2 OVERVIEW
The ARINC 429 Data Bus Analyzer (DBA) is available as part of the Commercial
Avionics Utility Suite (DD-42999S0). The DBA is an easy to use Windows-based
application that enables engineers and maintenance personnel to test and maintain
avionics systems. The analyzer monitors 429 received data in real-time and stores it
to disk with a time stamp generated by the ARINC 429 card’s or CPU’s internal timer.
Data stored to disk are in ASCII or Binary format. The Data Bus Analyzer can monitor
up to 32 high- or low-speed receivers and can send data to a maximum of 32 high- or
low-speed transmitters. It supports engineering units and contains an integrated tool
to edit the engineering unit database files.

2.1 Features
• Reception and transmission of ARINC 429 words
• Embedded engineering database and editing environment
• Storage of time-stamped ARINC 429 words to disk
• Filtering and triggering of received data can trigger file transmission and
discrete output
• Chronological and Monitor data display formats
• Data searching and sorting, OLE Windows compatibility

This version of the Data Bus Analyzer (DBA) Software has been expanded to
accommodate multiple types of DDC ARINC 429 cards. Up to four cards can be
installed, and different card types can be “mixed and matched”. The ‘Mapping’
function of the analyzer connects the individual transmitters and receivers to the
actual ‘Channels’ of the analyzer. This feature is covered in more detail in the section
labeled ‘Configuration Menu’.

2.3 System Requirements

The Data Bus Analyzer Software must be installed on an IBM-compatible PC, 80486
processor or better, (Pentium is recommended for high throughput considerations or
ARINC words may be dropped) running Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP. A mouse
and color monitor is also required.

Note: Windows 9x and NT are supported with Version 1.3.8 and older.

The Card Services software must meet PCMCIA Specification 2.10. For the USB
devices, a USB 2.0 port is required. Limited performance is expected when using the
USB devices in a USB 1.1 interface.

Note: This software package is compatible with Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000
and XP. It is not compatible with Windows 3.x or DOS.

If you have an earlier Windows-based Data Bus Analyzer (version 3.x).

The engineering units database is convertible. To use an old database you must
copy the old database to a subdirectory within the install path of the DBA. When you
select “Load Database” from the Engineering menu you can select your database
and convert it to the new format. The configuration files are not convertible, and will
have to be re-entered.

Data Device Corporation 3 DD-42999SO DBA Software User’s Guide

www.ddc-web.com Rev F – 11/10
 OVERVIEW

Drivers for each type of card must be installed. Regardless of which Data Device
Corporation ARINC 429 hardware is installed in the computer, the driver software for
the individual 429 card must be installed on the system. The analyzer will then
automatically connect to the individual drivers with no further intervention by the
operator.

Note: The test software for each individual driver must be run to insure that the
driver is running and the ARINC 429 card is responding. The procedures for
running these tests are covered in detail in the hardware/software manual
for each ARINC card type. Contact the factory to obtain the latest driver
versions.

2.4 Software Features

The Data Bus Analyzer is a Windows application that supports multiple
configurations. Configurations include options such as Channel, Channel Speed,
Channel Alias, Trigger Control, Filter Control, Equipment ID, Engineering Units
Database, and Display format. Each configuration can be modified and saved to a file
for reloading at any time.

Note: The configuration that is active when the Data Bus Analyzer is closed is
always reactivated at startup.

2.4.1 Receive Channels

Receive Channels are selected by the user when the ARINC 429 cards are installed.
Any or all of the available channels can be mapped to a Logical Channel of the
Windows Data Bus Analyzer Software. A flexible system such as this allows any
combination of ARINC 429 cards to be ‘mixed and matched’ to achieve the desired
channel capacity. Mapping of channels also alleviates the work associated with
remembering which hardware channel is connected. Together with the Channel Alias
feature, the user can quickly locate the data of interest.

2.4.2 Data Files

The Windows Data Bus Analyzer Software is OLE compatible. EXCEL and other
Microsoft applications can be used to organize and sort data. The extensive sorting
and plotting features of EXCEL are extremely convenient when displaying large
volumes of data in a meaningful and easy to interpret format. All data is collected and
saved in either ASCII or Binary format. Data files can be received and retransmitted
as FIFO data. If data files are received with relative Timestamps, they can be
retransmitted with no changes at all. In addition, transmission of Data files can be
triggered as a result of received data, which meets (user set) triggering criteria.

