Easy-To-Use
The USB 1553 family of pocket-sized USB adapters enable computers to communicate with, simulate, test, and monitor 1553 equipment and systems. These rugged USB 2.0 peripherals feature extensive MIL-STD-1553
functionality and are compatible with virtually all modern PC laptop, desktop, tablet, and netbook computers. They support maximum data throughput on all 1553 channels and have a large 32 MB built-in memory. All
power necessary for operation is provided via the single USB port. Plug and Play and Hot Swap features make it easy to install and move between computers.
Full-Featured and Powerful
A variety of models are available with different channel counts and capabilities. Depending on the model, each 1553 channel may be either single-function, multi-function, or bus monitor only. Single-function channels can
be configured in software as either a Bus Controller (BC), a Bus Monitor (BM), or up to 32 Remote Terminals (RTs). Multi-function channels have protocol error injection capability and can simultaneously be a BC, BM, and
up to 32 RTs. All versions include eight avionics level input/output discretes and IRIG time synchronization/generation. Two LEDs indicate power and bus traffic by default, or can be controlled by your software.
You can develop your own software applications with the included BTIDriver API. Or, use Ballard's optional CoPilot software, which provides powerful and easy-to-use interactive tools
for databus test, analysis, and simulation. See the "Software" tab for more information.
