September 14, 2017 - Abaco Systems introduced the BT3-USB-MON Bus Monitor that is designed to make the monitoring and analysis of MIL-STD-1553 signals easier. It is designed to help users easily visualize and record 1553 bus traffic for development, testing, trouble-shooting and debugging.
The BT3-USB-MON will receive its first public showing at AUTOTESTCON (Schaumburg, Illinois: September 11-14) on the booth (303) of Abaco avionics partner TEVET.
The BT3-USB-MON is a monitor-only device that combines three tools into one product: 1553 visualization and recording software; 1553 monitoring hardware; and scope outputs for electrical analysis – providing a complete, integrated solution. Additionally, the BT3-USB-MON does not have any transmit or receive functionality, making it safe for secure bus monitoring.
The BT3-USB-MON’s integrated differential-to-single-ended 10:1 scope provides output for each bus, together with programmable on-board triggers, allowing data and waveform capture of specific bus events.
The BT3-USB-MON’s functionality includes the ability to capture 100% fully loaded bus traffic with IRIG synchronized time-tagging, error status, word status and message status. Extensive filtering and triggering options include by individual RT/sub-address; transmit, receive or broadcast mode codes; internal or external triggering; and trigger output on user-specified data.
