Our own Products
We are proud to say, that some Projects have resulted into the Development of some special Products for which we have decided to get them launched as our own Products. Here they are :)
RAQ-1553 TCS MIL-STD-1553 Test- & Command Station
The RAQ-1553 TCS is a 19” rackmount, Ethernet-controlled MIL-STD1553 Test & Command System with one (1) or two (2) FULLY INTEGRATED, dual-redundant MIL-STD1553 Databus(ses), capable to interact with real MIL-STD-1553 LRUs and to monitor/analyze the occurring MIL-STD1553 Traffic on all Channels. The Architecture of the RAQ-1553 TCS is based on the - both highly successful & highly reliable ENET2-1553 - MIL-STD1553 Hardware made by ALTA Data Technology (www.altadt.com), a Top-Tier Manufacturer of Avionic Databus Technology since 2007 out of Rio Rancho, New Mexico, USA.
Any PC with an Ethernet-Interface and the Alta API/Driver installed can control/operate the RAQ-1553 TCS, no matter which OS you are running! We are supporting Windows/LabVIEW, Linux, RTX, VxWorks, Solaris, LynxOS, Integrity. (Note: if you want to use the graphical Analyzer-Software AltaVIEW, a Windows-PC is mandatory!)
Not only does the RAQ-1553 TCS allow connections for up to two real MIL-STD-1553 LRUs per Channel through the integrated Transformer-coupled 1553 Stubs to its internal 1553 Databus Structure, the RAQ-1553 TCS also allows to connect its internal Channels to external 1553-Busses easily! For additional and more precise Analysis Purposes, the RAQ-1553 TCS also features dedicated BNC-Ports to connect your Oscilloscope directly to all primary and secondary 1553-Busses.
The RAQ-1553 TCS further offers multiple auxiliary I/Os such as bi-directional, single-ended Discrete-Lines, differential Discrete-Lines as well as multiple Trigger I/O and the Ability to synchronize the Unit to an external Clock (IRIG B) or with/to an external Clock Pulse.
In case the Application requires to operate as a solely passive Device capable to monitor/record 1553-Data only and to guarantee that no Data will be transmitted onto the 1553-Databus, the RAQ-1553 TCS can physically deactivate its internal 1553-Transmitters by using its Front-Panel “TX INHIBIT” Key-Switch.