Data Device Corporation 4 DD-42999SO DBA Software User’s Guide

www.ddc-web.com Rev F – 11/10
 OVERVIEW

2.4.3 Triggering
When Triggering is enabled, reception of data meeting certain (user set) criteria will
enable data to be recorded to disk. Multiple channels can be used for triggering.
Triggering can be the result of a Binary bit pattern, Engineering value, Time rate of
Labels received, or a Discrete input. Multiple scenarios can be grouped together into
logical units such that all conditions must be true, not true, and then ANDed/ORed to
achieve the logical combination of events to affect and save to disk. Discrete inputs
can also enable trigger, the discrete input can be set to High, Low or Changed. The
rate at which a Label is received can be set for a preset number and trigger the
system.

Pre-triggering can also be enabled such that data from an event can be recorded to
disk; Up to 4096 ARINC 429 words can be pre-recorded and re-arm of the trigger can
be enabled.

2.4.4 Viewing Data

Data files can be viewed in either Chronological or the Monitor mode. Chronological
mode displays all received data in sequential format from the first received word, to
the last received word. When in Monitor mode all received labels and their
associated data words are constantly updated on the screen in a fixed position.

Columns can be turned on or off and sorting of ARINC 429 words can be achieved by
pressing the column header button. All data in the file will then be sorted based on
the data of that column.

Resolution for a time stamp is 100 µsec with the exception of the PCMCIA card,
which is 1 msec. Time stamps can be displayed in an absolute or relative format.
Absolute timing is the time at which a particular label was received relative to the
start of reception (time zero). Relative timing is the time a particular label is received
relative to the last time that label was received. If data has not been received for a
particular label within a (user set) period, the timestamp value will be displayed with a
(ms) extension.

2.4.5 Status Bar

Analyzer status information appears in the Status Bar (if enabled). This information
includes the monitor or chronological selection, the number of lines received, the total
number of ARINC words received, the current configuration file, and the database
that you have loaded. All of this information is displayed on the status bar in that
order from left to right. The total word count is always equal to the total line count in
chronological mode, but in monitor mode the number of lines is equal to the number
of ARINC Labels received at that point in time.

 OVERVIEW

2.4.6 Engineering Units

The analyzer contains integrated tools that allow defining and modifying of the
engineering unit. Equipment types can be defined and assigned to each channel.
Labels with their parameter names can be added to each equipment. Each label can
have a type (alpha, discrete, BNR, BCD, LLD or raw), unit, SSM “+/-” string,
significant digit, resolution, and base value for special labels. Here, LLD means
longitude/latitude, which is processed differently from the normal BCD type.

A word may also have up to 23 padded discrete fields. For each discrete field, a
name and up to 128-bit status words can be defined. Only raw word type cannot
have a discrete field.

4.7.7 Filter
Channel filtering is a technique that allows only certain data to be collected. This

• Label
• Label and SDI combinations
• Variance of data
• Quantity
• Time

that filtering must be enabled in the Control menu ‘Receive Channel’. To assign a
filter to a Channel, set the Channel #, choose the Label SDI combinations, any
advanced filtering and press Add.

Choose Filters from the Control menu and the Receive Channel Filters window will
appear.

Choose the Add button and the Add New Filter window will appear.

Click on the Label and SDI combination of interest and press Add. The Filter will be

www.ddc-web.com Rev F – 11/10
 OPERATION

4.7.7.2 Advanced filtering Implementation

Advanced filtering refers to the ability to filter based on Variance of a bit pattern as
demonstrated above. Filtering can also be based upon time period since the last filter
and the numbers of words since the last filter. All of these advanced filters are
invoked by pressing the Set button in the Add New Filter window. Only one Advanced
filtering option can be used per Label/SDI combination. A brief description of
Advanced filter modes follows.

Variance — of a bit pattern in an ARINC word. If any pattern of bits in an ARINC

word changes, filtering will be enabled. The bits to be monitored can be defined in the
window as shown (bits 9 to 32). If the data bits remain the same, then the
corresponding label will not be filtered.

Quantity based — every (x) number of ARINC words will allow a filter to occur. The
example below demonstrates that 10 words are required before another filter can be
applied.

Time based — number of milliseconds that must pass before another filter can be
applied. The example below demonstrates that 1000 ms must pass before filtering
can be applied.

