Press Release Summary: Alta’s VxWorks Product Support Enables Customers to Quickly Integrate 1553 and ARINC Avionics Networks in to Rugged Embedded, Conduction Cooled, Test and Simulation Applications

Press Release Body: Alta Data Technologies LLC (Alta) of Rio Rancho, NM, a leader in advanced avionics interface modules, announces new support for WindRiver’s VxWorks 6 real-time operating system. The non-RTP driver is provided with source code at no cost with standard MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC interface cards. “This new driver support enables our customers to quickly integrate Alta 1553 and ARINC products in to their real-time, VxWorks embedded application. When combined with our advanced application program interface tool kit, AltaAPI™ , and our card’s full featured AltaCore™ protocol engine, the customer receives the very latest, state of the art avionics performance.” states Rich Wade, Chief Technical Officer of Alta.

Alta’s 1553 and ARINC interface cards are available for most standard backplanes (including commercial and rugged embedded/conductioned cooled systems) such as PCI/PCI-X/PCI Express, PMC/VME/VPX, PMC/CompactPCI, PCCARD/PCMCIA, PC104-Plus systems (and coming soon with native products for PCI Express, PCI ExpressCard, XMC and PCI104-Express). Alta also sells two software products for 1553 and ARINC analyzers, AltaView™, and the industry’s only SAE AS4111 1553 Protocol Test Package, AltaRTVal™.

The AltaCore-1553™ protocol engine has been fully AS4111 RT Validated and AltaRTVal test processes have been verified against independent 3rd party test procedures; this combination provides the most verified 1553 standard product in the industry.

AltaAPI is a modular software tool kit that enables the customer to quickly integrate avionics controls to their application. The professional, modular design of AltaAPI is ideal for long term project support and can quickly be ported to various operating/development systems, such as Linux 32-bit & 64-bit, MS Windows XP/NT/Vista/C#/.NET™, NI LabView™ Applications, Greenhills Software Integrity™, LynuxWorks LynxOS™, etc...

Alta is a privately held company that has experienced rapid growth in the avionics embedded, test and simulation markets. Alta’s products offer the latest in technology design with a pure 32 FPGA design and memory architecture to provide the customer’s system the most advanced, validated interface for 1553 (1553A/1553B/Notice II and Notice IV) and ARINC (ARINC-429/575/573/717) avionics networks.
