SECTION II - INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This section contains information relating to the unpacking and inspection of the unit. Also included is
information concerning charging of the internal batteries and an explanation of the unit's self test routine.
2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EQUIPMENT
Carefully remove the Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems 429EX and battery charger from the packing box.
Visually inspect the units for any damage incurred during shipment. Should there be damage, save the
packing box to show the shipping company when submitting your claim. It is generally a good idea to
save the packing box should it become necessary to store or ship the unit.
2.3 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
2.3.1 BATTERY CHARGING
The batteries were fully charged when the unit was shipped from the factory. However, if the unit has
been stored for an extended period of time, the batteries may have become discharged. Plug the charger
into an appropriate voltage outlet (U.S. as well as international voltage chargers are available). A 4 to 5
hour charge should refresh the batteries. The 429EX may be operated while charging or with the charger
disconnected. With fully charged batteries, the unit will operate for approximately 3 to 6 hours.
CAUTION
To avoid possible damage to the battery charger, it is recommended that you do NOT have the charger
connected to the wall outlet when connecting or disconnecting the charging plug to the 429EX.
2.3.2 CONNECTION TO USER EQUIPMENT
Connect the Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems 429EX TX output jack to the input of the UUT and the 429EX
RX input jack to the output of the UUT using 3-conductor 1/4 inch phone plugs (see paragraph 1.4).
2.3.3 JUMPER PLUG FABRICATION
Jumper plugs should be fabricated using 2-conductor braided shield cable. The shield should be
folded back onto the insulation and the clamp on the connector should be crimped around the
shielding. Also, once the shield is clamped, solder should be added to ensure a stable
connection is made between the clamp and wire shield. Refer to figures 2-1 and 2-2.

2.4 POST INSTALLATION CHECK
2.4.1 UNIT SELF TEST
The 429EX performs a self test routine on initial power up. The following tests are performed:
1. The message EX VERSION *.* is displayed. (*.* = firmware revision). Red LED's on the front
of the unit will be lit for approximately 0.5 seconds each in the following order; EVEN and ODD
Parity, TX and RX. For the remainder of the test, unless an error condition exists, the LED's are
extinguished. If one of the LED's fails to light, the unit should still function properly, but the LED
should be replaced at the earliest opportunity. If all LED's fail to illuminate and the display is
blank or displays random data, then a catastrophic unit failure has occurred or the batteries are
completely discharged.
2. The EPROM is checked by summing all memory locations and comparing the result to the
known checksum. If the checksums don't match, the unit will signal a checksum error by flashing
the RX LED and will attempt to write CHECKSUM ERROR to the display. If the entire EPROM
has failed, however, or if one of the locations in the checksum sub-routine is bad, the program
will not be able to execute properly.
3. The 429EX has RAM in two independent IC's. The unit tests each RAM section separately for
data retention and address integrity. It begins by writing the lower 8 bits of the location address
to the location. After writing to all locations of the section. It then reads each location and check
its value. If all is correct, it will repeat this sequence with the exception that it will write the
complement of the lower 8 bits of the location address to the location. It performs this sequence
for each RAM section.
If the first IC fails this test, the unit will flash the EVEN parity LED and attempt to write NSC RAM
ERR to the display. This indicates that U5 has failed its test. If the second IC fails this test, the
unit will flash the ODD parity LED and will attempt to write 6116 RAM ERR to the display. This
indicates that U3 has failed its test. The PROGRAM will then loop indefinitely reading from the
failed location.
4. The 429EX has a loop back feature on the digital board to completely test the digital portion of
the transmit and receive circuitry. The unit will turn on the loopback circuitry and transmit a word
with a label of 0 and a data pattern of AA55AA (hex). After a brief pause, the unit will read its
receive buffer and check the data against the transmitted data. If the data is not what is
expected, the unit will flash the TX LED and attempt to write LOOP BACK FAILED to the display.
No further operations will be possible until the cause of the failure is corrected.
The Loop test and Ram tests are not performed if the unit Trap mode is active.
If all tests have been successfully completed, the unit will display SELF TEST OK for
approximately 2 seconds and will then enter the operational transmit mode and display the
number of different labels currently being transmitted.

429 EX - Rev. 0 – April 26, 2006 - Page 3-1
SECTION III - OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems 429EX is a single channel ARINC 429 transmitter and receiver.
It can receive and display all ARINC 429 labels (001 - 377). It can simultaneously output up to
ten 429 words. Data can be displayed and entered in hexadecimal or engineering formats.