These features can be used to avoid the collection of words that have the same
information and would represent redundant data being collected to disk.

 OPERATION

4.7.8 Trigger
Triggering refers to the ability of the Windows Data Bus Analyzer to trigger a
collection of received data based upon criteria that are set up in the Trigger sub-
menus. It is important to understand that the flow of data first encounters the filtering
of the Windows Data Bus Analyzer system. Therefore, if filtering is enabled, only
words that pass the filter will be available for triggering.

4.7.8.1 Condition
Five triggering options are available in the Define Trigger Sub-Condition window (see
Figure 22). This window is accessible after pressing the ‘Long Bars’ in the Trigger
Condition window (see Figure 21).

Undefined:
Triggering is not enabled

Binary Mask:
A Mask is applied to the bits in the 32-bit ARINC word. ARINC words whose bits
match the pattern of the mask will trigger the system. The mask can be set to binary
(1) (0) or (x), (x = don’t care). The bit pattern of 1’s and 0’s must match the incoming
ARINC word or the system will not be triggered.

Engineering Value:
Triggering can also be set to trigger collection of data upon reception of a (user set)
engineering Units Value.

Time Rate:
A time can be set, such that the system will be triggered if a particular Label (user
set) reception Rate is (<) or (>) the set value.

Discrete Input:
Triggering of the system will occur if a Discrete Input occurs. This can be set to
respond to a High, Low or Changed Discrete level.

4.7.8.2 Buffer Size and Re-arm

There are many cases in which an event occurs before a trigger point is reached. In
these cases it is very convenient to collect pre-trigger data into a buffer adequate in
size to contain the data of interest. The buffer has been implemented as a ‘Circular’
buffer, (maximum size is 4096 words) numbers of data words greater than that which
is set in the window will be lost as new data is acquired (refer to Figure 23).

Data Device Corporation 42 DD-42999SO DBA Software User’s Guide

www.ddc-web.com Rev F – 11/10
 OPERATION

If a word of interest occurs <200 words

before the trigger point, the buffer size
can be set to 200. When data is captured
due to the trigger, the pre-trigger data of
interest will be in the 200-word buffer
(Datafile). Sorting the file would be the
data of interest.

Check boxes control the collection of

post-trigger data allowing unlimited data
or a specific number of ARINC 429
words to be recorded to disk once
triggering has occurred.

Figure 37. Trigger Buffer Size and Re-arm Window

Note: Re-Arm is defined as “Re-enable trigger automatically after a previous

trigger has occurred”.

4.7.8.3 Discrete Output

When triggering occurs, a previously defined discrete output can be either Set Low/

4.7.11 Speed
Placing a check mark on the “HIGH” option of any given channel will enable that
channel for high-speed transmission. If no check mark is placed on this option, the
channel will be set for low-speed.

4.7.12 Transmission Files

FIFO data files (.dba) can be created using the Add selection from the Edit menu,
using the New and Save As selection from the file menu and from Excel using the
import/export features of OLE.

Scheduled data files (.dbt) can be created using the New button under the
Transmission Files menu.

Receive data files can also be retransmitted through FIFO by simply entering the
filename into the Transmission Files “File for FIFO Transmission” Sub-menu (see
Figure 27).

4.7.12.1 Transmit File Priority:

FIFO and Scheduled transmissions can occur simultaneously. Scheduled
transmissions have priority over FIFO transmissions. FIFO files can be continuously
looped. An Inter-file delay parameter is available for files being transmitter through
the FIFO.

FIFO:
Data words that need not be transmitted on a periodic update rate may be
transmitted via the First-In-First-Out method. Received data is sorted in FIFO order,
for this reason receive files can be retransmitted transmitted using the FIFO method.
Transmission will take place as fast as the ARINC card can process the data (back-
to-back transmission).

Scheduled:
This transmission mode involves placing a time constraint on the word to be
transmitted. This means that a Transmission Rate, Start, Stop and Offset time (in
milliseconds) can be specified for each word. This is accomplished using the
‘Transmission Schedule’ button in the Add Word window. You must first create a
new transmission file by clicking on control, and then transmission files. Click on the
New button under the Transmission Files menu. You will be asked to specify a
filename. Once this is accomplished you may edit and add entries to your file as you
wish.

 OPERATION

Data words are added into transmission files via the Add Word dialog window. This
window is accessed from the Add option under the Edit menu. Data files must be
saved prior to transmission. The following figure illustrates the Add Word dialog
window.

