Hardware

The RP-708 is a two-channel ARINC 708 weather radar display data bus PMC module interface, supporting variable frame sizes for embedded applications, simulation and test. GE Intelligent Platforms’ provides integrated support for this module on PCI, PCIe, CompactPCI, VME, VXI and native PMC platforms.

Each RP-708 channel can be configured as two transmit channels, two receive channels, or one transmit channel and one receive channel simultaneously.

RP-708 channel features include programmable frame size and buffer storage capacity. Specialized receive features such as frame time-tagging and error detection of short/long frames are supported, as well as specialized transmit features such as programmable frame gap duration, multiple sweep buffering, sweep

scheduling, and error injection including short/long frame size and start/stop sync inversion. With a programmable frame size, the RP-708 is useful for a wide range of 1 MHz Manchester-encoded applications.

The standard RP-708 configuration has a front bezel connector with a transition cable to two twin-ax cable jacks. A configuration with only the P14 I/O is also available.

Software

An easy-to-use, high-level software API (Application Programming Interface), is included with support for Microsoft 32-bit/64-bit Windows 7, Vista and XP, VxWorks, Linux, and Integrity. The API is also provided in C source code with accompanying Microsoft Projects to facilitate seamless integration into modern application environments. Additional support is included for LabVIEW and LabVIEW Real-Time development.
