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.

Ruggedized Small-Size Telemetry System, Requiring Laptop for Display and Control
LS-84-EC
The Lumistar LS-84-EC “Economy Chassis” Telemetry System offers a low cost, high performance COTS solution for a portable quick look ground/remote/airborne station. The unit has a built-in computer running Windows 10 (WIN 7 option) for stand-alonecontrol or can be controlled remotely over TCP/IP. Using Lumistar’s PCI-based or modular line of telemetry products, acomplete telemetry ground station can be configured in a very small space. Functions such as RF reception, demodulation, bitsynchronization, simulation, frame sync, decom, data archive and real-time display can all be handled in this unit. Data can bearchived on an internal solid state drive or external serial ATA or USB 2.0 drive. A laptop using a network connection providesremote control and access to real-time displays. The I/O connections from individual PCI cards are hardwired internally within the chassis, thus allowing a bulkhead mount configuration on the rear panel of the chassis.

16 or 32 channel Digital to Analog Converter
LS-71-P
The LS-71P PCI D/A Converter (DAC) board provides high speed analog outputs of PCM decommutated data allowing real time data displays using strip chart recorders or similar devices. The LS-71-P board is designed to be used in conjunction with the Lumistar LS-50-P Multifunction PCM Decommutator boards and uses an over-the-top communication bus directly from the decom to the DAC to avoid any glitches in the analog outputs due to PCI bus activity. Direct “mailbox” type access is also provided to allow the user to send information through the PCI bus to the DACs. The DAC board design allows 2 LS-50-D Multifunction decom boards to be used with a single DAC board allowing tagged data from either data stream to be directed to any DAC channel. An optional LS-71-DB Word Selector Daughterboard allows two additional data streams to be monitored with the ability to select channels from 4 data streams to be displayed on any DAC channel. The design incorporates an extremely large memory (more than 200,000 16-bit words) used as a lookup table allowing linear or non-linear EUconversions with constant delay regardless of the number of polynomial coefficients required. Standard product supports a single decom, however, dual decom support is available as an option.

Dual Channel Multi-function Decommutator
LS-55-DD
The Lumistar LS-55-DD PCI Dual Multi-function PCM Decommutator offers two multifunction decoms and two optional bit synchronizers (LS-45) in a single PCI card slot. The multi-function decoms are implemented in FPGA using a next generation design based on the LS-50-P. The simulators,decommutators, time code reader and time code generator are achieved on the main board and the bit synchronizer is achieved through a low-profile daughterboard. CVSD voice, h.261 video, and IRIG Chapter 8 decoding are achieved through software.

Telemetry Simulators & Test Transmitters
Command Data Telemetry Simulators offer a dynamic way to create or change a PCM data stream on a word by word basis on the fly. This PCM data stream can be used to modulate an FM or SOQPSK RF output at S-Band or L-Band. In addition to simulating a new telemetry stream, the telemetry simulators can play back and loop an archived data file (which can also be changed on the fly) or create pseudo-random patterns.
