The Aeronautical Radio INC or ARINC standard is a data transfer standard for aircraft avionics. ARINC 708 is mainly used on commercial aircraft and defines a Digital Expandable Flight Data Acquisition and Recording System (DEFDARS).
ARINC 708 describes the characteristics of an airborne pulse Doppler Weather Radar system intended for installation in commercial transport type aircraft. Display data and system mode/status information is transmitted over the Display Databus from the Transmitter-Receiver unit (T-R) to the Control/Display Unit (CDU). Data on the Display Databus consists of 1600 bit messages (words) that are preceded by and followed by a sync. Except for the following sync, bit count, and lack of parity, the signal characteristics on the Display Databus are very similar to MIL-STD-1553.
We are able to offer products suitable for test and simulation, embedded avionics interfaces, avionics i/o computers and potable USB testers all with ARINC 717 functionality.
We offer a range of products including compact USB interfaces, avionics i/o computers, embedded avionics interfaces, databus intefaces cards, databus to network interfaces and avionics interface software all featuring ARINC 429 functionality. These are a range of innovative, easy-to-use products which reduce integration time and provide high reliability systems for use in commercial, military and government applications.
