OmniBus II PXIe Avionics Interface
PXIe-based Test Setup to Multiple Avionics Databuses
The OmniBus II PXI Express (PXIe) card is designed for use in multi-slot PXIe and CompactPCI Express test systems. It enables these systems to interface with multiple avionics databuses for testing, validating and simulating commercial and military avionics equipment and systems. The card is highly configurable and includes two internal Cores that can be populated with a variety of databus protocols and discrete I/O modules.
The OmniBus II PXIe is the next-generation of Ballard’s popular OmniBus product with faster I/O and processing capabilities. With the newest advanced set of MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 modules, users can verify wave form compatibilities, test functions of bus shorts and opens, and—when combined with the CoPilot® software—perform lab, production and flight test verification and simulation right out of the box.
- Compatible with both PXIe and CompactPCI Express (cPCIe) test systems
- PXI triggers/syncs/clocks
- Advanced timing: IRIG, 10 MHz, and PPS
- Multiple protocols
