Multi-Channel Digital Telemetry Systems

A multichannel system is any hardware or software platform capable of handling multiple independent data streams or signal paths concurrently. In telemetry, this means processing several PCM streams simultaneously — each with its own synchronization, timing, and data extraction — within a single integrated unit, reducing equipment footprint and operational complexity for flight test programs.

The LS-68 Series is available in three configurations: a small modular unit for compact installations, a portable lunchbox format (LS-68-M-P1) for field-deployable operations, and a 1U rack-mounted unit (LS-68-R1) for fixed facility installations. This flexibility allows engineers to deploy the same processing capability across lab, field, and airborne environments.

Yes. The LS-68 Series includes built-in Telemetry over IP (TMoIP) capability, enabling telemetry data to be distributed across standard IP networks. This supports remote monitoring, multi-site data sharing, and integration with networked ground station architectures — all without requiring dedicated proprietary cabling infrastructure between processing nodes.

The LS-68 Series integrates an IRIG Time Code Reader/Generator and PTP (Precision Time Protocol) Network Time synchronization. These ensure precise timing alignment across all telemetry data streams, which is critical for flight test data correlation, multi-source data fusion, and compliance with IRIG 106 telemetry standards used in aerospace and defense testing.

Yes. The LS-68 Series supports PCM data simulation, allowing engineers to generate synthetic telemetry streams for system testing and validation. It also includes data recording and playback functionality, enabling post-flight data review and reprocessing. These capabilities make it suitable for both live flight test operations and laboratory development and verification workflows.

Lumistar's multi-channel digital telemetry systems serve four primary sectors: Aerospace & Flight Test for real-time PCM telemetry acquisition on manned and unmanned aircraft; Defense & Military for weapons testing, UAV monitoring, and range instrumentation; Federal Test Ranges for fixed and portable ground station deployments with multi-stream data processing; and Space & Launch Vehicles for compact telemetry processing during launch vehicle monitoring and space vehicle data acquisition.

Lumistar brings over 25 years of telemetry expertise and more than 100 combined years of engineering knowledge to every system. A key differentiator is their revolutionary size and weight reduction — transforming traditional ground stations from 8-foot, 250 kg systems into hand-held units under 1 kg without sacrificing processing capability. Every system is also backed by unlimited post-delivery technical support, training, and an industry-leading warranty.
