In network emulation mode, the MILbus  emulation circuitry emulates a transformer-
coupled network without the use of MILbus  couplers (using a resistor network). Thus, 
an external dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 Terminal can be directly connected to the 
module. 
 
The Amplitude of the MILbus Signal can be controlled separately for the PRIMARY and 
SECONDARY channel. To control the Amplitude an 8Bit Digital to Analogue Converter 
is used.
