The PC1553-3x is a family of dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 interface boards for IBM-PC/AT (ISA) compatible computers. This family of boards provides a range of capabilities from basic single terminal emulation to multi-terminal simulation and error injection. Models can be upgraded in the future to meet changing requirements. The models and features listed below are also available in our PCI (
LP1553-3), CompactPCI (
LC1553-3), PCMCIA (
CM1553-3), and USB (
BUSBox) family of products.
The PC1553-3x is completely software compatible with the popular PC1553-2. The powerful features, upgrade paths and PC1553-2 compatibility make the PC1553-3 an ideal solution for hardware and system development, testing and simulation.
The easiest way to use the card is with
CoPilot 1553, a powerful graphical program available as an optional package. CoPilot 1553 supports and greatly simplifies tasks associated with defining and scheduling bus controller commands, defining BC and RT data values, and capturing and analyzing data. The CoPilot 1553 system, with CoPilot 1553 and a PC1553-3 board is an exceptional value.
Alternatively, software developers can use the bundled Application Program Interface (API) that enables quick and easy development of custom applications. Driver software is included for Windows® 95/98/NT/Me/2000.
