The R15-EC card provides the highest level of performance and density for MIL-STD1553A/B in an ExpressCard form factor. The R15-EC card provides 1 or 2 channels integrated with powerful API software that provides instant access to all 1553 databus functionality and data.

Features include IRIG-B Receiver (AM or DC/ TTL), Generator (DC/TTL), real-time bus playback (with ability to edit out RTs), aperiodic message insertion, error injection/detection, conditional BC branching, 64-bit nanosecond message time-tagging, and “Oneshot” BC operation. The Bus Monitor mode provides 100% bus monitoring of a fully loaded 1553 bus.

Multi-function Interface

One or two multi-function 1553 interfaces operate simultaneously as a BC, up to 31 RTs and as a BM. Each can completely emulate a dual-redundant 1553 channel internally.

Dual-function Interface

Dual-function R15-USB interfaces have all the features and functionality of the multifunction versions, with either Bus Monitor and Bus Controller, or Bus monitor and up to 31 Remote terminals.

Software

Included with the R15-EC card is GE Intelligent Platforms’ easy-to-use, flexible, high level API. Source code and Windows 7, Vista, XP, NT and Linux support is provided. LabVIEW drivers and BusTools/1553, GE’s GUI bus analysis and simulation solution for 1553, are optionally available.

GE’s high performance and intuitive software solutions provide complete and simplified access to MIL-STD-1553 functionality for development , integration, test , embedded and maintenance applications.

QNX, LynxOS, Integrity available upon request.
