HP IR FORMAT BELOW

Taken from ioguide.doc, ftp from ftp hpcvbbs.cv.hp.com, dir pub

The IR port allows half-duplex communication between systems at 2400 baud using pulses of infrared light instead of wires. Full-duplex is not used due to the need to suppress reflections. The format for IR transmission is similar to serial transmission except that a pulse of infrared light of 52 Ns duration (nominal) is used to transmit a zero-bit. The absence of a pulse indicates a one-bit or idle condition. Note that if the pulses are stretched out to fill a bit time this becomes very similar to the serial signal.
