INTRODUCTION 

1.3  MIL-STD-1553 Protocol 

MIL-STD-1553 is a standard defining a local area network (LAN) originally 
developed for and widely used on military aircraft. This digital, command-
response, time-division multiplexing network protocol is also used in many other 
military and commercial applications where fast, positive control is required. The 
standard defines the handshaking, data formats, and timing requirements of the 
protocol as well as the electrical characteristics of the bus and the terminals’ 
interface electronics. Familiarity with the MIL-STD-1553 databus protocol is 
essential to understanding the operation of the Lx1553-5, and it is assumed 
throughout this manual that the user is acquainted with this protocol. 

1.4  Other Documentation 

Besides this manual, Ballard Technology provides other documentation to 
facilitate the operation of the Lx1553-5. These include protocol manuals and 
information on the software distribution disk. 

A BTIDriver API programming manual is available for MIL-STD-1553. This 
manual (

MIL-STD-1553 Programming Manual for BTIDriver-Compliant Devices

) 

provides information on the specific protocol and includes basic and advanced 
programming instructions for users who intend to write their own software. It 
also contains a comprehensive reference for each function. 

The software distribution disk accompanying the Lx1553-5 device has example 
programs, drivers, and driver installation instructions for various operating 
systems, as well as other information, files, and resources. 

1.5  Technical Support and Customer Service 

Ballard Technology offers technical support before and after purchase. Our hours 
are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Pacific Time, though support and sales engineers are 
often available outside those hours. We invite your questions and comments on
