The streamlined, single-session interface
of the CEI-DL data loader software from GE
Intelligent Platforms provides intuitive Micro-
soft Windows-based ARINC 615-3/603 data
loading across a variety of GE ARINC 429
devices. The single-session software loads
one ARINC 615-3/603 compatible LRU at a
time, allowing for seamless integration into
most traditional aircraft maintenance appli-
cations. Since data sets can be retrieved
from any location accessible by the host
machine (including local and network
drives), the GE data loader eliminates the
need for disk-swapping while providing
improved configuration management.

When combined with GE’s RCEI-715A
PCMCIA or RAR-EC ExpressCard ARINC 429
interface hardware, the easy-to-use single-
session CEI-DL software delivers a powerful
portable solution potentially capable of
streaming upload data via a wireless LAN
connection (user-specific). Designed specifi-
cally for aircraft maintenance applications,
this software presents a simple, intuitive
interface that guides the user through data
set selection and the load process. Most
of the single-session software features
are customizable via an administrator-
controlled configuration file, enabling the
software functionality to be easily tailored to
specific customer applications.

The multi-session interface of the CEI-DL
software from GE is integrated with multiple
hardware platforms to provide Microsoft
Windows-based ARINC 615-3/603 data
loading of operational programs and
database software. Supported on PCI,
CompactPCI, PCI Express, PMC, PC/104, PC/
AT, PCMCIA, and Express Card platforms,
this flexible application software provides
both an easy-to-use portable solution and a
robust, multiple-unit, factory or lab station.
GE’s CEI-DL data loader solution can be used
for development, test, flightline, and mainte-
nance applications. From a straight-forward
GUI interface, our multi-session integrated
hardware/software solution supports up
to 16 simultaneous upload or download
sessions with ARINC 615-3/603 compatible
LRUs. The CEI-DL software also provides
useful data loading features including:
simplified device selection; saving and
restoring session configuration information;
traffic and protocol logging; session-specific
progress and status indicators.