3.1.1 HEX DISPLAY MODE
The HEX mode has two types of data entry and display. The first type allows display and entry of bits 32-
9 in hexadecimal format. The characters represent bits 32 through 9 (starting with bit 32) of the 32 bit
word in six 4-bit nibbles. Each 4-bit nibble is derived from the BCD equivalent of the binary value. For
example:
Data field in binary -
1001
0010
1111
0001
1010
0101
Equivalent hex value - 9
2
F
1
A
5
The label will be displayed in octal. The SDI (bits 10-9) is then displayed in binary. Bits 32-9 of the word
are then displayed in HEX. On the far right of the display will be the SSM bits (31-30) of the word. The
second type in HEX mode allows display and entry of bits 31-9 in binary format. The SDI bits (10-9) and
SSM bits (31-30) each have their own screen. The remaining bits (29-11) each have their own individual
screen. Word rate for the word is also available on a dedicated screen in the HEX mode.
3.1.2 ENGINEERING DISPLAY MODE
The ENG (Engineering) mode allows data entry and display in engineering unit formats (Feet, Knots,
MHz, etc.). The label definition will determine the number of screens required for display of the possible
fields of the word. Label definition may be changed by entering a new EQID (Equipment Identifier). This
is accomplished by pressing the EQID key which will display the current EQID number. To change it,
press the EDIT key, enter the desired two digit number and press the ENTER key. If the new EQID is
valid (per ARINC 429-11, Attach. 2) for the currently selected label, then the label will be decoded and
displayed according to that definition. If the EQID is invalid for the label, or no EQID number is entered,
the default definition (EQID 00) will be used (see Appendix A of this manual for the default label
definitions). The last EQID entered will remain active until changed or until the unit is turned off (unless in
Trap or Protect mode). Some labels have definitions that don't have an assigned EQID and are not the
default definition. These have been arbitrarily assigned EQID of FF.
NOTE
BITE Status Word has been assigned the same EQID as the BITE Command Word (7E) and will be
displayed in engineering format. However, due to the many variations of data types for the word, it must
be entered in HEX format.
3.1.3 RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT MODES
There are two distinct modes of system operation; RX (Receiver) mode and TX (Transmit) mode.
Selection of these modes and all other display operations are accomplished by keypad or slide switch
entry.
Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems Operation Manual
429 EX - Rev. 0 – April 26, 2006 - Page 3-2
3.1.3.1 TX Mode
The transmitter is capable of outputting up to ten 32 bit words in ARINC 429 or 419 bipolar RZ (Return-to-
Zero) format. The word rate for each of the ten can be set independently. The word rate can be as fast
as 4 ms or as slow as 59998 ms. If the word rate is not specified, the unit will set it to the default value
as defined as the minimum word rate in the ARINC 429-11 specification. The transmitter automatically
insures at least a 4 bit time (Low Speed) separation between adjacent words.
The transmitter section may be placed into a PROTECTED mode of operation if desired. This is
accomplished by pressing the TRAP key while the unit is in the transmit mode of operation (TX LED lit).
Subsequent presses of the TRAP key will cause the display to toggle between PROTECTED and NOT
PROTECTED. If turned on, this feature protects the user entered parameters from changing when the
unit is powered off. When power is restored to the unit, it will resume operation where it was at power
down. If the PROTECTED mode is turned off, the unit will clear the transmitter section on power up. The
unit will stay in the selected mode (PROTECTED or NOT PROTECTED) until changed by the user, even
if the unit power is cycled.
The data for most labels with engineering definitions can be SLEWED. This means that the data will
dynamically change value according to user defined parameters. There will be 4 slew screens in the data
mode for any label with slew capability. The first screen is a SLEW screen that defines the amount of
change in data. When this parameter is set to "0" (default), no slewing will occur. The second screen is
the MAX screen which defines the upper limit that the data is allowed to slew to. The third screen is the
MIN screen which defines the lower limit that the data is allowed to slew to. Either parameter may be
positive or negative (dependent on ARINC definition for the label), but the MAX parameter MUST be
larger than the MIN parameter. Note that only bits 28 to 17 of the limits will be used in the limit check. All
other bits are ignored and will be truncated upon user entry of new limit values. The fourth screen turns
the ALT (Alternate) mode on and off. If this mode is on, the data will slew to the limit in the direction it is
going. When the limit is reached, the data will reverse direction and then slew to the opposite limit.
When this limit is reached, the data will again reverse itself. If ALT is off, the data will slew in the direction
entered in the SLEW parameter (positive or negative) to the limit and then reset to the value defined for
the opposite limit (data wraps around).
3.1.3.2 RX Mode
The receiver has the capability of receiving and storing up to 255 (511 in DATA ONLY mode) high or low
speed 32 bit words in ARINC 429 or 419 RZ format. There are three mutually exclusive receiver modes of
operation. Each mode has a screen that shows the count of words received, the label and description, or
the data field currently selected.
NORMAL mode (default) is a dynamic mode that displays all unique labels received. In this mode the
screen is updated 4 times per second with the latest data received.
FILTER mode is identical to NORMAL mode with the exception that words received may be filtered.
Words may be filtered in 1 of 4 combinations; All Labels/All SDI, Specific Label/All SDI, All Labels/Specific
SDI, and Specific Label/Specific SDI. Any words that do not meet the filter parameters will be discarded.
