Alta Data Technologies’ XMC-MA4 interface module is a multi-channel, multi-protocol 1553, ARINC, RS-232-/422/485 XMCPMC card supported by the latest software technologies. Ideal for SBCs or carriers for VPX, VME and cPCI (Compact PCI/PCIe or PXI) – Commercial or Rugged/Conduction Cooled Systems. This hardware and software package provides increased system performance and reduces integration time. The First Card in the Industry to Offer Advanced Test Functions of Signal Generation and A/D Signal Capture.
The XMC-MA4’s BC capability includes variable message/label framing/subframing with transmission scheduling provides the most advanced control operations. ARINC TX has complete frequency control per channel. RT and ARINC RX, Monitor, Playback and Signal Generator functions also include industry leading functions to meet the most demanding requirements. In addition, there are 4 programmable RS-232/422/485 async serial channels.
AltaCore is guaranteed 1553B Notice II & IV and ARINC compliant and all cards are manufactured to the highest IPC-Level 3 standards and certified ISO 9001:2015 processes. Playback and Signal Generation are part of BC-TX operations. We are committed to a risk free integration and will be glad to help with any level of your system development.
Signal Capture circuitry is included on the first channel for cable troubleshooting and cybersecurity modeling. The example captures below are shown with our AltaView analyzer, or integrate captures in your application with AltaAPI SDK (included):
