1. TEST EQUIPMENTS:

 Equipment Required:
 64C2 6U VME Board with N7 module
 VME Chassis
 Host PC with NAII Embedded Soft Panel installed
 1553 Cables
 Digital Multimeter (DMM)
 Data Bus Coupler

2. Setup:

 Back Plane Voltage Check:

 Connect the power supply to the VME chassis and ensure it is set to 230V.
 Before plugging in the VME card, check the VME backplane voltage.
 Measure the voltage at the VME backplane connectors with a DMM.
 Ensure the following voltages are present:
o +3.3V DC
o +5V DC
o +12V DC
o -12V DC
 Confirm all voltages are within acceptable ranges before proceeding.
 Ensure the Data Bus Coupler is properly connected between the host PC and the Board to
facilitate data communication.

 Card Installation and Connectivity:

 Carefully plug in the 64C2 board into the VME chassis, ensuring proper alignment and secure
connection.
 Connect the board to the host PC using Ethernet.
 Ping the IP address to 64C2 board to ensure connectivity.

3. Software Installation:
 Download the NAII Embedded Soft Panel software from the North Atlantic Industries, Inc. (NAII)
website.
 Install the software on the host PC running Windows operating system, following the instructions
provided by NAII.
 Ensure that the software installation is completed successfully without any errors.

4. Test Procedures:
 Built In Test (BIT):
 Power on the VME chassis and ensure the Board passes the initial BIT.
 Verify that the status indicators (LEDs) on the board show normal operation.

5. Soft Panel Configuration:

 Launch the NAII Embedded Soft Panel application from the installed location on the host PC.

6. System Initialization:
 Ensure all connections are secure and properly aligned.
 Double-check the connections against the pinout diagrams or documentation provided.
 Power on the VME chassis and the host PC, and confirm that all necessary connections are established
before proceeding with software initialization and testing.
 Allow sufficient time for the system to boot up.

7. Working with NAII Embedded Soft Panel:

 Launching and Initial Configuration:

iii. NAII_ESP_Board_Configuration_Connected

 Card 1 (VME-64C2) - IPAddr: 192.168.1.8:

o This entry represents the first card installed in the system, labelled as 'Card 1'.
o The card type is specified as 'VME-64C2', indicating the model or type of the card.
o 'IPAddr: 192.168.1.8' denotes the IP address assigned to this card. In this example,
the card is assigned the IP address '192.168.1.8'.

 'N7' represents the MIL-STD-1553 function module installed in the system, this module
facilitates MIL-STD-1553 bus communication within the system.
 'Z0' denotes a slot in the system that is not populated with a module, this entry indicates that
the slot labelled 'Z0' does not have any module installed.
 Additionally, if no onboard reference supply is chosen for this slot, it implies that the slot is
currently inactive.
 Note: The specific function module labelled 'N7' may vary depending on the system
configuration. Different modules or variants may be installed based on system requirements.

 Select the Module:

 Click on the 'N7' module.

 Once you click on N7, channel configuration of the 1553 module window will appear.
 Each N7 module consist of 2 channels as displayed below.

(ATP)

 Configure Channel Parameters:

 Within the 'Channel Configuration' window, users can configure specific parameters for each
channel of the 'N7' module.
 Parameters may include channel mode (e.g., bus controller, remote terminal, bus monitor),
channel address, bus speed, parity settings, and other communication parameters relevant to
MIL-STD-1553 communication.
 Here we are configuring Channel-1 as BC and channel-2 as RT, AND Transmit message
from channel-1 to channel-2 and check whether communication is happening or not.

 Creating Message in Channel 1 [BC Configuration] :

 In 1553 Module1 Channel-1, right click on Bus message, then click on Insert BC message
Form1553_BCMessageEditor window will appear.
 Enter Message name, then select the type of message you need example: BCRT, RTBC,
RTRT and so on.
 In command configuration part, select the RT number, Sub address and wordcount as per
your requirement.
 Then click on Add to List and close
 You can see the command configuration B1(R-01-S-01-W-01) displayed under bus message
indicates message has been created, Shown in the screenshot below(vi).

 RT Creation in Channel 2:
 Right click on the RTs in channel 2, click on insert RT.
 A Form1553_RTEditor window will appear, Enter remote terminal name.
 Provide the remote terminal address which you have given while creating the BC message.
 Select the subaddress which you have used while creating the BC message, then click on
Add to list.

 Send Message from Channel 1 to Channel 2:

 Once both Channel 1 and Channel 2 are configured appropriately, initiate the transmission
process from Channel 1.
 Right click on channel 2’s Bus Monitor click on Start Bus Monitor.
 A new bus monitor window will appear
 Now right click on channel 1’s command configuration example: B1(R-01-S-01-W-02)
