# Ballard MIL-STD-1553 Custom Device



The **Ballard MIL-STD-1553 Custom Device** allows use of [Astronics MIL-STD-1553 PXIe Modules with Ballard Technology](https://www.ni.com/en-us/shop/hardware/products/pxi-mil-std-1553-interface-module.html) in VeriStand. The custom device targets one **core** of a Ballard MIL-STD-1553 PXIe module. To target multiple modules or multiple cores on the same module, use multiple instances of this custom device.



The custom device supports the following functionality:

- Import configuration files via scripting and System Explorer

- LabVIEW scripting of the custom device configuration

- Viewing read-only configuration in System Explorer

- Transmit and Receive configured messages, command words, and status words

   - Scheduled and Acyclic

   - Multiple parameters per message

   - Multiple messages on one or both channels per core

- Log all messages per core (on compatible modules)



## Using the Custom Device



- Download the latest release package from the [Releases page](https://github.com/ni/niveristand-ballard-milStd1553-custom-device/releases).

- See the [User Guide](Docs/User%20Guide/User%20Guide.md) for a walkthrough of using the Custom Device.

- See the [Parameters XML File Schema documentation](Docs/Parameters%20XML%20File/Parameters%20XML%20File.md) for configuring the custom device.



## Requirements



- PXI Linux RT Controller

- Supported Ballard MIL-STD-1553 PXI Module



**Note**: Only NI-keyed PXI modules are supported by the custom device. The part number should have the form `LV-222-###-###`, where `###` stands for the core configuration. **510**, **511**, **550**, and **555** core models are supported. See the mapping between NI and Ballard part numbers on [ni.com](https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/documentation/supplemental/17/astronics-ballard-and-national-instruments-part-number-mapping.html).
