MIL-STD-1553 PCI Databus Interface

The LP1553-3x is a family of dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 interface boards for PCI computers. This family of MIL-STD-1553 PCI products 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 powerful features and upgrade paths make this PCI board an ideal solution for hardware and system development, testing and simulation. These models and features are also available in our ISA (PC1553-3), compactPCI (LC1553-3), PCMCIA (CM1553-3) and USB (BUSBox)™ family of products.

The easiest way to use the card is with CoPilot 1553™, a powerful databus analyzer 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 Ballard Technology's MIL-STD-1553 PCI 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/Me/2000 and Windows NT®. Linux drivers are available.
