Description
Bus Controller
• Programmable control over:
– Major and minor frame content and timing
– Intermessage gap times
– Response time-out and late response
• Modify messages, data or setup while card is running
• Multiple data buffers
• Insert aperiodic messages into a running BC list
• “Oneshot“ mode for simplified BC operation
• Conditional message sequencing based on real-time
message data or status
• Selectable interrupt generation and status messages
– Full range of system conditions
– All detected errors
• Full error detection
– Invalid word – Late response
– Bit count error – Early response
– High word – No response
– Low word – Incorrect RT address
– Inverted sync – Parity error
– Manchester
• Extensive programmable error injections (on a per
word basis)
• Synchronize BC operation to external time source
• 64-bit nanosecond resolution time tagging on BC,
RT and BM
• Virtually unlimited time stamping
Remote Terminal
• Multiple RT simulation (up to 31 RTs)
• Programmable message content (linked
message buffers)
• Modify data, status words or setup while card
is running
• Programmable error injection (on a per word basis)
• Interrupts can be generated on a per message basis
upon End of Message and error conditions
Bus Monitor
• Capture 100% fully loaded bus traffic with:
– Time-tagging – Error status
– Word status – Message status
– RT response time
• Interrupts can be selected by RT / SA / WC
• Extensive filtering and triggering options
– By individual RT/subaddress
– Transmit, receive or broadcast mode codes
– Internal or external triggering
– Trigger output on user specified data
• Real-time bus playback with RT edit mode
