Format messages this byte is not supplied, its position is used by the Icao/ModeA Flag.
