The AIM Advantage
 AIM designs and manufactures powerful Test & Simulation Modules, Databus Analyzers, and Systems for advanced MIL-STD-1553, STANAG3910/EFEx, ARINC429, AFDX/ARINC664, Fibre Channel, PANAVIA Serial Link, and MIL-STD-1760 applications. Our modules are available in PMC, PC-Card (PCMCIA, Type II), PCI, CPCI (3U/6U), VME, and VXI formats.
AIM’s test & simulation modules use an innovative “Common Core” hardware design, using multiple RISC Processors, an onboard Application Support Processor, Scalable Memory, and an IRIG-B Time Code Decoder/Processor.
- High Level API (Application Programming Interface) included in the module price.
- ANS (AIM’s Network Server) for Client/Server operation included.
- Powerful Windows based Databus Analyzer/Visualizer software is also available.
Common Core Features
- Onboard Application Support Processor (150-600MIPS)
- Multiple Bus Interface Unit Processors (200-600MIPS)
- IRIG-B Time Code decoder/generator for time tagging and synchronization
- Host backplane Bus Master capability
- Deterministic Timing within the Windows Operating System
- C/C++, Compiler Support
- Onboard Driver Software for programming ease
- Application software easily ports between hardware platforms
- Flash PROM for in-field updates - Benefit from the latest versions available from our Download area
- Modules function with optional Databus Analyzer/Visualizer software
Software Support
 AIM’s modules are delivered with full function Driver Software written in C/C++, to support a wide range of popular operating systems and environments. Our portfolio is ever increasing in line with our customer demands and new requirements. Driver Software support includes Windows 98/NT/2000/XP, Linux, LabVIEW, LabWIN/CVI, VxWorks, LynxOS, and IRIX.
AIM’s PBA.pro™ is a new generation of Avionics Databus Test and Analysis software using a scalable, flexible and integrated framework approach compatible with AIM’s family of “Common Core” and “New Common Core” high performance test and simulation modules for MIL-STD-1553, STANAG3910/EFEX, ARINC429, AFDX/ARINC664, Panavia Serial Link, Fibre Channel, and other I/O and peripheral inter-connections and hardware.
The PBA.pro™ software runs on both Windows™ and Linux™ platforms and integrates more functions and features ever seen in one software product for avionics test, development, simulation and monitoring applications. PBA.pro™ incorporates low level databus analyzer and protocol testing features found in traditional databus analyzer products from AIM (PBA-2000, PBA3910/XP, PAA-429, fdXplorer, and fcXplorer).
Systems
 AIM provides custom systems for avionics and aerospace clients requiring complete turn key solutions. Many AIM systems have been installed to support applications such as Special to Type Test Equipment (STTE), Real Time Data Acquisition, MIL-STD-1760 Stores Test Sets, Ground Loading Units, Aircraft Ground Equipment (AGE), and High Level Databus Analysers.
Using AIM’s avionics modules and Databus Analyzer/Visualizer software based on our standard modules and using commercial off the shelf (COTS) technology as building blocks, our System Solutions provide the most cost efficient engineering approach built to the highest quality standards which meet or exceed our customers' expectations.
Today, AIM builds systems using the new PBA.pro™ software as the building block to provide anything from a “stand alone databus analyzer” right up to a complete “systems test bench” or powerful “test and integration facility” which can be offered within the PBA.pro™ software. This approach gives our customers systems that are flexible, expandable, scalable, and open to keep pace with future requirements!
