Alta Data Technologies’ PCCD-1553 & ECD54-1553 interface modules are a multi-channel (1-2) 1553 card supported by the latest software technologies. The cards are based on the industry’s most advanced 32-bit 1553 FPGA protocol engine, AltaCore™, and by 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 reduces integration time.
Windows and Linux 32 and 64-bit Support! The Alta product is not EOL!
The PCCD/ECD54-1553’s BC capability, including variable message framing/subframing with transmission scheduling provides the most advanced BC control operations. RT, Monitor, Playback and Signal Generator functions also include industry leading functions to meet the most demanding requirements.
AltaCore is guaranteed 1553B Notice II & IV compliant and all cards are manufactured to the highest IPC-Level 3 standards and ISO 9001: 2008 processes. Cards are available in dual-function (BC/Mon or multi-RT/Monitor) or full-function (BC, mRT and Mon) configurations. Playback and Signal Generation are part of BC operations and Waveform Capture is for Monitor only operation. We are committed to a risk free integration and will be glad to help with any level of your system development.
Contact factory for cable options. 1553 Jack and DB-15 Aux Cables are Optional.