The user must take care to ensure that conflicts do not occur between words that
are scheduled. This means that it is possible to specify a rate and offset for two or
more words that will result in identical transmission times of words.

If a correct offset is not specified, the analyzer will attempt to transmit two or more
words at the same time. The result will be that one of the words will be
transmitted on schedule and the other directly after.

Note: Start and Stop are optional.

4.7.12.6 SSM and SDI

The SSM (Sign/Status Matrix) and SDI (Source Destination Identifier) fields are part
of the 24-bit raw data. When the user enters the 24-bit data, the SSM and SDI fields
are automatically set. If the user changes the SSM or SDI fields, the 24-bit raw data
field is automatically updated to incorporate the change. The SDI field can be used in
filtering raw data. See ‘Filters’ in the Control Menu section for more details.

4.7.12.7 Parity
Selectable as ‘Odd, Even or None’. (Odd is the 429 default). The parity field is part of
the 24-bit raw data. When the user enters the 24-bit raw data, the parity is set. If the
user changes the parity field, the 24-bit raw data field is automatically updated to
incorporate the changes, unless the ‘Don’t Care’ option is selected.

4.7.13 Channel Mapping

Prior to enabling or setting the speed of a transmit or receive channel, those
channels must be mapped to hardware. The Channel Mapping window allows the
user to map a logical channel number (i.e. 1 to 32) to a physical hardware device.
Discrete channels may also be mapped in the same fashion.

 OPERATION

4.9 The Multiple Configuration Concept

Saving configurations in an easily remembered file is a powerful feature of the
Windows Data Bus Analyzer and can be used to ease the work associated with
setting up the analyzer for repetitive types of experiments. This new configuration can
then be saved to a new file with a meaningful name.

The Configuration menu consists of these operations:

4.9.1 New
Returns the configuration to a default (blank) configuration.

4.9.2 Load
Opens a browse window to choose a configuration to Load.

4.9.3 Save
Stores the present configuration in the current configuration filename.

4.9.4 Save As
Prompts for a new filename for the current configuration.

4.9.5 Auto Save

Updates the current configuration file as each configuration change is made,
removing the need to ‘Save’.

4.9.6 Delete
Prompts for a configuration filename to be removed.

4.9.7 Hardware Card Type

The Hardware Settings of the ARINC 429 card are defined in this menu but are not
saved in the configuration file. This is because the analyzer configuration can change
but the hardware configuration would not or visa versa.

If you select a P8 card, and then remove the card you may have to delete the cards
key in the windows register. This key is located under HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
Software, Data Device Corp, 429 Data Bus Analyzer, Settings. You will need to do

this if the program stops responding when you start the program. A new key will be
set up in the register as soon as the user selects a hardware card. To avoid editing
the register, select (none) as an option under hardware card before you exit the
program.

Figure 45. Hardware Card Type Selection Window

4.10 Engineering Menu

The Engineering menu allows the user to configure all aspects of the Engineering
Unit Conversion features of the Data Bus Analyzer. Engineering Unit Conversion is a
powerful tool that will convert data, in real time, from 32-bit ARINC format to user
format.

The user may configure their own conversion database or use an existing version.
The Data Bus analyzer is delivered with a “default” database. This default is not
capable of being edited. Before using the provided default database, it is
recommended that a copy be made, and all work should be performed from the copy.

After an engineering conversion method is defined, in order for the software to

process a channel with the proper algorithms, the respective channel must be
mapped to an Equipment ID (as seen in Figure 14).

The Engineering Menu consists of the following operations:

This option duplicates an existing database.

The Windows Data Bus Analyzer contains a read only database of ARINC 429
Engineering Units. This database is stored in the Default directory. Once the
database is duplicated and renamed it will be writeable. This is accomplished from
the Engineering Menu using the Duplicate Database function.

Also, functions that are dependent on the Engineering units Database (i.e.,
Equipment ID), require that an Engineering units Database be loaded.

Figure 48. Duplicate Engineering Unit Database Window

4.10.5 Edit Database

The Engineering Unit Conversion database contains three principle elements:
Equipment IDs, Labels, and Label Parameters. Each Equipment ID may contain a
maximum of 377 (octal) Labels. Each Label may broken down into multiple bit fields,
representing different user information.
