November 13th, 2006

The Universal Radio Tester (URT) generates analog and digital radio signals such as AM, FM, RDS, XM®, Sirius®, HD Radio® (IBOC) and Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB). The URT uses National Instruments LabVIEW, TestStand, and the latest PXI modular instruments, consists of a PXI chassis, an embedded PXI controller and the PXI-5671 2.7 GHz RF vector signal generator. Options for the URT include an audio analyzer for testing the audio outputs of the radio and a Controller Area Network (CAN) interface for controlling automotive radios.

The URT includes an intuitive interface for use as a stand-alone instrument and a library of function calls to control the generator remotely. Example programs and custom TestStand step types are included at no cost. The URT is software-based and can be upgraded to support future protocols. The URT is available now from Mindready.
