PCI-1553
MIL-STD-1553 PCI Interface Card
The PCI-1553 Interface Card and AltaAPI Support Software Represent the Latest MIL-STD-1553 32-bit FPGA Protocol Engine Technology. The PCI-1553 Passes SAE AS4111/4112 Protocol Tests and is the Only Commercial Off the Shelf Card That Supports for Full Protocol Testing AND Signal Capture as Standard Product.
Alta Data Technologies’ PCI-1553 and PCIC-1553 (PMC on PCI carrier) interface modules are multi-channel (1-4) 1553 cards supported by the latest software technologies. These PCI cards are based on the industry’s most advanced 32-bit 1553 FPGA protocol engine, AltaCore™, and by a feature-rich application programming interface, AltaAPI™, which is a multi-layer ANSI C and Windows .NET 2.0 (MSVS 2005 C++, C#, VB .NET) architecture. This hardware and software package provides increased system performance and reduces integration time.
The PCI-1553’s BC capability, including variable message framing/subframing with transmission scheduling provides the most advanced BC control operations. RT, Monitor, Playback and Signal Generator functions also include industry leading functions to meet the most demanding requirements.
AltaCore is guaranteed 1553B Notice II & IV compliant and all cards are manufactured to the highest IPC-Level 3 standards and certified ISO-9001 processes. Cards are available in dual-function (BC/Mon or multi-RT/Monitor) or full-function (BC, mRT and Mon) configurations. Playback and Signal Generation are part of BC operations and Waveform Capture is for Monitor only operation. We are committed to a risk free integration and will be glad to help with any level of your system development.
