The Ballard MIL-STD-1553 Custom Device allows use of Astronics MIL-STD-1553 PXIe Modules with Ballard Technology in VeriStand. The custom device targets one core of a Ballard MIL-STD-1553 PXIe module. To target multiple modules or multiple cores on the same module, use multiple instances of this custom device.
The custom device supports the following functionality:
- Import configuration files via scripting and System Explorer
- LabVIEW scripting of the custom device configuration
- Viewing read-only configuration in System Explorer
- Transmit and Receive configured messages, command words, and status words
- Scheduled and Acyclic
- Multiple parameters per message
- Multiple messages on one or both channels per core
- Log all messages per core (on compatible modules)
