Firmware Guide
The MISRC uses an basic or dumb design, with hardware control oriented configuration, i.e the only thing firmware/software does is just takes a 32-bit raw stream of digital data that the FX3 USB 3.0 board neatly bundles into a single interleaved stream and dumps it to file on a host system, so the scope of complexity is very small as we are not doing much more then accepting the data and saving it to disk.
