And if your needs are especially urgent, just call us at 978-662-7839. We look forward to helping you.
Hardware FAQs
Each Lab Brick ships with the instrument, a USB cable, and access to the Vaunix software download page. Refer to the individual product datasheet for full packaging details by model.
Yes. Lab Brick signal generators support external reference input and can be daisy-chained to share a single reference, enabling phase-coherent multi-channel setups for MIMO and beamforming test configurations.
Vaunix specifies phase shift accuracy at ±2.5° for the LPS series. Each unit applies a phase shift within this tolerance, allowing predictable error budgeting across multi-unit phased array and beamforming test setups.
The 10-pin expansion bus header allows multiple compatible Lab Brick devices to be daisy-chained and controlled through a single USB or Ethernet connection. All interconnected units are accessible via the Windows GUI, Web UI, or SDK — no additional connections required. This configuration is commonly used in rack-mount solutions where multiple units are integrated into a 1U or 2U chassis.
Select LMS models support pulse modulation, sweep triggering, and external reference input. Advanced models also include optional RF output configurations. Check individual model datasheets for feature availability.
Software FAQs
Yes. All Lab Brick instruments are supported by the Vaunix API, which is compatible with Python, C, LabVIEW, and other common programming environments. API documentation and SDK downloads are available on the software page.
Multiple Lab Brick units can be connected to a single computer via USB and addressed independently. Each unit is assigned a unique identifier, allowing simultaneous or sequenced control in automated test setups.
Yes. When multiple LDA attenuators are connected via USB, the API assigns each a unique handle. Attenuation values can be set independently or simultaneously across all connected units within the same control session.
LDA digital attenuators can be programmed to step through attenuation profiles that replicate fading and dropout conditions. The Vaunix API supports timed sequences, and the Web UI allows manual profile configuration for simpler setups.
Recommended dwell time depends on the specific model and application. Switching speeds range from 15 µs to 350 ms across the LDA series — refer to the datasheet for your model and contact support if you need guidance for a specific test scenario.
Yes. Lab Brick instruments support autonomous operation, allowing them to run pre-loaded profiles without a continuous host computer connection. Settings are stored in internal memory and executed on power-up.
