The ARINC CPCIC-A429/PXI Interface Card and AltaAPI Support Software Represent the Latest ARINC 32-bit FPGA Protocol Engine Technology. Encode and Decode almost Any ARINC-429 PHY Level Label/Word Signal. The First Card in the Industry to Offer Advanced Test Functions of Signal Generation and A/D Signal Capture.
Last updated July 2, 2017
Overview
  • 4-30 ARINC Channels: Up to 16 Shared RX/TX & 14 RX Channels. PMC on 3U or 6U cPCI Carrier. PXI Compatible.
  • PXI Compatible - Excellent NI LabVIEW & RT Support
  • **Signal Capture on Two RX Channels - Standard**
  • One MByte, 32-bit RAM per 16 Channel Bank
  • Up to 4 ARINC 717 RX and TX Channels
  • Avionics and RS-485 Discretes

Alta Data Technologies’ CPCIC-A429 interface module offer a variety of ARINC-419/429/575/573/717 channel configurations with software selectable RX/Tx channels, baud rates, bit encoding and word configurations (Start/Sync/Stop length, Parity, bits/word, MSB/LSB).
Encode or decode almost any ARINC-429 physical layer signal.

The CPCIC-A429 card is based on the industry’s most advanced 32-bit ARINC FPGA protocol engine, AltaCore™, and a feature-rich application programming interface, AltaAPI™, which is a multi-layer ANSI C and Windows .NET 2.0 (MSVS 2005 C++, C#, VB .NET) architecture. This hardware and software package provides increased system performance and flexibility while reducing integration time.

The CPCIC-A429 Transmit (TX) capability includes both simple and complete frequency control options for each channel. TX also includes Playback and Signal Generator operations. Dual Receive (RX) functions include independent simultaneous channel level buffering and multi channel level buffering. AltaCore is guaranteed ARINC-419/429/575/573/717 compliant and all cards are manufactured to the highest IPC-Level 3 standards and certified ISO 9001:2008 processes. Alta is committed to provide each customer with a risk free integration and will help with any level of your system development.
