BE-64 Talon Instruments Bus Emulator/Word Generator

The EADS / Talon Instruments BE-64 Bus Emulator/Word Generator is a C size VXI card which houses the digital resource required in digital test and troubleshooting applications. The word generator mode of the Model BE-64 incorporates the following features: 64 I/O channels x 32K bits/channel, 25 Mhz data rates, Tristate output control 32 I/O channels x 64K bits/channel, 50 Mhz data rates. The 32K memories are software allocated into tables. Up to 32K tables may be defined. Table length is programmed from 1 word to 32K words. Each table may be looped from 1 to 64K times, or run in continuous mode. Up to 16 tables can be hardware linked together, generating zero dead time between tables. Continuous operation of an "Idle" table which can run while downloading new data. Each table can be input or output.

As a logic recorder, the BE-64 can be programmed to record up to 64 channels by 32K/channel. For test applications where test vectors are available, the Model BE-64 can be programmed to transmit or receive 64 channels by 32K bits per channel at frequencies to 25 Mhz. Bus structured interfaces are simulated exactly like the bus structured interface of a microprocessor. The architecture of the BE-64 has enabled EADS / Talon customers to simulate well over 1000 different digital interfaces. These interfaces range from a serial T2 communication interface to a high speed VME bus structured interface. Talon offers "set up" configurations for the following bus structured interfaces: VME bus, VXI bus, Multibus, AT bus, NuBus, SCSI bus, Microchannel, EISA bus, S bus.
