Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 ISO 962 is a standard that specifies the implementation of the 7-bit coded character set and its 7-bit and 8-bit extensions on a 9-track 12.7 mm (0.5 in) magnetic tape. The 7-bit coded character set is known as ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) and is widely used for character encoding in computers and communication systems. The 7-bit extension is an enhancement to the ASCII character set that adds additional control characters and special characters. The 8-bit extension is another enhancement to the ASCII character set that allows for the representation of additional characters beyond the 7-bit range. The use of a 9-track 12.7 mm magnetic tape allows for the storage and transfer of large amounts of data in a compact and portable format.
2 The standard specifies the format and structure of the data on the magnetic tape, including the positioning of records and the encoding scheme used for character representation. ISO 962 is important for ensuring the compatibility and interoperability of systems that use the 7-bit coded character set and its extensions on magnetic tape. The standard helps to improve data exchange and information processing efficiency by providing a uniform and standardized method for storing and transmitting data on magnetic tape. ISO 962 is one of many standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to promote compatibility and standardization in various fields, including information technology and communication systems.