TRAP mode is the third and most powerful mode. This is a static mode of operation which captures and
stores the data for detailed analysis. Words are received and stored in the trap buffer in their order of
occurrence. They will remain in the buffer until the trap mode is turned off, even if the unit power is
turned off. In normal TRAP mode, up to 255 unique words may be stored. In this mode, the time that has
elapsed since the previous word is stored as the rate. In DATA ONLY TRAP mode, up to 511 words
(must be the same label) are stored. The rate is invalid in this mode of operation.
Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems Operation Manual
429 EX - Rev. 0 – April 26, 2006 - Page 3-3
The TRAP has user definable trigger and filter parameters. A trigger may be set up so that trapping will
not occur until the trigger specs are met. Triggering specs may be set in 1 of 4 combinations: Don't Care
Label/Don't Care Data (No Trigger), Specific Label/Don't Care Data, Don't Care Label/Specific Data
Pattern, Specific Label/Specific Data Pattern. Filtering specs may be set to filter the data in 1 of 4
combinations: All Labels/All Data, Specific Label/All Data, All Labels/Specific Data Pattern, and Specific
Label/Specific Data pattern. The data pattern for each spec can be from 1 to 24 bits. If a data pattern is
entered for either spec, the user will be prompted for a CARES mask. If a bit is set in this mask, the
corresponding bit in the received data will be checked against the same bit in the desired data pattern.
The user may simply press the enter key if the prompted parameter is a don't care to the user. Data and
care patterns must be entered in hexadecimal (up to 6) characters, if used. As an example, if a DATA
pattern of 000001 and a CARES pattern of 000003 (default) is used then only the SDI bits (10 - 9) will be
checked for an SDI of 01. The status of a bit in the DATA pattern is irrelevant if the corresponding bit in
the CARES pattern is not set.
3.1.4 MISCELLANEOUS
3.1.4.1 Speed and Parity Select/Display
The transmitter and receiver can operate at either 12.5 kbps (Lo Speed) or 100 kbps (Hi Speed). Each
mode's speed can be set independently of the other. The parity of the words being transmitted can be set
for either ODD or EVEN parity. The 429EX will automatically correct the entered data to be transmitted if
the data entered by the user is in conflict with the selected TX parity. An LED indicator will show the parity
selected for transmitted words if in the TX mode or the parity of the currently displayed word if in the RX
mode.
3.1.4.2 Power Saver Mode
To minimize battery drain, the 429EX has the capability to sense there has been no activity (keypad, TX,
or RX) for at least 5 minutes. When this happens, the 429EX will shut down some of it's circuitry and go
to "sleep". In this state, the 429EX is fully functional, but it is in a low current drain wait state. The LCD
screen will be blank, but either the TX or RX LED will be lit. Any keypad or RX activity will reawaken the
429EX to its normal operation mode.
3.2 CONTROL FUNCTIONS
3.2.1 429EX CONTROLS AND INDICATORS (Figure 3-1)
(1) TRAP Mode Key

357), the SCROLL keys will allow selection of the Alpha character to
be entered (SCROLL to the desired character and press ENT to select a
character).
(8) TX/RX Indicator
LED indicates that the system is in either transmitter (TX) or receiver
(RX) mode of operation for display and entry of data.
(9) PARITY Indicator
IN RX MODE. LED Indicates parity (ODD or EVEN) of word presently
displayed.
IN TX MODE. LED Indicates selected transmit parity.
(10) HEX/ENG Switch
Allows operator to select hexadecimal or engineering unit display and
entry of data.
(11) TX/RX Key
Allows operator to select whether the system is in transmit or receive
mode of operation for display and entry of data. After selection of the
TX/RX key, initial display indicates the number of labels being
transmitted, received, trapped, or filtered. SCROLL keys should then be
used for manual stepping through transmitter or receiver slots. TX/RX
LED indicators above display will indicate current mode of operation.
(12) RX SPEED Switch
Allows operator to select HI (100 kbps) or LO (12.5 kbps) receiver
speed.
(13) DATA ENTRY Keys
Allows operator to enter various data in hexadecimal or engineering
formats. Keys 0 to 9 and the "." and "-" keys are valid while in ENG
mode. Keys 0 to F are valid while in HEX mode. Hex mode will be
forced regardless of switch position if the label is currently undefined by
ARINC specs. or is a label not supported in ENG mode (Discrete Data,
Maintenance Data, etc.). Keys 0 to 7 are valid for LABEL entry since all
labels are entered in octal format. The 0 and 1 keys allow clearing and
setting, respectively, bits of discrete bit screens (SDI, SSM, RF
management labels, frequency discretes & individual bit screens, etc.)
and turning various modes on and off (i.e. slew ALTERNATE).
Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems Operation Manual
429 EX - Rev. 0 – April 26, 2006 - Page 3-5
(14) LAB/DAT Key
Allows operator to select either LABEL mode or DATA mode of display.
LABEL mode displays octal number and engineering definition of labels
being transmitted or received. DATA mode allows viewing of data of the
currently selected label being transmitted or received.
(15) EDIT/DEL Key
Allows operator access to the data entry mode. If in the data entry
mode, the DEL keys allows correction of errors during data entry.
(16) ON/OFF Key
Turns unit ON and OFF
(17) ENT Key
This key has several functions, dependent on which mode the unit is in.
DATA ENTRY MODE. Used to complete an entry sequence. Until the
ENT key is pressed, an entry may be edited with the DEL key. If an
entry is not allowed for some reason (out of range, illegal key), the old
data will be retained.
TX MODE. Resets the TX timer counters of each active slot to their initial
value. This allows the TX labels to be synchronized in their output order
if all have the same word rate. They will be sent out in descending TX
slot order (10 thru 1). For example, the user wants to simulate a LRU
that transmits 6 labels in bursts 100 ms. apart. The user would enter
the first label in the group in the TX slot 10 with a word rate of 100. The
second label would go in the TX slot 9 with a word rate of 100. This
would continue for the remaining labels with the last label of the group
being entered in TX slot 5. Once all the data has been entered correctly
and the user is ready to synchronize the labels, he(she) should press the
ENT key. There will be no visible indication that anything has occurred,
but the words have been synchronized and are being transmitted in
bursts of 6, 100 ms apart. If any data is changed later, the ENT key
should be pressed again to resynchronize the words.
RX MODE. If in trap mode and the current screen is the word trapped
count screen and there are valid words trapped, pressing the ENT key
will initiate a printer dump sequence. If a printer is not connected to the
429EX or is off line, the 429EX will indicate this for 2 seconds and abort
the print sequence. NOTE: The LED's will blink erratically and the
keypad will be disabled during the print dump. This is normal and should
be ignored. To abort a print sequence just turn the unit off since the data
will still be valid on restoration of power.
(18) Battery Charging Jack
Allows the internal NiCad batteries to be charged by connecting to the
battery charger furnished with the 429EX.
CAUTION
To avoid possible damage to the battery charger, it is recommended that
you do NOT have the charger connected to the wall outlet when
connecting or disconnecting the charging plug to the 429EX.
(19) D/D.O. Key
EDIT MODE. While in the EDIT mode, this key allows the hexadecimal
value "D" to be entered.
Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems Operation Manual
429 EX - Rev. 0 – April 26, 2006 - Page 3-6
RX MODE. Pressing this key when trap mode is first activated (before
entering the Trap Label) will activate the DATA ONLY trap mode. This
mode expands the trap capacity to 511 words, however, no label or rate
information is stored. This means that the user must enter a trap label
when prompted. This mode will be cleared when trap mode is turned off.
(20) E/EQID Key
EDIT MODE. While in the EDIT mode, this key allows the hexadecimal
value "E" to be entered.
NON EDIT MODE. While in any mode other than edit mode, pressing
this key will display the Equipment Identifier screen. This may than be
edited using the normal edit procedure. Up to 2 hex characters may be
entered. Pressing this key again or any other mode control key will clear
this screen. The Equipment Identifier is used by the 429EX to determine
which ARINC definition to use for the received and transmitted labels
when displaying and entering data.
(21) F/FILT Key
EDIT MODE. While in the EDIT mode, this key allows the hexadecimal
value "F" to be entered.
RX MODE. On/Off control for the FILTER mode. Pressing the ENT key
for any of the prompted parameters will cause a don't care to be used for
that parameter.

3.3 OPERATING EXAMPLE
The following section is a series of instructions designed to guide the user through some of the features
of the 429EX.
NOTE
For consistency sake, these instructions will use four ARINC labels throughout. The user is free to
configure additional labels if desired. These labels are as follows:
033 ILS FREQUENCY
034 VOR FREQUENCY
035 DME FREQUENCY
102 SEL ALTITUDE
The 429EX features are designed to allow greater flexibility when working with ARINC 429 data buses.
These features are outlined below.
1. Expanded screen displays of data and information.
2. User definable Equipment ID codes.
3. Labels defined to ARINC 429-11 Air Transport specifications.
4. Data slewing or ramping capabilities.
5. Positive or negative slewing.
6. Non-volatile memory that stores previously entered information when protection feature is
turned on.
7. Additional, expanded selective trap capabilities.
8. Dynamic display of slewed and ramped data.
9. Individual display and control of bits 11 to 29.
10. Separate screens for SDI and SSM.
11. Non-volatile memory for RX and TRAP mode.
3.3.1 TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS
3.3.1.1 Entering Transmit Labels and Protecting Data
1. Turn ON the 429EX. The unit will automatically perform a self test and enter the transmit mode if the
self test is successful. To clear the transmitter, if it contains any previously stored labels, press the TRAP
key until the display indicates NOT PROTECTED. Then turn the unit OFF for 5 seconds and back ON.
