Press Release Summary:
URT(TM) v5.0 lets RF manufacturers generate, record, and play back common radio, video, and navigation signals. While GUI facilitates operation, feature set eliminates manual entry of waypoints to accommodate need for reduced scenario creation time and efficient TMC testing. NAVASIM Toolkit lets users create routes and scenarios using Tele Atlas maps, while G-SIM Toolkit offers GPS Simulator software designed for real-time GPS L1 C/A constellation simulation for up to 12 satellites.
Original Press Release:
Averna's URT(TM) 5.0 - The Most Comprehensive Platform for GPS Receiver Testing
MONTREAL, Sept. 23 -- Global test engineering company Averna has announced the launch of URT(TM) (Universal Receiver Tester) 5.0, the simplest and most complete line of turnkey solutions for GPS receiver testing. For this new version, the URT design team collaborated with leading Personal Navigation Device (PND) makers and mapping software developers to create the NAVASIM and G-SIM toolkits, which allow for reduced field testing. Other enhancements include a new, intuitive GUI and optimizations to the existing GPS constellation simulator.
The URT line of solutions empowers RF manufacturers to efficiently generate, record, and play back all common radio, video, and navigation signals in use today. "URT 5.0 was developed in close collaboration with leading vendors in the navigation market space," said Dominique Fortin, Director of RF Products at Averna. "By eliminating the manual entry of waypoints, the new features of URT 5.0 respond directly to an industry need to reduce scenario-creation time, and to test TMC efficiently."
What's new in URT 5.0:
NAVASIM Toolkit: With the Navigation Advanced Simulator software toolkit, test engineers can create routes and scenarios using built-in Tele Atlas maps enabled by an SDK from Telogis, reducing GPS receiver validation test times. Scenarios can be customized by inserting start and end points as well as stops, by changing vehicle speed, and by generating TMC (Traffic Message Channel) events.
G-SIM Toolkit: The Advanced GPS Simulator software toolkit is designed for real-time GPS L1 C/A constellation simulation for up to 12 satellites. It allows the user to easily set all satellite parameters and simulation characteristics such as ionosphere and troposphere model. G-SIM can be complementary to NAVASIM, allowing engineers to recreate more realistic test conditions.
New GUI: The enhanced development environment in URT 5.0 offers greater consistency from one toolkit to another, with an ergonomic and intuitive design for maximum ease of use.
