THINK RF THINK LUCIDRACK MOUNT MODELSThe all-new Lucid-X Series Rack mount platform is designed to offer maximum
channel density at minimum cost of space. The rack-mounted platform, offers up to 4
phase coherent channels in a 19” 1U box. Featuring extremely fast switching speed,superior signal integrity and purity, removable memory card for maximum security,
all the necessary modulated signals for analog communication systems, built in LAN
and USB interface, the Lucid Series is designed to meet today’s most demanding
specifications, needed for ATE and production lines.

Multiple Ways to Control the Unit and Write Your CodeThe Lucid Series has a dedicated software to control the instrument functions, modes andfeatures via a graphical user interface (GUI). It also includes a complete set of drivers, allowing
you to write applications in various environments, including LabVIEW, Python, CVI, C++, VB
and MATLAB. You may also link the supplied DLL to other Windows-based API’s or use lowlevel SCPI commands to program the instrument, regardless of whether the application is
written for Windows, Linux or Macintosh operating systems.

Signal Integrity and Purity
One of the most important requirements in today’s testing and measurement applications
is a high signal quality. With a typical SSB phase noise of -134dBc/Hz at 1GHz, and -115dBc/
Hz at 10GHz, at 10kHz carrier offset, Tabor’s Lucid X Series platform delivers great quality
signals with the best price to performance value.

Multi-channel, phase coherent, benchtop generator
Many test systems and experimental setups require multiple RF channels, either separate
or synchronized. The Lucid series rack mounted platform offers up to 4 separate or phasecoherent, Microwave outputs in a single 19” 1U box, saving up to 8 times the space compared
to available rack mounted benchtop solutions on the market. You can save both valuable
bench/rack space and investment capital without compromising performance.
