Hardware
The P-708 is a two-channel ARINC 708
weather radar display databus PMC module
interface, supporting variable frame sizes
for test, simulation and embedded appli-
cations. GE Intelligent Platforms’ provides
integrated support for this module on PCI,
PCIe, CompactPCI, VME, VXI and native
PMC platforms.
Each P-708 supports two ARINC 708 channels
(2 Tx or 2 Rx or 1 Rx/1 Tx) simultaneously.
Each P-708 channel operates as an
independent transmitter or receiver with
programmable frame size and buffer
storage capacity. Specialized receive
features such as frame timetagging and
error detection/notification of short/long
frames, as well as specialized transmit
features such as sweep scheduling,
programmable frame gap duration,
and short/long frame and start/stop
sync error injection are included. With a
programmable number of bits per frame,
the P-708 is useful for a wide range of
1 MHz Manchester-encoded applications.
Both internal and external wrap BIT are
provided. The P-708 is provided with a
transition cable to two twin-ax cable jacks.
Software
An easy-to-use, high-level software API
(Application Programming Interface),
is included with support for Microsoft
Windows 7 (32 and 64bit), Windows Vista,
Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT,
VxWorks, Linux, and Integrity. The API is
also provided in C source code to facilitate
integration into your system.
