Alta Data Technologies PC104P-MA4 interface card for PC/104-Plus systems

Alta Data Technologies announces the release of the PC104P-MA4 interface card for PC/104-Plus systems. The product combines MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC interface channels on a single card, providing a small footprint and low power for PC/104-based systems. The card can have one or two 1553 channels (dual or full function BC, mRT and BM modes) and eight ARINC-429 channels (four RX/TX and four RX channels).

The card’s signal capture and signal generation capabilities provide good data controls and an advanced test capability. It is claimed that the FPGA protocol engine and software architecture allow Alta to implement and deliver the product with more features than other legacy products.

The application programming interface (AltaAPI) provides a common, abstracted and layered development environment that is portable across the entire product line. Users can be up and running in a short time using any of the 100+ example program templates. The device can be combined with MIL-STD-1553 support, real-time ethernet 1553 and ARINC converter products (ENET2-1553 and ENET-A429).
