LabSat 4 can record data including dual CAN bus, CAN FD, RS232 and digital signals. Recorded data is tightly synchronised to GNSS signals, allowing for realistic recreation of wheel-speed and gyro data in applications such as telematics development.

The ability to synchronise additional data streams is particularly useful in the development of automotive, autonomous vehicle and fleet management systems

A Video VBOX can be used in combination with LabSat to record synchronised video of the test route. This helps to identify the effect of external conditions on your device, such as why there was a drop-out or multi-path reflection at a particular point in the test, and what caused it?

SatGen is our GNSS simulation software that allows you to create custom scenarios at any time, date and location of your choosing. Simply draw a route in Google Maps, build a trajectory using user-defined commands or upload an NMEA, KML or VBO File and SatGen will generate a GNSS scenario of that route.

SatGen is ideal when you need to test your device in locations you are unable to visit. You can add timed stops along the way to simulate route stops such as stations, and create specific scenarios to test passenger information systems.

Your scenario can also include the crossing of time zones, leap seconds or roll-overs to test how your device would perform in these conditions.

The dynamic nature of GNSS constellations and environmental variances bring a lack of consistency and repeatability to live-sky test programmes.

By using a LabSat to record live-sky signals in an environment representative of the most challenging locations – like an urban downtown street with an obscured view of the sky and multi-path interference – you can test your device accurately and consistently with a realistic scenario.

Additionally, LabSat’s Application Programming Interface (API) provides control and testing automation as scenarios can be programmed to automatically repeat or play in a set order. This improves efficiency by allowing significant testing programmes to be run continuously, without the need of human supervision.
