CEI-100/200 ARINC Test Program
General Information
The menu-driven control program, provided with the CEI-100 and CEI-
200 interface, is CONDOR.EXE. It is used to control the channels on one
of these boards. It provides a basic level of functionality for test purposes.
This program is NOT available for the CEI-220, CEI-420, CEI-420A,
CEI-520, CEI-620, or CEI-820 and can be run only under DOS
.
An optional, more-powerful control program called AVIATOR.EXE is
also available. It enhances the utility of the CEI-100/200 by expanding
your scope of control. It provides additional instrumentation and
analytical tools, including simultaneous control of multiple channels on
multiple boards, data logging, real-time display of data in engineering
units, multiple buffering mechanisms, and powerful triggering logic.
Strings of outgoing messages can be generated, repeated, or automatically
stepped though a sequence. Strings of incoming messages can be filtered
and captured for current or future analysis. A database is provided of the
standard BCD and BNR message formats of both the ARINC 429-11 and
ARINC 429-12 Specifications for the Mark 33 Digital Information
Transfer System (DITS). AVIATOR.EXE also lets you load your own
database in place of ARINC Specification data.
The CONDOR.EXE program is menu-driven. The Escape key always
exits a submenu. Help can be obtained at any time by using the F1 key.
The help file can be viewed using the arrow keys, Page up and Page down
keys and the Home/End keys. To exit help use the Escape key.
This program automatically initializes the board and displays the opening
screen illustrated in Figure 22.