2. Press the TRAP key for PROTECTED or NOT PROTECTED data mode. When data is NOT
PROTECTED, it will not be retained in the units memory when it is turned off. Set unit to PROTECTED.
3. Press the UP ARROW key (the UP and DN ARROW keys are also referred to as SCROLL keys). TX 1
INACTIVE shall appear on the display. This indicates that transmitter slot #1 is currently inactive.
4. Press the EDIT/DEL key. LABEL ? __ shall appear on the display, which is the prompt to enter a 3-digit
octal label. Enter the first label of the example (033) by pressing the appropriate keys and completing the
entry by pressing the ENTER key. To correct an error when entering a label, simply press the EDIT/DEL
key prior to pres sing the ENTER key and re-enter the correct label. 033 ILS FREQ shall now appear on
the display. You can view the default data for this label by depressing the LAB/DAT key. This key acts
as a toggle to select between either LABEL or DATA information. To scroll through the data, use the
UP/DOWN ARROW keys. This step is the same for all future labels to be entered. To clear the
transmitter slot, edit the label number and enter 0.
Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems Operation Manual
429 EX - Rev. 0 – April 26, 2006 - Page 3-8
5. Press the LAB/DAT key and return to the label screen (033 ILS FREQ). Press the UP ARROW key to
scroll to the TX 2 INACTIVE display. Press the EDIT/DEL key and enter label 034 (034 VOR FREQ)
in transmitter slot #2. Repeat this procedure and enter LABEL 035 (035 DME FREQ) in transmitter slot
#3.
6. Press the UP ARROW key to scroll to the TX 4 INACTIVE display. Press the EDIT/DEL key and enter
label 102 (102 SEL ALTITUDE). The following sequence will slew and ramp the data within a selected
non-RF label. For demonstration purposes, we will limit this to label 102.
NOTE
For all data entry that follows it will be necessary for the user to follow the previous sequence of
depressing the appropriate keys such as EDIT/DEL and ENT as well as the scroll keys to access all
of the data displays for editing.
A) Depress LAB/DAT key. Depress the UP ARROW key as required until SLEW=00000 appears on the
display.
B) SLEW defines the value that the data will change by. Enter 100 Ft. (EDIT - 100 - ENT).
C) Scroll to MAX=65520. This is the default limit in the ARINC specification truncated to 12 bits. Enter
10000 Ft. (EDIT - 10000 - ENT).
D) Scroll to MIN=00000 and enter 9000 Ft. (EDIT - 9000 - ENT). The display will now indicate
MIN=08992 instead of MIN=9000. This is due to the program using only the first 12 bits of significant
data (bits 28 to 17). Other bits are truncated and this results in a resolution of 8 Ft. for limit checking for
this label.
E) Scroll to SLEW ALT OFF. To turn this feature on, simply press the EDIT/DEL key and enter 1 (1 turns
ALT ON and 0 turns ALT OFF). When SLEW ALTERNATING is on, slewing will continuously occur
bi-directionally, reversing itself when upper and lower limits are reached. When this feature is off, slewing
will occur in only one direction, up/down, positive/negative.
F) Scroll to the next screen and there will be a dynamic display of the slewing from 9000 Ft. to 10000 Ft.
up and down in increments of 100 Ft.
G) Scroll to the rate screen and RATE = 100 MS. Enter 500 (MS) to slow the updating speed for
additional visibility.
H) Scroll to the SDI screen which will display SDI = 00. Edit as required.
I) Scroll to the SSM screen which will display SSM = 11 / NORM, which is the ARINC default norm for this
label. Edit the SSM to 00 and watch the display change to SSM = 00 / FAIL. Re-edit to 11 and the SSM
returns to normal.
J) Scroll once more to return to the SLEW screen. Press LAB/DAT key to return to the label screen.
NOTE
When entering data, it is possible to view and turn on or off individual bits 11 to 29. To access this
feature, press the LAB/DAT key to go to the DATA mode and move the display switch from ENG to HEX.
Then scroll until the desired bit is reached. Edit each bit individually with 0 for off and 1 for on.
K) Press the TX/RX key to go to the receiver mode.
Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems Operation Manual
429 EX - Rev. 0 – April 26, 2006 - Page 3-9
3.3.2 RECEIVER FUNCTIONS
3.3.2.1 Normal Receiver Mode
The Normal Receiver Mode (default) is the basic receiver mode of operation for the 429EX. It will display
all labels and their data dynamically as they are being received.
1. To use the receiver port for this example, it is necessary to loop the unit to itself by connecting the
transmitter port to the receiver port. In this manner you will see displayed the four labels entered
previously on the transmitter side.
NOTE
If there are any labels trapped in the memory of the 429EX, they will annunciate on the screen. To clear
the memory, press the TRAP key if XXX TRAP WORDS appears, or the F/FILT key if XX FILTERED
WORDS appears.
