The Sabtech Swift X-PAK provides everything needed to connect typical notebook computers to MIL-STD-1397C NTDS systems. With the Swift X-PAK, it’s easy to create portable emulators, simulators/stimulators, data collection systems, passive taps, or analysis tools.

Installation is easy. Just install the Swift X-PAK Card Bus interface into the PC Card (PCMCIA) slot of your portable computer, connect the cable and power it up. Install the Windows NT/2000 device drivers* for the embedded NTDS interfaces and the system is ready to go. Because it uses Sabtech’s standard Swift PCI NTDS boards, even existing applications can now be made portable with little or no software changes. If your NTDS system requires high performance in a small package, the Swift X-PAK is the solution.
