ARINC
1.7A reliable and efficient Java-based software utility designed to help users study the ARINC 661 standard, featuring numerous options
ARINC is a Java-based software application that supplies you with a generic ARINC 661 Server to learn more about such prototypes. It features several advanced settings that should be easy to figure out by experienced users.
Provided that Java is installed on the PC, you can drop the program files to any location on the disk and directly run ARINC. This is also possible when putting the tool on a pen drive or other mass storage device, in order to immediately launch in on any machine with Java installed.
Another important factor worth taking consideration is that the program does not add new entries to the Windows registry or Start menu, thus leaving no traces behind after its removal.
The GUI is rather easy to navigate, based on a large window that integrates an Explorer-based folder structure to allow you to easily navigate files and explore their content.
So, you can open binary DF and XML files to view their graphical representation, create new items and group them by various criteria, change the scale, as well as take a snapshot and export it to an image file.
The project can be saved as an XML or binary file. What's more, you can resort to a search function to locate a particular item, change the background colors and other parameters, create a server, save the configuration and load it later, and so on. Tools for extracting UI default, debugging and editor scripting are available as well.
The software application worked smoothly in our evaluation, without triggering Windows to hang, crash or pop up error messages. CPU and RAM consumption was minimal in our case. All in all, ARINC clearly comes loaded with a lot of handy options and configuration settings for studying the ARINC 661 standard.
