In addition to the 1553/429 device, DDC offers 1553-only and 429-only versions. An extension to DDC’s rugged version that was released in 2006, the BU-65591U is ideal for lab applications that require an interface to MIL-STD-1553 and/or ARINC 429 data buses, while the BU-65590U provides the same functionality in a more rugged package that is ideal for flight line use and embedded systems.

Bohemia, New York (May 2008) Data Device Corporation (DDC) introduces an updated version of its dataSIMS software package for use with the BU-65590/91U MIL-STD-1553/ARINC429 USB Devices for avionics bus monitoring and post-analysis. “The pairing of the BU-65590/91U and dataSIMS Software Analysis suite creates a powerful combination for portable and lab avionics bus analysis and flight line recording”, states Mike Hegarty, DDC’s MIL-STD-1553 Marketing Manager.

Bohemia, New York (March - 2008) — Data Device Corporation (DDC), a leading international supplier of high-reliability data interface products for military and commercial aerospace applications, announces the release of the new SB-3624x Synchro Angle Position Indicator “API” half-size PCI card. The card features six input channels with an on-board reference oscillator and optional transformer isolation all on a single half-size PCI card. “What makes this card valuable to our customers is its ideal compatibility with new desktop computers, that often use 3.3v PCI bus and lack bay dimensions for full-size cards“, stated DDC’s Senior Product Marketing Specialist, Roger Tomassi. The SB-3624x offers accuracies to 1 arc minute with 1 LSB repeatability, and incorporates programmable features such as resolution and bandwidth, allowing users to custom configure via software for the best dynamic responses. The card auto configures for universal signaling of 5v or 3.3v, while a built-in test output monitors for loss of signal, loss of reference frequency, or loss of tracking.
