MIL-STD-1553B Bus Tester Connects Host Via USB
Eletter ProductAvionics and military applications using MIL-STD-1553 demand the most reliable communications possible. For comprehensive 1553 testing, simulation, and bus analysis, Sealevel offers the TST1553USB module. The TST1553USB connects to the host computer via USB and is perfect for troubleshooting existing 1553 installations or assisting with new 1553 application development.
MuXSoft™, a user-friendly software tool for monitoring messages, frames and errors and analyzing the status of each 1553 unit on the bus, is supplied with the TST1553USB. MuXSoft provides triggers and filters for monitoring and displaying of recorded data. Recorded frames can also be exported as XML, CSV and other file formats for future use or for interacting with other programs.
MuxSim™ can manage and simulate all traffic on the bus. It can handle a large number of MIL-STD-1553 frames, which can be inserted by the user, recorded from the bus or imported from XML files. In order to facilitate the test, MuxSim™ can simulate 1553 RTs, thus enabling the user to test the full Interconnect Control Document (ICD) without having to physically connect all LRUs. The user can easily select which units are to be simulated and which units are real.
In addition to the TST1553USB, Sealevel offers a full line of MIL-STD-1553 IP cores and board level products. Download our MIL-STD-1553 IP Cores White Paper to learn the advantages of an FPGA solution over standard IC's.
