MIL-STD Software Development Kit

Data Device Corp. (Bohemia, NY) has introduced software development kits (SDKs) for MIL-STD-1553 PC/104-Plus and PCI-104 cards, enabling users to develop source code to simulate, monitor, or troubleshoot 1553 data buses with support for operating systems such as VxWorks® 6, Linux® 2.6, and Windows® 2000/XP. The SDK allows users to integrate 1553 cards into their "C" source code applications.

The BU-65578C PC/104-Plus card provides up to four dual redundant MILSTD- 1553 channels, five user-programmable digital discrete I/Os, selectable external or internal time-tag clock, and an IRIG-B time synchronization input. The card has an intelligent hardware offload engine that reduces PCI bus and host CPU utilization, while storing 1553 Monitor data in a portable IRIG-106 Chapter 10 file format.
