The AIT family of MIL-STD-1553 products provide solutions for Test Instrumentation, Protocol Analysis, and Rugged/Embedded applications.
MIL-STD-1553 Instrumentation
The AIT MIL-STD-1553 hardware modules for PXI, PCI, PCI Express, VME, and VXI provide advanced features and functionality to support even the most demanding test and simulation applications. Key features include:
- Simultaneous Simulation of BC, BM, and up to 31 RT's
- Up to 10 trigger I/O lines available for synchronization to external equipment
- IRIG-B Input & Output for external time synchronization
- Software Programmable coupling modes (Direct, Transformer, Simulated Stub,...)
- Software Programmable output bus signal voltage levels
- Full Error Injection & Detection
All of the MIL-STD-1553 instruments are supported by the AIT MIL-STD-1553 SDK which provides C, C++, C#, VB.NET, and LabVIEW interfaces and drivers for Windows, Linux, LabVIEW Real Time, and other operating systems.
MIL-STD-1553 Analyzers
AIT provides complete MIL-STD-1553 Protocol Analyzer solutions with the Flight Simulyzer application. The Flight Simulyzer is an intuitive and easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) application that allows users to capture and analyzer MIL-STD-1553 bus data and to operate the BC and RT simulation features of the MIL-STD-1553 modules.
Flight Simulyzer can be used in conjunction with the AIT MIL-STD-1553 USB module to provide a portable analyzer solution or with the AIT PCI, PCI Express, and PXI modules to provide desktop PC analyzer solutions.
Rugged/Embedded
AIT's MIL-STD-1553 PMC, XMC, and PC/104+ modules are rugged, reliable, full featured interface modules designed to provide dependable MIL-STD-1553 Interfaces in the harshest environments. The embedded interface modules are provided with conduction cooled, extended temperature, and conformal coating options. Additionally, they are supported with RTOS (VxWorks and others) device drivers and API's.
