P-SER Interface

P-SER I/O product is a native PMC form factor interface providing real-time serial input and output with high time-precision reception/input time-stamping, scheduled transmission/output, event triggering and interrupt support. This interface is designed to meet the needs of both the simulations/test and the real-time embedded applications whether in Windows or VxWorks environments. Optionally available on PCI, cPCI and PCI Express backplane carriers, the P-SER products are distributed with an API library and source code, and are compatible with both Windows and VxWorks operating systems.

The P-SER provides software to support the ARINC CSDB protocol that uses standard RS-422 at the physical layer.
