APPENDIX A: TWELFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TELEMETERING STANDARDS COORDINATION COMMITTEE

Abstract

The Telemetering Standards Coordination Committee (TSCC) was formed in 1960 and has been in continuous operation since that time. It is now sponsored by the ISA and the ITC and its membership is drawn from a wide cross-section of the telemetering community. Thus the views of Government, industry, user and manufacturer are brought out when any standard is reviewed by the committee. In accordance with its charter the TSCC is charged with the following tasks: establishing what standards, methods, and procedures are in existence and published; examining the technical adequacy of existing and proposed documents; exploring the need for new standards, methods, and procedures and promulgating the derivation of new documents. The TSCC does not issue standards, but rather acts as a review, coordinating, and fact-finding body, endorsing specific standards, methods, and procedures, and making recommendations to the appropriate document originating groups, to telemetry users and manufacturers, and the Government agencies. For further information on the origination of the TSCC and its original Charter and Bylaws, please see the 1962 Proceedings of the National Telemetering Conference. An annual report has been published each year since that time. Years 1963 through 1967 may be found in the NTC Proceedings of that year and, starting 1968 and all following years, may be found in the Proceedings of the International Telemetering Conference.
