Scope
The cPCI-ARTIC is readily software
programmable, to support maximum data
throughput simultaneously. It operates
with independent receivers and
transmitters.
The cPCI-ARTIC interface has a RISC
low power processor with full control of 8
ARINC transmit/receive channels as well
as the single RS232/422 channel on
board.
