USB-MA4


Overview

USB 3.0 SuperSpeed 1553 & ARINC Appliance

The USB-MA4 from Alta Data is the industry’s first USB 3.0 SuperSpeed multi-channel MIL-STD-1553 and/or ARINC-429 appliance.
 
  • 1-2 1553 Dual Redundant Channels and/or 8 ARINC-429 Channels (4 RX/TX and 4 RX)
  • Supports ARINC-717 (shared with 429 channels)

USB 3.0 SuperSpeed allows customers to realise full bandwidth applications where older USB 2.0 interfaces could not keep up.  It offers dual (BC/BM or mRT/BM) or full function (BC/mRT/BM) 1553 channels with O-scope signal capture on the first 1553 channel or first 2 ARINC channels, giving customers amazing performance and capability. 

Alta’s advanced SDK, AltaAPI, makes application integration easy (NI LabVIEW/Windows included).  Optional AltaView Windows analyzer provides the most advanced, intuitive GUI interface on the market. 

USB-MA4 provides native USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (look for SS Trident Logo) and is recommended for ALL applications.  Other Windows applications may affect throughput performance, and USB 2.0 and hubs will have a dramatic performance loss and may result in dropped data packets. 

We recommend TBOLT, ENETs or Interface Cards for moderate to fast bus applications.
