Figure 1 – System Diagram

The PCU-100 Lynx Protocol Converter is configured for a specific application by using a graphical-user-interface program developed by AgiLynx called LynxCom-Pro. This program runs on a standard personal computer using the Microsoft Windows operating system and allows a user to configure a Lynx Converter in a point-and-click fashion by selecting and specifying the inputs, the outputs and the conversion details needed for a specific application. After using LynxCom-Pro to set up an application, it is used to communicate with and download the configuration into the Lynx Converter. Once the configuration is downloaded, it is permanently stored unless over-written by a new configuration. The Lynx Converter will report the configuration identifying information when requested with a version command.

Table 1- ARINC 429 Data

The four ARINC transmitters of the Lynx Converter are configured to output at the high-speed rate (100 kbaud), and labels are scheduled to transmit at 20 Hz. When data validity associated with each parameter indicate invalid data, the SSM bits are set to “failure warning.” MIL-STD-1533B Data: The MIL-STD-1553B data collected by the Lynx Converter is sourced from two remote terminals: a GPS unit (RT-17) and a video display unit (RT-06). Acting as a bus monitor, the Lynx Converter can collect data from any transmission type on the bus: bus controller to RT, RT to BC, or RT to RT. Data to or from an RT is further identified by sub-address (130), and then the word number (0-31). For example, pressure altitude from the GPS is identified as RT17-R10-04; -R10 indicates (receive) sub-address 10, -04 indicates word four. Individual bits
