Lumistar Inc.
Lumistar designs and manufactures telemetry products for the flight test and antenna tracking communities. Board level products are manufactured with PCI, PCIe, cPCI bus interfaces as well as continuing support of ISA and VME legacy products. Lumistar products are also available without a PC interface or require an OS to operate. Serial, USB or Ethernet interfaces are used for control. Well documented application software with example code allows users to write their own applications for integration of Lumistar products into their telemetry systems.

Product
PCI Single Channel Multi-Band Down Converter (ISA and VME Legacy Versions Available)
LS-25-D
-
Lumistar offers single PCI slot multi-band FM receivers. The same product in a “drive Bay” configuration is available. All Lumistar FM receivers can come without the FM demodulator use as antenna tracking receivers or for use as down converters used with an IF receiver for multi-mode digital combining and demodulation. Dual channel versions are also available.

Product
Compact PCI Multi-function Decommutator
LS-50-cP
-
The Lumistar LS-50-cP 3U Compact PCI Multi-function PCM Decommutator offers the greatest flexibility in the industry by incorporating up to 10 functions typically encountered in flight test applications in a single 3U Compact-PCI card slot. Five functions are achieved on the main board (PCM Simulator which can also operate as a BERT, PCM Decommutator, IRIG Time CodeReader, IRIG Time Code Generator, and the same 5 functions can be achieved on the LS-55-DB Multi-Function Decom Daughterboard. CVSD Voice Decoding and h.261 Video Decoding are achieved through software.

Dynamic Data Simulator
LS-70-S
-
The Lumistar LS-70-S PCI Dynamic Data Simulator allows complex data streams to be generated for evaluation of bit synchronizers and PCM decommutator performance. It can also be used for uplink command generation to vehicles in flight, checkout of complete telemetry links, and playback of archived hard drive data in any format with the appropriate dll. The PCI board is only 7 inches long and contains the dynamic simulator and IRIG Time Code Generator.

1U Quad Bit Sync for Data Rates up to 40 Mbps
LS-44-QBS
-
The LS-44-QBS contains up to 4 Lumistar LS-40-DB25 Bit Synchronizer Daughterboards in a 1U RackMount chassis with status lights on the front panel and all interconnections through the rear. The design contains an internal computer which runsoff DOS or Windows depending on the version selected. The DOS version boots quickly without the delays required for Windows startup. The Windows version offers networking. The unit can be connected directly to the optional 1U slideout keyboard/display, for setup resulting in only 2U of total rack height. For applications that require many bit synchronizers, a 1U keyboard/Display with KVM switch allows 32 bit synchronizers in 9U of rack height. When power is applied, the computer will operate with the last configuration unless the operator wishes to change the setup. For setup, the keyboard/display is pulled out and the display is flipped up to monitor the process. When the bit synchronizer setup is completed, the keyboard/display canbe closed up since the status can be monitored on the front panel without an external display.

2nd Generation PCI Multi-function Decommutator
LS-50-D
-
The Lumistar LS-50-D PCI Multi-function PCM Decommutator offers a PCM decom, PCM simulator, time code reader/generator, and optional bit synchronizer in a single short PCI card slot. The multi-function decom and simulator are implemented in FPGA using a next generation design based on the LS-50-P. The simulator, decommutator, time code reader and time code generator are achieved on the main board and the bit synchronizer is achieved through an optional low-profile daughterboard. CVSD voice decoding, h.261 video decoding, and IRIG Chapter 8 decoding are achieved through software.