2. Once this is accomplished, the display will indicate 4 RX LABELS.
3. To view the labels, press the appropriate ARROW key in the direction you wish to scroll. You will see
displayed the four labels entered; 033 ILS FREQ, 034 VOR FREQ, 035 DME FREQ, and 102 SEL
ALTITUDE.
4. To view data, depress the LAB/DAT key. For this exercise, we will view label 102.
5. Label 102 will display data that is being slewed at the rate of 100 Ft. every 500 ms as was previously
programmed (place the Display switch in the ENG position).
6. Scrolling through the data will sequentially display RATE, SDI and SSM.
7. By switching the unit from the ENG mode to the HEX mode it is possible to scroll through the data
mode and individually view bits 11 through 29. These bits can also be viewed and edited individually
on the transmitter side.
3.3.2.2 Filter Mode
The Filter Mode is used whenever you wish to display only those labels and/or SDI's that you are
interested in. All other words on the bus will be ignored and not displayed.
1. Press the F/FILT key. Enter label 035 at the LABEL ? XXX prompt and press the ENT key. Press the
ENT key at the SDI ? XX prompt. The unit will now filter on label 035 (with any SDI pattern), if it is
being received, and display it. This mode strips all irrelevant words from the received data for the sought
after combination.
2. This label and its data can now be viewed as in the Normal Receive Mode.
3. To clear the Filter Mode and return to the Normal Receiver Mode, press the F/FILT key.
Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems Operation Manual
429 EX - Rev. 0 – April 26, 2006 - Page 3-10
3.3.2.3 Normal Trap Mode
The Normal Trap Mode is used whenever it is desired to examine the next 255 words being received by
the unit without regard to their label or data content. In this mode, each word occurrence is recorded with
the time that has elapsed since the previous word being stored as the rate.
1. Press the TRAP key. The unit will display TRAP LABEL? XXX. Press the ENT key. The unit will
display DATA ? XXXXXX. Press the ENT key a second time. The unit will display TRIG LABEL? XXX.
Press the ENT key a third time. The unit will display DATA ? XXXXXX. Press the ENT key a fourth time
and the unit will begin trapping.
2. To view the trapped words, press the appropriate ARROW key. To auto-scroll, press the C/AUTO key
and the display will automatically display one label approximately every second. You can reverse the
scroll direction by using the opposite ARROW key. The display will show the number of the trapped
word. To stop auto-scroll, depress the C/AUTO key again.
3. By holding down either ARROW key, it is possible to speed up the sequence to reach a specific label
more quickly.
4. To clear the trap memory, depress the TRAP key and the unit will return to receiving 4 labels only
(normal receive mode).
3.3.2.4 Label/Data Only Trap Mode
The Label/Data Only Trap Mode is used whenever you wish to examine only one particular label. While it
has the added benefit of storing more words than the Normal Trap Mode (511 vs. 255), the time between
words is not kept track of (rate display always indicates 0).
1. Press the TRAP key, then the D/D.O. key and watch the display momentarily flash DATA ONLY. The
unit is now set up to trap one label 511 times. To complete the process, enter 102 at the TRAP LABEL ?
prompt. Then press the ENT key following each of the DATA ? XXXXXX, TRIG LABEL? XXX and DATA
? XXXXXX screens until the unit displays the TRAP WORDS screen and starts to trap. The unit will trap
label 102, 511 times (which is being transmitted at the rate of 500 ms). It is possible to start viewing
individual labels while the unit is still trapping by scrolling to the first few labels trapped. This does not
interfere with the unit, which will continue to trap incoming words.
NOTE
When using the Label/Data Only trap mode, it is necessary to enter a label number (not just press the
ENT key), as this mode traps off of the label it is searching for.
2. Once the unit is finished trapping, it is possible to scroll through each trapped word and view them
individually. By pressing the LAB/DAT key and then the C/AUTO key, you can view label 102 which was
trapped as it slewed from 9000 Ft. to 10000 Ft. It is also possible to view all data on each individual word
trapped, including bits 11 to 29, SDI, SSM, etc.
3. To clear the trap memory and return to the Normal Receive Mode, press the TRAP key.
3.3.2.5 Data Trap Mode
The Data Trap Mode is useful when you wish to find a particular data pattern. It will search through all
received words looking for and recording each match that it finds.
1. Press the TRAP key and then the ENT key at the TRAP LABEL? XXX prompt.
Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems Operation Manual
429 EX - Rev. 0 – April 26, 2006 - Page 3-11
2. Enter the data you wish trapped at the DATA ? XXXXXX prompt. For purposes of our example, enter
627100 (which represents 10000 Ft. in label 102 which is being transmitted and simultaneously slewing
from 9000 Ft. to 10000 Ft.) and press the ENT key.
