Lx1553-5 User’s Manual 1-1
1. INTRODUCTION
This manual is the user’s guide for the LP1553-5 and the LE1553-5; hereafter,
both products will be referred to generically as an Lx1553-5. This guide
introduces the Lx1553-5, describes the installation process, references
programming alternatives, and discusses special Lx1553-5 features.
1.1 Lx1553-5 Overview
The Lx1553-5 is either a PCI (LP1553-5) or PCI Express (LE1553-5) compliant
interface card capable of communicating over MIL-STD-1553 avionics
databuses. PCI and PCI Express (hereafter referred to as PCIe) are common
buses available in desktop computers. In addition to the MIL-STD-1553
capability, the Lx1553-5 provides an IRIG timer and input/output avionics
discrete I/O signals. The Lx1553-5 is available in different configurations to suit
many diverse applications.
