Additional Information:

Alta Data Technologies’ PCIC-MA4 interface module is a multi-channel, multi-protocol 1553 and ARINC PCIC card supported by the latest software technologies for PCI systems. The PCIC cards (PMC PCI 32 Carrier) are based on the industry’s most advanced 32-bit 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, Linux, RTOSes) architecture.  This hardware and software package provides increased system performance and reduces integration time.

The PCIC-1553’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

AltaCore-1553 is guaranteed 1553B Notice II & IV compliant and all cards are manufactured to the highest IPC-Class 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. Alta is committed to a risk free integration and will be glad to help with any level of your system development.
