MIL-STD-1553 Reference Manual
Chapter 3 – System Functions
3 SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
Chapter 3 defines the System function calls of the API S/W Library. The System functions
provide general device control, response timeout setup, IRIG setup, board configuration status
and control of the generation of dynamic data words/datasets. Table 3-I defines the list and
definition of System function calls within this group. The function calls in this table are listed in
a functional order, however, the detailed descriptions of the System function calls in the
following sections are in alphabetical order.
Table 3-I – System Function Descriptions
Initializes AIM board and returns board configuration
Resets the AIM board and ASP driver software data to initial
state
Performs a selftest on the AIM board