3. The next screen will display CARES ? XXXXXX. It is now necessary to enter 7FFFFF, which will mask
parity off to allow the unit to search for specific data without regard to the parity bit, and press the ENT
key to complete the entry.
CARES is a 24 bit hex mask to determine if a bit in the data word will be checked for status. This function
is particularly useful for trapping block data protocols such as Williamsburg Protocol, Bite Memory
Transfer or Alpha-numeric messages. It is also useful for monitoring a bus for a specific flag such as an
autopilot armed flag, where a specific bit in a specific word arms an autopilot and it is necessary to
determine when this event occurs.
In the example we have used, we are searching for a specific data field and the CARES function is
masked by the entry of 7FFFFF. Some useful cares patterns follow:
7FFFFF = Masks parity off and allows for checking all bits in the
data field. In other words, it CARES about bits 9 through
31 and DOESN'T CARE about bit 32.
000003 = SDI bits 9 & 10 will be checked.
600003 = SSM and SDI bits only checked (bits 31 & 32 and 9 & 10).
4. At the TRIG LABEL? XXX prompt, press the ENT key to advance to the DATA ? XXXXXX screen.
Press the ENT key again.
5. The unit will now look for a data pattern of 627100 only and trap only those words it receives with this
data. It may take a few moments for the first word to be received. As soon as the first word is received, it
is possible to view the word by scrolling to it and viewing the data by pressing the LAB/DATA key. The
word should be 102 SEL ALTITUDE with a data display of 10000 FEET. By selecting HEX on the Display
switch, the display should indicate 102 00 627100 11. 102 indicates the label in octal, 00 indicates the
SDI (bits 10 & 9) in binary, 627100 indicates the entire data field (bits 32 through 9) in hex and 11
indicates the SSM (bits 31 & 30) in binary.
6. To turn off the Data Trap Mode and return to the Normal Receiver Mode, press the TRAP key.
3.3.2.6 Trigger Trap Mode
The Trigger Trap Mode is used to trap a string of data (up to 255 words) that begins on the first word
received following either a particular label and/or a particular data pattern.
1. Press the TRAP key and then the ENT key twice. At the TRIG LABEL? XXX prompt, enter 102 and
press the ENT key to complete the entry. At the DATA ? XXXXXX prompt, enter 627100 (which
represents 10000 Ft. in label 102 which is being transmitted and simultaneously slewing from 9000 Ft. to
10000 Ft.) and press the ENT key. At the CARES ? XXXXXX prompt, enter 7FFFFF to mask the parity
bit, and press the ENT key.
2. After the information is entered, the screen will display TRIGGER IS ARMED and the unit will wait until
it receives this data. Once a match occurs, the unit will go into the normal trap mode and it will trap the
next 255 words following the trigger word. The first word in this example should be label 035 which has
the fastest word rate (100 ms).
Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems Operation Manual
429 EX - Rev. 0 – April 26, 2006 - Page 3-12
3. The trapped words can then be viewed in the normal manner by scrolling. The second word should be
034 VOR FREQ followed by 033 ILS FREQ. Label 102 will only be seen in the string very sparingly, as
its rate was set earlier at 500 ms.
4. To turn off the Trigger Trap Mode and return to the Normal Receiver Mode, press the TRAP key.
3.3.3 CHANGING EQUIPMENT ID CODES
The 429EX has the capability to change the Engineering Units conversion for those labels that have
multiple Equipment ID codes (EQID) defined by ARINC Specification 429-11 (Attachment 2). This will
allow those labels with multiple definitions to be read properly and conveniently in the ENG mode. For
simplicity, JcAir Test Systems has arbitrarily chosen 00 (which is actually a non-ARINC defined code) as
the default Equipment ID for the 429EX. Refer to Appendix A of this manual to determine the default
definition for each label.
IMPORTANT
EQID 00 is the code to which the unit will default when first turned on unless the code has been
previously changed and the unit turned off while in the PROTECTED mode. Entering an EQID for any
label other than those listed in Appendix A will cause the default EQID (00) to be used.
1. With the unit in the TX mode, scroll through the transmitter slots until the display indicates 035 DME
FREQ.
2. Press the E/EQID key and the unit will display EQPMT ID = 00.
3. Press the EDIT/DEL key and unit will display EQPMT ID ?. Enter 06 (06 is the Equipment ID used for
ARINC 706 Air Data Systems) and press the ENT key.
4. The unit will now display label 035 as 035 BARO (IN). With the Display switch set to the ENG position,
the data for label 035 will be presented as Barometric Altitude in Inches of Mercury, rather than DME
Frequency in MHz as before. Note that label 034 has also been changed and it now displays 034 BARO
(MB).
5. To return to the original Equipment ID code, simply use the same steps to enter 00.
The 429EX changes the definition of all labels that are defined in ARINC Specification 429-11
(Attachment 2) with the same Equipment ID. In the above example, the definitions identified with an ID of
06 would be desirable when working with Air Data Systems. It is also possible to change the ID codes
while in the receiver mode by following the same sequence.
