Compact Telemetry Systems for Data Acquisition

Radio telemetry for birds is a wildlife tracking method using small transmitters attached to birds to monitor their movement, behavior, and migration. Receivers pick up radio frequency signals to log location data. This application differs from aerospace telemetry, which focuses on high-speed PCM data streams from aircraft and test vehicles in flight test programs.

The LS-68 Series is a complete baseband telemetry processing ground station in a single modular system. It supports bit synchronization, frame synchronization, decommutation, PCM data simulation, TMoIP network distribution, and data recording and playback — available in small modular, portable lunchbox, and 1U rack-mounted form factors.

The LS-68 Series is available in three form factors: a small modular unit for compact deployments, a portable lunchbox configuration (LS-68-M-P1) for field use, and a 1U rack-mounted unit (LS-68-R1) for fixed facility installations. All configurations share the same core processing engine with equivalent functional capabilities.

Yes. The LS-68 Series includes integrated Telemetry over IP (TMoIP) capability, enabling telemetry data streams to be distributed over standard IP networks. This supports multi-site monitoring and network-based telemetry architectures commonly used in modern flight test facilities and Federal test ranges.

The LS-68 Series features an integrated IRIG Time Code Reader/Generator along with PTP (Precision Time Protocol) Network Time synchronization. These dual time-reference capabilities ensure all acquired telemetry data is precisely time-stamped, which is critical for correlating multi-stream data in aerospace flight test and data acquisition applications.

Lumistar designs its telemetry components and systems to comply with IRIG 106 requirements, the governing standard for aeronautical telemetry. The company has maintained this focus since its founding in 2000, serving commercial and defense flight test programs across Federal test ranges, making IRIG 106 compliance a foundational element of every product.
