LV-1553 software is the integrating link between our MIL-STD-1553 interfaces and the National Instruments LabVIEW graphical environment. Low-level programming is eliminated, and by using the G graphical language, users can quickly develop custom PC, PCI, cPCI, PCMCIA, VME and VXI-based test and simulation solutions that connect to MIL-STD-1553B avionics databuses.

LabView Real-Time is now supported by LV-1553 and GE Fanuc cPCI hardware on PXI/cPCI platforms.

By using LV-1553, users can rapidly build custom applications to monitor multiple 1553 channels in real-time, filter and time-tag data, create custom displays and pass data to other applications. The LV-1553 product includes complete VIs (Virtual Instruments) that can be used in the LabVIEW environment to provide graphical access to GE Fanuc's extensive API (Application Programming Interface). Users can then create their own interactive VI interfaces to initialize and control the intelligent hardware. A single set of LabVIEW VIs supports the functionality of the PCI-1553, cPCI-1553, ISA-1553, PCCARD-1553, VME-1553 and VXI-1553 interfaces.

An actual LabVIEW application program is provided that covers board initialization, Bus Controller, Remote Terminal and Bus Monitor functionality. The LV-1553 examples provide a rapid jump-start for customized user application programming with LabVIEW.
