| The differential 1-Mbs MIL-STD 1553 serial bus is widely used today in a broad range of aerospace/defense systems including aircraft avionics equipment, space-based systems, as well as many ground-based military vehicles.  Previously, capturing and measuring the electrical characteristics of MIL-STD 1553 signals has been a difficult and tedious process using a conventional analog or digital oscilloscope because triggering and decoding the signals was a slow manual process prone to errors.  Now with the N5469A application package, it is possible to have integrated MIL-STD 1553 serial bus triggering, hardware-based decoding, and eye-diagram mask testing to dramatically speed up the debug and characterization of the electrical/physical layer of MIL-STD 1553 serial buses  This option works with Agilent InfiniiVision 4-channel DSOs, or 4+16-channel MSOs only    Hardware-based decoding of Command/Status and Data Words helps find errors quicker.  Trigger on specific Command/Status Words, Data Words, and error conditions.  Perform hardware-based pass/fail MIL-STD 1553 mask testing to test the analog quality of your network.  Capture more consecutive decoded 1553 Words using Segmented Memory Acquisition.  Automatically perform parametric measurements with statistics to compare against published MIL-STD 1553 electrical specifications.  Make physical layer measurements in the field with the only oscilloscope for MIL-STD 1553 applications with optional battery operation.  |
