[0002] The main function of the digital interface board is to realize the ARINC429 bus signals of multiple atmospheric data sensors and extreme computers, and convert them into parallel digital signals.

[0029] Specific testing process:
[0030] ARINC429 functional circuit test:
[0031] A reset signal is sent via port XP04 / A05 to reset the protocol chip. The chip is then put into normal operating mode by writing control word 0020H to the HS1-3282 register address. A chip select signal (active low) is sent via port XP04 / C06. Write signals (IORD / high, IOWT / low) are sent via ports XP04 / A06 and XP04 / A07, as shown in Table 1. Corresponding address decoding signals are sent via the ports to generate the D6 transmit control signals (PL1, PL2, ENTX), controlling its transmission of the 429 signal. This signal is output via ports XP04 / B36 and XP04 / B37. The output signal is then connected to oscilloscope channels 1 and 2 via an AMC2623D-1 matrix switch for display and received via the ARINC429 bus interface module. The received 429 data signal is compared with the theoretical data result for judgment and uploaded to a report.
[0032] ARINC429 receiver function circuit test:
[0033] The ARINC429 bus interface module's channels 1 and 2 are switched via a matrix switch module to ports XP04 / A30, XP04 / A31, XP04 / C30, and XP04 / C31 to send 429 signals, as shown in Table 1. The corresponding address decoding signals are sent through the ports to generate the receive control signals (EN1, EN2, SEL) for D6. Ports XP04 / A06 and XP04 / A07 send read signals (IORD / low level, IOWT / low level). The data signals are output from the buffer drive circuit to the ports and received by the high-speed digital IO module. The collected data signals are compared with the theoretical data results for judgment and uploaded to the report.
