2-CH MIL-STD-1553A/B Bus Simulator Module
1553 WA73A-455
The WA73A-455 MIL-STD-1553A/B Bus Simulator Module allows a system controller in an ATE system to communicate with and test devices that conform to the MIL-STD1553A/B data bus used in military aircraft and communications systems. Each of the WA73A-455's two channels operate as two separate and independent channels with their own VXIbus logical address, interrupts, and complete set of controls and indicators. As a result, each channel of the WA73A-455 is truly an independent instrument, and, therefore, individually programmable.
