OVERVIEW
The MAXBox is a PCI expansion chassis providing to users the power and the flexibility of a complete  desktop databus test and measurement solution in a compact portable unit.
This portable solution provides multi-function interfaces for    MIL-STD-1553, ARINC-429/575 ARINC-561/568, ARINC-629, ARINC-717, ARINC-708, Serial ASYNC, HDLC/SDLC, RS-232/422/485, ASCB, CSDB, Pulse/Freq. Generator, Digital I/O, A/D and D/A devices.
The  MAXBox is a  self  contained test  and  measurement  system with a PCi Express card interface. The unit includes a full size MAX Technologies’ PCI-400 carrier board equipped with up to four single or two  double size industryPack  (IPack) modules and can be connected to any laptop or desktop PC with a PCI Express card interface connector.
The MAXBox operates from an external 110/220 VAC (47-440Hz) supply or by its internal rechargeable battery and provides 4-10 hours of autonomy.
MULTI-FUNCTION I/O SOLUTION
Multiple protocols can run simultaneously on the MAXBOX and all the transmitted and received data packets are time-synchronized to one microsecond precision.IRIG-B signal input is also supported on many configurations..
SOFTWARE SUPPORT
The MX-Foundation library provides high-level abstraction of hardware and allows to easily control mixed protocols and I/O modules on one or multiple carrier boards.
