Simulation & Data Logging software
• Standard with IRIG-B Receiver (AM or DC/TTL) and
Generator (DC/TTL)
Connections
• Software selectable transformer or direct coupling
via relays
• 8 Bi-directional Avionics level discretes
Multi-function Operational Modes
• Simultaneous BC
Dual-function Operational Modes
• BM and 31 RTs, or BM and BC
Power (2 channels at 75% duty cycle)
• Will operate with USB power
• External +5V power input provided
On-board Shared RAM
• 2 Mbyte
Timing
• Independent 64-bit, 25ns message time-tagging per
channel
• Time can be programmed via the host or by a 1553
trigger
• All timers can be synchronized to 0 via the host
• Timers can independently use IRIG time
• IRIG-B receiver (AM or DC/TTL) and generator (DC/TTL)r
Bus Controller
• Programmable control over:
- Major and minor frame content and timing
- Inter-message gap times
- Response time-out and late response
• Modify messages, data or setup on the fly
• Insert aperiodic messages into a running BC list
• Multiple data buffers
• Conditional message sequencing based on real-time
message data or status
• Selectable interrupt generation and status messages on
full range of system conditions or all detected errors
• Synchronize BC operation to external time source
Block Diagram
Programmable full error detection/injection available
on BC and RT and full detection available on BM (on a
per word basis)
- Invalid word - Late response
- Bit count error - Early response
- High word - No response
- Low word - Incorrect RT address
- Inverted sync - Parity error
- Manchester
Bus Monitor
• Capture 100% fully loaded bus traffic with:
- Time-tagging - Error status
- Word status - Message status
• 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
Remote Terminal
• Multiple RT simulation (up to 31 RTs)
• Modify data, status words or setup while card is
running
• Programmable message content (linked message
buffers)
• Selectable interrupts upon multiple conditions
• RT Map Monitoring
Optional Configurations
• 1 or 2 Dual or Multi-function channels
• Optional conformal coating
• Optional Transformer or Direct coupling
• Contact factory for Custom requirements
