Easy to Program-- API and Unified Programming Model Reduces TCO. The LGT1410 employs the LibertyGT MSFS Open Standards-based Application Programming Interface (API) that lets users easily develop, share, and re-use PC-based Test Programs and Test Program Sets (TPS) using LabVIEW, TestStand, Python, C, C++, C# or Java. Each and every App and function in the LGT MSFS is accessible from the LGT API. With its Embedded Controller, the LGT1410 eliminates most needs for a standalone Test Executive PC, which greatly simplifies multiple instrument and application test sequencing. And with its SDSI architecture, the LGT1410 provides unique TPS portability, since changes in underlying modules do not affect TPS, which also reduces TCO. The LGT API allows users to locally or remotely (via Ethernet/TCP/IP/VISA) sequence complex measurements and store test results and other data on the system’s SSD, network drive, optional RAID drive(s) directly or via an optional OpenSQL database for further analysis and report generation. For long lifecycle program assurance, LibertyGT MSFS source code escrow and licensing is available for qualified customers.

NI and 3rd Party T&M App Friendly. A unique benefit of the LGT1410 is that its open architecture is compatible with dozens of NI and 3rd Party apps that enable the ready addition of extensive RF T&M capabilities without re-inventing the wheel. See http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/12588 for NI RF and Wireless Test Software. See https://goo.gl/yymMog for the LabVIEW (3rd Party) Tools Network RF Software.

LGT1410B Patent-Pending, PXIe Touchscreen Enclosure with Hinged Front Panel for Ease of Service

LGT1410R with NI PXIe-1085 24 GB/Sec Chassis

PXIe Touchscreen Enclosure Options. The LGT1410B features RADX’ patent-pending, LGTE-RF4 PXIe enclosure with 18-slot, 24 GB/Sec backplane and 1080p HD touchscreen mounted on a unique hinged front panel that is optimized for field service, upgrades and tech insertion at the module level. The LGT1410B also supports a configuration specific RTSA Front Panel, front-to-back cooling with filtered air, a modular power supply and fan assemblies for rapid MTTR and an Internal Connector Panel (ICP) that enables convenient routing of signals from the front to the rear of the enclosure.

The LGT1410R employs a standard NI PXIe-1085 24 GB/Sec PXIe Chassis and includes a RADX-supplied 22” 1080p HD touchscreen and accessories. Both models feature the LibertyGT intuitive, touchscreen GUI that minimizes training requirements and make the LGT1410 ideal for R&D, factory test and deployed spectrum analysis applications.

PXIe and SDSI MSFS Modularity Dramatically Reduces TCO.

Module Level Spares and Tech Insertion-- the LGT1410 is a true modular PXI/PXIe system-- which enables a module-level (versus system-level) approach for spares, repairs, calibration and tech insertion (for enhanced capabilities), all of which dramatically reduce support costs. Using tech insertion, LGT1410 users can add internal RAID subsystems, GPS/IRIG-B, 10GigE or MXI Interfaces, upgrade the VSA to support 40 or 50 GHz, add an RF Sig Gen or other instruments when required.

PXIe and SDSI Eliminates Life-Time-Buys-- The LibertyGT SDSI architecture eliminates hardware dependencies in Apps and Test Programs that, in conventional systems, require costly Life-Time-Buys (LTBs) of obsolete COTS components triggered by End-of-Life (EOL) notices. With the LGT1410, users may replace EOL modules with RADX-qualified modules to accrue substantial savings and extend the life cycle of their instrument fleet by transitioning EOL modules to spares.

Minimize Test Program Maintenance Issues-- The LGT1410’s SDSI architecture and performance optimized Hardware Abstraction Layer isolates Test Programs and TPS from underlying hardware, which reduces TPS maintenance costs due to obsolescence issues, a critical support and TCO cost driver in conventional T&M systems.

Module Level and Station Calibration-- With its modular PXIe architecture, LGT1410 users can employ RADX Station Level Calibration and module-level calibration (factory NI or self), to reduce support costs and minimize downtime.

LibertyGT Modularity Supports Unique Business Model. Because of its PXIe modularity, LibertyGT systems including the LGT1410 are available at levels of integration that meet specific customer needs and capabilities:

• Turnkey, Integrated Systems-- purchased directly from RADX.

• “Kits” or “Software Only”-- where customers purchase RADX qualified PXI/PXIe modules from NI and MSFS (software), value added hardware, integration and support from RADX. This unique approach enables customers to potentially reduce costs by buying modules and software directly from NI, while still preserving RADX as the primary contact for all support and service related issues.
