DAQTron Introduces Trident Suite Version 1.8

Trident Suite Enables Testing of Digital Television Hardware With National
Instruments LabVIEW, NI TestStand, and PXI Platform

ATLANTA, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- DAQTron, Inc., an industry leader in the
implementation of broadband test systems, announced today availability of
Trident Suite Version 1.8, a set of software and hardware packages designed to
provide customized testing automation for digital television technologies,
based on National Instruments LabVIEW and NI TestStand software as well as the
PXI hardware platform. Version 1.8 adds several advances; notably coverage of
new broadcast digital video standards and greatly expanded analysis
capabilities.
The DAQTron Trident Suite includes:
-- Trident Generation - Transforms customized transport stream files into
a single binary data format that are then generated using National Instruments
PXI RF signal generator hardware.
-- Trident Analysis - Acquires data using National Instruments PXI RF
signal analyzer hardware and performs bandpower, demodulation, MER, EVM, and
frequency and phase offset. Bit Error Ratio (BER) is also available using
National Instruments high-speed digital I/O hardware and Trident software.
Trident Generation and Analysis both support digital broadcast standards
such as DVB-T, DVB-H, DVB-C, DVB-S, DVB-S2, ATSC, SCTE, ISDB-T, and MediaFLO.
"Using the newest high performance RF hardware from NI provides
performance competitive with other world-class instrumentation," said Bob
Sandage, President of DAQTron.
"Furthermore, the ability to combine generation and analysis in one common
platform significantly lowers cost and increases capability for integration
with other test hardware. Other solutions would require several standalone
instruments, are much higher in cost, and don't have the performance advantage
that the new NI RF hardware offers."