NOTE
Some ARINC labels, such as 077, do not have designated ID codes. To access these labels, JcAIR Test
Systems has assigned a special EQID code of FF.

SECTION IV - THEORY OF OPERATION
4.1 GENERAL CIRCUIT THEORY
The Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems Model 429EX, ARINC 429 single channel transmitter and receiver
consists of three board level sub assemblies and a battery pack. The three boards are:
1) Display Board (JPN: 20-6782-10)
2) Digital Board (JPN: 20-6784-10)
3) Analog Board (JPN: 20-6783-00)
4.1.1 DISPLAY BOARD
The Display board performs the human interface function for the 429EX. It has three major sections of
circuitry:
1) Display circuits
2) Keypad circuits
3) Slide Switch circuits
The Display circuits output data in visual form. The display circuit consists of the liquid crystal display
(DS1). The Keypad switches allow data to be input to the unit. The keypad circuits consist of 23
momentary contact switches (S1 - S23). The switches are arranged in an X/Y matrix and are decoded by
the firmware on the digital board. The slide switches allow various I/O information (Parity, TX Baud, etc.)
to be changed and to turn the unit on and off. The slide switch circuits consist of 5 SPST slide switches
(S24 - S28) and various discrete components (resistors, transistors and capacitors).
4.1.2 DIGITAL BOARD
The Digital board contains the digital circuitry for the 429EX. This circuitry has three major sections:
1) Control circuits
2) 429 Receive Buffer
3) 429 Generator
The Control circuits are the "Heart" of the system that controls and monitors all other circuits in the
system. The control circuits consist of the following components:
1) Microcontroller
(U1)
2) Firmware EPROM
(U2)
3) RAM
(U3)
4) Address Latch
(U4)
5) RAM IO
(U5)
The control circuits monitor the number of "bits" received and upon completion, will read the receive
buffer.
The 429 Receive buffer stores the 429 bit stream data (Converted to TTL levels by the Analog board).
The following components make up the 429 receive buffer.
1) Bit Latch
(1/2 U8)
2) Serial Register
(1/2 U6)
3) Mux
(U14)
Aeroflex JcAIR Test Systems Operation Manual
429 EX - Rev. 0 – April 26, 2006 - Page 4-1
The 429 Generator circuits send TTL level bit stream data to the Analog board, where it is converted to
the correct levels for output. The Generator is loaded and started by the Control circuits. The Generator
consists of the following components:
1) Digital drivers
(U9)
2) Serial Register
(1/2 U6)
3) Baud Clock/Bit Counter
(U5)
4) Driver Enable
(1/2 U8)
4.1.3 ANALOG BOARD
The Analog board contains the analog circuitry for the 429EX. This circuitry has three major sections:
1) Power Circuits
2) 429 Receiver
3) 429 Driver
The Power circuits supply power to the system from one of two sources. If the battery charger is
disconnected, the circuits supply power to the system from the battery pack. The battery voltage is
monitored by the power circuits. Should the voltage drop to an insufficient level it is the power circuits
that will indicate this to the Control circuits. An indication of low power will be seen on the display board
should the aforementioned conditions exist. If the charger is connected, the power circuits will supply
power to the system from the charger and will also trickle charge the NiCad batteries. The power circuits
of the following components:
1) Low Drop Out Regulator
(U5)
2) Voltage converter
(U6)
3) Monitor
(U7)
The 429 Receiver circuits convert ARINC 429 RZ transmitted signals form 10V levels (between A & B) to
TTL level signals for use by the 429 Receiver Buffer on the Digital board. The 429 receiver circuits
consist of a Comparator and a number of discrete components. The 429 driver circuits convert the TTL
level signal from the digital board into 10V (between A and B) ARINC 429 compatible signal levels.
The 429 Driver circuits consist of the following components:
1) "1" Driver
(U2, Q1, Q2)
2) "0" Driver
(U3, Q3, Q4)
3) Speed Switch
(U1)
The battery Pack supplies power to the system and consists of the following components:
1) Battery Holder
2) Six (6) "AA" NiCad rechargeable batteries.

NOTES:
1. Default (EQID 00) label definitions shown in BOLD.
2. Ranges shown are those specified by ARINC Specification 429-11 (Attachment 2) and are provided for
reference only. The 429EX does not perform range checking to prevent over or under range entries. The
user should insure that the ranges entered are within limits when making entries in the TX mode.
3. When in the TX mode, if you change the EQID after the label has been entered, you must reenter the
label in order for the unit to revert to the default data and rate values of the new EQID. Otherwise, the
values previously entered will be maintained.
4. These labels contain certain EQID codes that are referred TO by ARINC Specification 429-11
(Attachment 2) as being defined by other ARINC specifications. The 429EX label definition table does
not support these codes.
