DDC Announces New Software Development Kits and IRIG-106 Chapter 10 Support for MIL-STD-1553 PC/104-Plus Card
21 February 2008 17:44
Data Device Corporation (DDC) introduces newly enhanced Software Development Kits (SDK) for MIL-STD-1553 PC/104-Plus and PCI-104 cards. The SDK allows users to develop source code to simulate, monitor, or troubleshoot 1553 data buses with support for the latest versions of operating systems including VxWorks® 6, Linux® 2.6, and Windows® 2000/XP. This SDK allows users to quickly integrate DDC's 1553 cards into their 'C' source code applications.
A common SDK exists across all operating systems allowing the programmer portability across different platforms. The easy-to-use high-level functions abstract all low-level hardware accesses and memory allocation such that specific hardware knowledge is not required.
The BU-65578C PC/104-Plus card provides up to four dual redundant MIL-STD-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 dramatically reduces PCI bus and host CPU utilization, while storing 1553 Monitor data in a convenient and portable IRIG-106 Chapter 10 file format.
"Storing data in the industry-standard IRIG-106 Chapter 10 file format allows DDC's cards to be used as a turnkey solution for digital flight data recorders," states Mike Hegarty, DDC's MIL-STD-1553 Marketing Manager.
Data Device Corporation (DDC) is recognized as a leading international supplier of high-reliability data interface products, motion control and solid state power controllers for military and industrial applications for over 40 years.
