stamping)
– Adv. interrupts and triggers
• Architecture
– IRIG-B Rec (AM or DC/TTL) optional,
Gen (DC/TTL) standard
– Two bi-directional discretes (open drain)
The R15-EC card provides the highest level
of performance and density for MIL-STD-
1553A/B in an ExpressCard form factor.
The R15-EC card provides 1 or 2 channels
integrated with powerful API software that
provides instant access to all 1553 databus
functionality and data.
Features include IRIG-B Receiver (AM or DC/
TTL), Generator (DC/TTL), real-time bus play-
back (with ability to edit out RTs), aperiodic
message insertion, error injection/detection,
conditional BC branching, 64-bit nanosec-
ond message time-tagging, and “Oneshot”
BC operation. The Bus Monitor mode pro-
vides 100% bus monitoring of a fully loaded
1553 bus.
Multi-function Interface
One or two multi-function 1553 interfaces
operate simultaneously as a BC, up to 31 RTs
and as a BM. Each can completely emulate a
dual-redundant 1553 channel internally.
Dual-function Interface
Dual-function R15-USB interfaces have all
the features and functionality of the multi-
function versions, with either Bus Monitor
and Bus Controller, or Bus monitor and up
to 31 Remote terminals.
Software
Included with the R15-EC card is GE Intel-
ligent Platforms’ easy-to-use, flexible, high
level API. Source code and Windows 7,
Vista, XP, NT and Linux support is provided.
LabVIEW drivers and BusTools/1553, GE’s
GUI bus analysis and simulation solution for
1553, are optionally available.
GE’s high performance and intuitive soft-
ware solutions provide complete and
simplified access to MIL-STD-1553 func-
tionality for development , integration, test ,
embedded and maintenance applications.
QNX, LynxOS, Integrity available upon request.
