Alta Data Technologies Introduces ARINC Ethernet Appliance for Advanced Signal Testing


Alta Data Technologies (Alta) announces the release of an innovative network appliance that provides advanced ARINC (News - Alert)-429 signal parametrics testing: eNet-A429P. The eNet-A429P combines variable voltage control with digital signal generator on transmission channels with A/D signal capture on receive channels for advanced ARINC-420 parametrics signal testing. Also included is the portable and abstracted AltaAPI™ development software kit, native National Instrument's LabVIEW™ support and optional AltaView™ windows analyzer capabilities to simplify customer's software integration.

Harry Wild, VP of Sales, states, "Our new eNet-A429P product represents true innovation and flexibility for testing of ARINC-429 avionics communications. Three transmit channels have +/- 3V to +/-12V variable voltage control along with a digital signal generator to construct virtually any test signal for ARINC-429 validation testing. Two of the receive channels have a one microsecond, 8-bit A/D, 2048 sample signal capture to auto measure receive signals And being a small, low cost Ethernet appliance, the product can be easily integrated into just about any platform."



Jake Haddock, Alta CTO, adds, "We designed our AltaCore™ protocol engine with a real-time, thin-sever UDP (News - Alert) front-end, and then added an auto-bridging mode for sniffing ARINC interfaces. The customer has the option to control the eNet-A429P like a traditional interface card and simultaneously have ARINC label packets auto transmitted on the LAN so that any computer/OS can monitor data. Our software development packages coupled with these new signal control features allow the customer to quickly integrate advanced ARINC signal validation into avionics test systems."
