STD 7000 Aeroflex ARINC Bus Controller

The Cobham / Aeroflex / IFR Standard Digital Interface System is comprised of the STD-7000 Bus controller and Opterator Terminal (CRT Display, CRT Interface and Numeric Keypad).

These components make up a standard hardware configuration common to several different ARINC compatible avionics test systems. The primary function of the configuration is to generate and receive ARINC 429/453 buses and display the contents of those buses on a CRT, thereby permitting an operator to verify the integrity of the system under test. A prime design goal of the SDIS is to provide a clear and simple format for monitoring and controlling ARINC bus activity from and to the unit under test, while allowing the operator to interpret and manipulate data with a minimum of effort.

Until programmed for a specific application and implemented within a test system thru an appropriate interface, the capabilities of the SDIS are limited to normal power-up functions. This manual therefore describes the capabilities of the SDIS on a general level only, as they exist within any SRINC 700 series test system. Detailed operation of the system, then programmed for specific applications, are described within separate system operation manuals.
