Its reasonable to assume there are multiple data buses (redundant) on 777, right?
My question is more on how 429 standard works (I misplaced the grey-cover a long time ago)...as I understand it, you have one main data bus on which all talkers transmit in 32-bit(?) words with something like a 6-bit label.
Now, would I be correct in assuming the AIMS cabinet is one of the few listeners, or is it common for other systems to not have their data relayed through the AIMS? I deal with crash recorders and QARs (so I have virtually no idea of how *modern* comm. standards work). Do you know if the AIMS also performs the function of compiling and formatting the data for the recording systems?
Maybe an answer would be more succinct if I asked, "What doesn't the AIMS do?"
