There are limits, procedures and setups shown. One very interesting thing is that this one document gives you a good look inside many commercial standards. Now, this isn't a substitute for buying your own full copy of a standard, but it sure is a good preview. > >The document is a 4.2 MB Adobe pdf file, and is a US DoD public domain document.
