Universal Receiver Tester
Version 5.0 Features

URT version 5.0 is the most comprehensive turnkey platform available for GPS receiver testing and design validation.

This release builds on features to greatly simplify GPS receiver testing from design validation to production. Read how new features for point-and-click scenario-creation, real-time TMC events, and 12-satellite constellation simulation can help you reduce field testing.

What's new in 5.0

  • NAVASIM Toolkit for advanced navigation testing
  • G-SIM Toolkit for advanced GPS simulation
  • Enhancements to Basic GPS Constellation Toolkit
  • New Graphical User Interface

Tools for GPS Design Validation

NAVASIM NAVigation Advanced SIMulator

This unique simulator brings GPS receiver validation testing to a new level. With NAVASIM, the operator can create complex driving scenarios using a dynamic car model with built-in maps from TeleAtlas and enabled by Telogis SDK. Traffic Message Channel (TMC) events can be generated easily using location tables, in order to test GPS navigation and TMC simultaneously. For testing additional functionalities such as a CAN bus or rotary table, APIs for LabVIEW and C/C++ are available, expanding the capabilities of NAVASIM.

G-SIM Advanced GPS Constellation Simulator

A perfect complement to NAVASIM for GPS validation testing, G-SIM simulates a GPS L1 C/A constellation of up to 12 satellites and allows the user to define constellation parameters: satellite selection, satellite power, and enabling ionospheric and tropospheric delays. Ephemeris files and almanac files can be used for further testing flexibility.

Enhancements to GPS Constellation Manufacturing Test Simulator

URT 5.0 brings performance and usability improvements to the GPS Constellation Manufacturing Test Simulator, strengthening GPS simulation. Thorough production testing can now be performed with greater flexibility using this 12-satellite L1 C/A GPS constellation simulator.

New Graphical User Interface

Similar to a box instrument interface, the new GUI has indicators and menus in an efficient console, making it easier to use and more ergonomic, and offering a higher level of uniformity between functions.
