MindReady Universal Radio Tester
Introducing a universal solution capable of generating analog and digital public radio signals compliant with the most common standards in use worldwide. The URT's universal hardware platform is based on National Instrument’s PXI product line, which translates to significantly-reduced capital expenses. Carefully designed for the smallest possible footprint, the URT test equipment is able to satisfy the demands of testing multiple digital and analog radio standards with a single universal RF source. Audio analysis is a straight-forward operation with its four-channel audio analyzer ideally
suited for head units. Additional equipment such as a CAN controller or switches to test multiple devices can be added, depending on your project's requirements. The system ships with National Instruments (NI) runtime modules equipped with an intuitive LabVIEW interface for taking manual measurements. Complete suites of automated tests can easily be created using NI’s TestStand Test
Management Software.
