TAS Gemini Warp In Stock

The Spirent TAS Gemini Warp is a high-speed dual terminal emulator designed specifically for evaluating the performance of data communications equipment. It offers a compact package with two complete data analyzers, making it an ideal choice for end-to-end testing of various devices such as modems, T1/E1 transceivers, multiplexers, ISDN terminal adapters, and DSU/CSUs. This emulator proves to be an invaluable tool for a range of applications including product evaluation, research and development, manufacturing, engineering, and quality assurance. One of the key advantages of the TAS Gemini Warp is its ability to significantly reduce costs, time, and equipment complexity required to establish an effective and comprehensive test setup.

The TAS Gemini Warp comes equipped with several built-in, automatic performance testing capabilities. These include high-speed bit error and throughput tests, message error rate (polling) tests, high-speed file transfer and data compression performance tests, character echo and block acknowledgment tests, call connect reliability tests, and multipoint polling tests. With a maximum operating speed of 2.048 Mbps, the TAS Gemini Warp accommodates a wide range of DCE equipment for testing purposes. The emulator provides convenient front panel menus for easy navigation and control. It can also be controlled remotely through standard RS-232 or GPIB control ports. The remote control commands are straightforward, high-level, and easily comprehensible, simplifying the design process of the emulator.

The architecture of the TAS Gemini Warp consists of a controller and two independent data transceivers. This design ensures the integrity of the tests being conducted. Each data transceiver can function in a call setup or message transfer mode, as well as several performance test modes. Notably, this emulator maintains separate parameters for call setup and test modes, eliminating the need to reprogram test parameters when switching between modes. This flexibility allows users to effortlessly set up a call using an asynchronous data format and perform a test using a synchronous format. Moreover, the TAS Gemini Warp accepts terminal clocks from its internal synthesizer, an external source, or from the DCE device itself. The Gemini-supplied clocks offer adjustable increments of 0.1%, facilitating the assessment of the DCE device's ability to handle clock offset.

In terms of call setup functionality, the TAS Gemini Warp supports auto dial modems, ISDN terminal adapters, and other switched-network data communications equipment. It accommodates various call setup data formats, including async, monosync, bisync, and HDLC. Additionally, it is compatible with CCITT V.25 bis call setup procedures. The TAS Gemini Warp encompasses an array of other notable features such as call connect reliability tests, point-to-point and multi-point polling tests, interface signal event timing measurements, and interchangeable test interfaces. Furthermore, it offers coordinated control alongside two complete data analyzers, character echo and block acknowledgement tests, as well as predefined and user-definable test configurations for terminal, CSU/DSUs, and modem adapters.
