Client: Acterna Project: Design and Build and Automatic Regression Tester
ADS developed a complete Automatic Regression Tester to reduce test times for Acterna's products. This system allows anyone from an operator to a manager to develop test scripts to run automatically. This application tests any functionality the instrument performs such as Sonet and Bit Error Rate.
Client: Hughes Network Systems Project: Develop Testing Software and Audit Testers for Five Different Direct TV Products
Hughes Network Systems required a local, reliable systems integrator with a strong background in quality control, production, RF and electrical and test engineering, along with in-depth knowledge of National Instrument's LabVIEW software. ADS developed the software and integrated the final and production audit testers for five different Direct TV products. Hughes also relied on ADS to lead and facilitate product development across several of its departments, including engineering and production, to ensure that the test stations worked reliably.
Client: Northrop Grumman - California Microwave, Inc. Project: Develop a System to Remotely Control and Monitor the HP Spectrum Analyzer
California Microwave offers customers satellite earth stations with full remote capabilities. They contacted ADS because they were unable to monitor test equipment to determine if the signal carriers from a satellite were available at correct levels. To solve this problem, ADS developed a system capable of remotely monitoring and controlling test equipment, in this case a HP Spectrum Analyzer. The solution involved synthesizing National Instrument's hardware and software and a Glenco Key with the HP spectrum analyzer.
Client: Northrop Grumman - Litton Advanced System Project: Write Software Test Modules to Monitor RF Two-Way Communications for Gas Meters
ADS developed LabVIEW testing software to monitor RF gas meters for two-way communications.
