Features CoPilot is the most advanced and comprehensive databus analysis and simulation software available today. It performs the broadest range of tasks and includes a wide variety of powerful and beneficial freatures. Here are just a few: | Auto Discovery of Hardware and Bus Activity
Complicated project setup and configuration are a thing of the past. Each time you start CoPilot, it searches your computer for all connected databus hardware and immediately starts showing databus activity on screen. You are up and running in seconds.
Simultaneous Operation of Multiple Protocols
Whether your project is large or small, simple or complex, CoPilot has you covered. It simultaneously supports MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, ARINC 664/AFDX and ARINC 708 databuses as well as other protocols like serial links and Discrete I/O.
Flexible Data Representation
CoPilot provides multiple ways to view databus activity so you can choose the one most effective for the task at hand: Activity View to see bus topography, graphic controls to observe data in real time, strip charts for a look at how data is changing, tables to examine raw data, and more—the choice is yours.
View and Manipulate Data in Engineering Units
Data analysis is more productive when you can see all the details: feet, knots, degrees, etc. That's why CoPilot translates raw data into clearly understood engineering units using its comprehensive library of industry definitions. You can easily supplement this database with your own definitions and apply to other projects or share with other users. Automated Test Environment (ATE)
 CoPilot is an invaluable tool for production environments as well. The built-in Test Manager delivers a complete solution for test development and test management. Extensive scripting capability and OLE automation provide full control over automated testing and full integration with associated hardware and software components. Powerful Scripting Environment

Global security settings within CoPilot allow you to lock down and password-protect a variety of program features, creating a secure runtime environment. You can allow or restrict user access to configuration settings, data editing, display views, screen layout, test management, proprietary Python code and more.
Sophisticated Graphical Displays
CoPilot graphical displays and virtual instruments provide highly effective ways to view and modify avionics data. From functional radar displays, moving maps or strip charts, to complex reproductions of hardware control panels, CoPilot offers nearly limitless capability to create the working environment you need. Hardware and Software Playback
With CoPilot, you have the option to playback previously recorded databus activity in two ways: through interface hardware right onto the databus in order to test or interact with real equipment; or completely within the software to repeatedly examine data at a readable speed using all of the available displays, graphics, and tools.
Error Injection
CoPilot has the unique ability to inject deliberate and controllable errors onto the databus. These non-standard scenarios, which might include logical, electrical, or parity issues, are useful to determine precisely how systems respond under such circumstances.
Software Licensing that Makes Sense
The CoPilot license was designed to be easy on your business. There are no dongles to lose or expensive site licenses to manage, just a simple software "key" embedded in the Ballard databus interface hardware. You can freely install CoPilot on as many computers as you need for pre-run setup, scripting, or post analysis. When you need to access the live databus, just connect any of these computers to hardware containing a license key.
Learn and Work with Simulated Hardware
When using CoPilot, you have the option of activating demonstration interfaces. This software feature mimics databus interface hardware as if it were attached to the computer. The simulated live data this provides is very useful for learning CoPilot or prototyping new solutions. | And So Much More!
CoPilot is the most comprehensive databus simulation and analysis software on the market today. Its features and capabilities are just too numerous to list here. The best way to discover the power of CoPilot is to try it for yourself. Download the full version of CoPilot right now on the "Get CoPilot" tab. |
Applications CoPilot is a powerful and flexible tool for engineers, developers, maintenance personnel, and others involved with avionics systems and equipment. The list of applications for CoPilot is endless. Here are some examples: | Databus System Troubleshooting & Analysis
There is no better tool than CoPilot to accurately diagnose databus system issues. Combine CoPilot with a Ballard hardware interface to view or record databus activity. You can see and manipulate the protocol data in its raw form, in engineering units, or on graphical controls and charts to precisely pinpoint intermittent problems.
New Software Development
