ARINC 429 Hand Held Real Time Data Bus Analyzer Reader

DATAIR - 400 Hand Held ARINC 429 Databus Analyzer Monitor Reader

The DATAIR-400 Hand Held ARINC 429 Data Monitor is aimed at providing the user with an easy to use diagnostic tool. It allows the user to connect to an ARINC-429 data bus and instantly view the active Labels on the bus - without having to set any pre-conditions. The ARINC data word associated with a displayed Label may be viewed by simply positioning the cursor over the desired displayed Label and pressing the SELECT button. The display will then show, the ARINC word in binary or engineering unit format, the rate of occurrence on the bus in milliseconds, the SSM value and the Parity bit. 
In addition to this, the monitor will automatically adapt to and display the bus bit rate. 
Further filtering on the selected Label can be obtained by selection of the SDI field.

An Engineering Units Label Definition PC Software package  is also supplied that will allow the user to define how ARINC-429 data will be displayed for the selected Labels.
 
The definitions are down-loaded to the DATAIR-400 via an RS232 link and are held in non-volatile memory. The package supports Signed binary, Unsigned binary, 2's Compliment, BCD and Discrete data formats. 

The DATAIR-400 is supplied as a Hand Held unit which accommodates a 4 line by 16 character LCD, three button Menu User Interface, a microprocessor controlled ARINC-429 decoder and an integral battery compartment (takes 4x MN1500 (AA) cells). This attractively styled unit measures 195H x 40D x 99W (millimeters) and weighs approximately 700 grams. (with batteries fitted).

DATAIR - 400/TR Hand Held ARINC-429 Databus Analyzer and single label
Transmitter

The DATAIR-400/TR is aimed at providing the user with an easy to use first line diagnostic tool. 
In addition to having the same receiver features as the DATAIR-400, the DATAIR-400/TR allows the user to generate a test word to simulate a specific test.

The transmitter will allow the user to set up a single label transmission and and modify the transmitted data field (bits 9..32) in real time. The Label to be transmitted is selectable in Octal, as is the frequency and interval of the transmitted word. Single shot mode is also available. Edited binary data is displayable as a hexadecimal value in real time for those users that require this format.  For comprehensive information on this new instrument please feel free to download the user manual from the appropriate link below.
