MIL-STD-1553B

The AT-PCI-1553-3 is the latest generation of high performance and flexibility for MIL-STD-1553B functionality. The AT-PCI-1553-3 offers full-function test, simulation, monitoring, and data bus analyzer functions for MIL-STD-1553B applications. Standard features include Programmable coupling and bus termination, extensive BC frame structures, error detection, RT Status Bit and Mode Code responses, along with advanced BC functionality. Polling and interrupt generation is also provided.
The advanced BC architecture provides a high degree of flexibility and autonomy by providing Major and Minor frame schedule control, streaming data interface, asynchronous message insertion, bulk data transfers, double buffering, message retry, bus switching strategies, and data logging, and fault reporting.
The RT architecture provides flexibility in meeting all common MIL-STD-1553 protocols while emulating up to 31 RT addresses on 1553 channel. The card includes a message monitor mode where the MT will monitor all 1553 communications on the bus, including the 1553 channel’s assigned RT addresses.
The Bus Monitor mode provides complete error detection on100% fully loaded buses, advanced error detection to isolate faults at a particular word with in a 1553 message.

Transformer and Direct Coupling

The card can be configured to work either in the transformer- coupled mode or in the direct-coupled mode. Jumpers are provided on the card to select the mode. It is configured to work in the transformer-coupled mode by default.

SOFTWARE

The AT-PCI-1553-3 software includes Drivers and APIs. The card comes with a powerful set of library functions to access the entire MIL-STD-1553B functionality. Source code is provided for samples, and detailed documentation. The drivers are designed in a modular fashion consisting of component functions & application functions. The user’s test program can be developed with few calls to the driver, by using the set of Application functions provided. Driver and high-level API libraries for Windows 7 is available.
