The BU-65553 is a complete MIL-STD-1553 interface for portable test and monitoring equipment, such as laptop computers. The BU-65553 1553 test card provides a Type II PC-card (PCMCIA) form factor based on DDC's field-proven and industry-standard Enhanced Mini-ACE. The advanced bus controller architecture gives the 1553 test card superior flexibility and autonomy. Resulting advantages include improving message scheduling control; minimizing host overhead for asynchronous message insertion; facilitating bulk data transfers and double buffering, message retry and bus switching strategies, and data logging and fault reporting.
The 1553 test card's remote terminal architecture meets all common MIL-STD-1553 protocols. RT data buffering and interrupt options offer robust support for synchronous and asynchronous messaging while ensuring data sample consistency and supporting bulk data transfers. The BU-65553 MIL-STD-1553 card features a mating connector with a metal backshell and jackscrews for superior durability.
Free BU-65553 software supports all modes of operation, including DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 9x/NT/2000 and Linux device drivers (including source code). An optional dataMARSsoftware package for systems integration and simulation is also available. This package incorporates real time data acquisition and display, high-level graphical interfaces, triggering capabilities, unit conversion and mathematical manipulation, dynamic modeling, and report generation.
APPLICATIONS
