CoPilot®- Avionics Test & Simulation Software

CoPilot Databus Test, Simulation & Analysis Software

Ballard CoPilot® is an intuitive, graphical software program that allows you to easily monitor, record, replay, analyse, and simulate avionics bus data. With CoPilot you can interact directly with data on multiple buses using Ballard avionics interface hardware or work with previously recorded data. This advanced program features powerful tools for development, testing, troubleshooting and maintenance of avionics equipment and systems.

CoPilot is the perfect complement to Astronics’ comprehensive line of hardware interface products for avionics databus protocols including MIL-STD-1553, EBR 1553, ARINC 429, ARINC 664, ARINC 708, ARINC 717 and others.

CoPilot is the ready solution. It is a Windows program that allows you to interact with and generate avionics bus data, without writing your own software. What CoPilot does for you, is to make it simpler to interact with avionics busses, alleviate the need to write test software, and make it easier for you to get your job done.

 

CoPilot combines powerful performance with organisation and visualisation features that are intuitive and easy to use.

  • Intuitive Organisation and Navigation
  • Triggering Control
  • Visual Protocol Analysis
  • Quick Start
  • Multiple Protocol Support Including ARINC 717 and EBR 1553

CoPilot is licensed to a specific Ballard hardware device. When purchasing CoPilot, a ‘key’ is programmed into the hardware itself that allows CoPilot to interact with that device. Each Ballard hardware device you want to run with CoPilot requires its own purchased license key.

The CoPilot license allows you to install CoPilot software on as many computers as you need for pre-run setup, scripting, or post analysis. When you need to access the live databus, just connect any of these computers to hardware containing a purchased license key.

CoPilot is the most advanced and comprehensive databus analysis and simulation software available today. It includes a wide variety of powerful and beneficial features that make it easier to get your job done. Here are some examples:

  • Auto Discovery of Hardware and Bus Activity
  • Simultaneous Operation of Multiple Protocols
  • Flexible Data Representation
  • View and Manipulate Data in Engineering Units
  • Automated Test Environment (ATE)
  • Powerful Scripting Environment
  • Comprehensive Program Security
  • Sophisticated Graphical Displays
  • Hardware and Software Playback
  • Error Injection
  • Learn and Work with Simulated Hardware
  • And So Much More!
