Available off-the-shelf- Products

Navigation Laboratories has been a major player in GPS Constellation Simulators since 1990. During this interval, we have developed in house our own digital simulation engine, the 16 satellite NLC-DSE expansion board, our multi-function MFIO expansion card, and our high level Windows O/S controlling software system :Tapestry integrating the components together.
Since our Hardware and Software is totally designed and constructed by NavLabs, we can (and have) modified our system to conform to your unique applications such as spaceborne Attitude Determination, Agricultural Applications, Pseudolite, Unique Interfaces, Top and Bottom Antennas, Rotating Antennas, etc.
We have developed fully integrated turn-key packages tailored to your applications. The following products can be purchased off-the-shelf or used as a baseline for a custom application. All of our products can be integrated with our MFIO feature card or with other commercially-available expansion cards (such as 1553, ARINC-429) to provide an extensive product base.
All of the following products include:

• 4U rack-mount chassis and LCD monitor. Windows O/S, DVD/RW, Ethernet.
• RF Output (N connector), 1-PPS/Start (SMA), 10 MHz PLO (SMA).
• Embedded GPS Reference Receiver.
• Tapestry software suite.
• All systems are upgradeable.
• One year warranty and technical support.

Designed into our FPGA firmware and Windows software are hooks and DLL modules such that our simulator can morph into a myriad of end configurations. For other capabilities not addressed here, contact NavLabs or your dealer so we can build a custom system for you.

SCS-1000
This system provides:

• 14 Satellites of L1 C/A combined into ONE RF output
• Remote Control operation via Ethernet.
• GPIB Interface available
• 2nd RF Output available
• Automotive Outputs via MFIO available
• Inertial Measurement Unit Outputs via MFIO available
• Rate Table control via MFIO available.

The principal application has been product verification and system validation. All software is provided such that the user can design mission-specific scenarios which can be run via Ethernet or at the system console.
Tapestry will accept logged field data in NMEA format and construct an emulation you can play back over the hardware. Other formats are supported as well as simple ASCII route data.
