MIL-STD-1553 Reference Manual
Chapter 4 – Calibration Functions
4 CALIBRATION FUNCTIONS
Chapter 4 defines the Calibration function calls of the API S/W Library. The Calibration
functions provide configuration of the physical MILbus including coupling mode, transmitter
amplitude output and data rate (default 1 Mbps). Table 4-I defines the list and definition of
Calibration function calls. The function calls in this table are listed in a functional order,
however, the detailed descriptions of the Calibration function calls in the following sections are
in alphabetical order.
