Communications Technologies Training System - Model 8087
- Provides hands-on, system-level training in communications technologies.
- Reflects the standards commonly/ used in modern communications systems.
- Flexible, future-proofed, open system using a high performance DSP-based Reconfigurable Training Module (RTM) with slots for up to three plug-in interface modules.
- Two plug-in interface modules are included: the Data Acquisition Interface and the Analog/Digital Output Interface.
- The Windows®-based Lab-Volt Communications Technologies (LVCT) software provides the user interface and configures the RTM to implement the communications technology selected by the user.
- A variety of communications technology applications (provided on CD-ROMs) allow studying many different communications technologies. Additional applications can be added at any time.
- Applications include on-screen block diagrams of circuits with numerous Test Points and/or Test Busses for connecting virtual instruments.
- The LVCT software includes a number of virtual instruments: an Oscilloscope, a Logic Analyzer, a Spectrum Analyzer, and a True RMS Voltmeter (depending on the application). The ADSL application provides two constellation Viewers.
- Software configurable function generators and clock generators are included in the applications where required. These generators generate real electrical signals made available at physical connectors on the RTM.
- The system is complete and self-contained – no additional equipment (other than a computer) is required to perform the exercises in the manuals.
- BNC connectors and Test Points loops are provided on the RTM for connecting conventional instruments, if desired, with protection against incorrect connections.
- The ADSL application includes provision for exporting and importing tables of data in a MATLAB®-compatible format.
- Fault-insertion capability allows the teaching of troubleshooting.
- Comprehensive courseware provides theory and step-by-step laboratory procedures for each technology.
