Lumistar Inc.
Lumistar designs and manufactures telemetry products for the flight test and antenna tracking communities. Board level products are manufactured with PCI, PCIe, cPCI bus interfaces as well as continuing support of ISA and VME legacy products. Lumistar products are also available without a PC interface or require an OS to operate. Serial, USB or Ethernet interfaces are used for control. Well documented application software with example code allows users to write their own applications for integration of Lumistar products into their telemetry systems.

2nd Generation PCIe Multi-function Decommutator
LS-50-E
The Lumistar LS-50-E PCIe Multi-function PCM Decommutator offers a PCM decom, PCM simulator, time code reader/generator, and optional bit synchronizer in a single short PCIe card slot. The multi-function decom and simulator is implemented in FPGA using a next generation design based on the LS-50-P. The simulator, decommutator, time code reader and time code generator are achieved on the main board and the bit synchronizer is achieved through an optional low-profiledaughterboard. CVSD voice decoding, h.261 videodecoding, and IRIG Chapter 8 decoding are achievedthrough software.

Dual Channel Bit Synchronizer for Rates up to 45 Mbps
LS-45-DB
The Lumistar LS-45-DB Dual Channel Bit Synchronizer Daughterboard provides optimal reconstruction of a serial PCM data stream that has been corrupted by noise, phase jitter, amplitude modulation, or base line variations. The all-digitaldesign assures a high performance, consistent product, with excellent reliability and long-term stability. Dual channel design can feed each channel of the LS-55-DD dual decom. The LS-45-DB also has a post D combiner that allows for optimal ratiocombining of the two input signals A unique Built-in-Test feature allows performance verification for the Bit Synchronizer to ensure the highest level of operation. Auto-test BIT is performed for a short duration on the application of power and tests more than 90% of the Bit Synchronizer components. This test verifies that power is properly applied, verifies that there are no internal bit errors, and performs other tests to ensure that the bit synchronizer is fully operational with status indication of results. Command-test BIT performs the same functions and can be initiated by the user at any time through the Lumistar software when used on Lumistar PC products. The user has the ability to generate internal pseudo-random patterns and calculate internal bit error rates with or without the injection of forced errors.Various status indicators are also available through the software. The Bit Synchronizer also contains a BER reader as well as frame sync pattern indicator.

Dual Channel Dynamic Data Simulator
LS-77-SS
The Lumistar LS-77-SS PCI Dual Dynamic Data Simulator with optional bit synchronizer allows two command simulators one bit synchronizer, and a time code reader/generator in a single short PCI board. The two Command Data Simulators and Time Code Reader/Generator are implemented in FPGA using a next generation design based on the LS-70-P. The optional bit synchronizer is achieved using the Lumistar LS-40-DB low-profiledaughterboard.

Ruggedized Small-Size Telemetry System, Requiring Laptop for Display and Control
LS-84-EC
The Lumistar LS-84-EC “Economy Chassis” Telemetry System offers a low cost, high performance COTS solution for a portable quick look ground/remote/airborne station. The unit has a built-in computer running Windows 10 (WIN 7 option) for stand-alonecontrol or can be controlled remotely over TCP/IP. Using Lumistar’s PCI-based or modular line of telemetry products, acomplete telemetry ground station can be configured in a very small space. Functions such as RF reception, demodulation, bitsynchronization, simulation, frame sync, decom, data archive and real-time display can all be handled in this unit. Data can bearchived on an internal solid state drive or external serial ATA or USB 2.0 drive. A laptop using a network connection providesremote control and access to real-time displays. The I/O connections from individual PCI cards are hardwired internally within the chassis, thus allowing a bulkhead mount configuration on the rear panel of the chassis.

16 or 32 channel Digital to Analog Converter
LS-71-P
The LS-71P PCI D/A Converter (DAC) board provides high speed analog outputs of PCM decommutated data allowing real time data displays using strip chart recorders or similar devices. The LS-71-P board is designed to be used in conjunction with the Lumistar LS-50-P Multifunction PCM Decommutator boards and uses an over-the-top communication bus directly from the decom to the DAC to avoid any glitches in the analog outputs due to PCI bus activity. Direct “mailbox” type access is also provided to allow the user to send information through the PCI bus to the DACs. The DAC board design allows 2 LS-50-D Multifunction decom boards to be used with a single DAC board allowing tagged data from either data stream to be directed to any DAC channel. An optional LS-71-DB Word Selector Daughterboard allows two additional data streams to be monitored with the ability to select channels from 4 data streams to be displayed on any DAC channel. The design incorporates an extremely large memory (more than 200,000 16-bit words) used as a lookup table allowing linear or non-linear EUconversions with constant delay regardless of the number of polynomial coefficients required. Standard product supports a single decom, however, dual decom support is available as an option.
