Overview
LTT Downloads
In this download section you will find all software downloads related to IRS Life Time Testers (LTT)
The LTT Installer & Updater for TestStand 2014 and 2019 or later
MDBS is the LTT measurement database system used to store LTT measurements. It comes with a standalone version of LTT MesVis, a graphical viewer for LTT measurements.
NI installers
The LTT software relies on third-party components from National Instruments, notably TestStand and LabVIEW 2019.
The NI Installers can be automatically downloaded by the LTT installer or you can download them here and provide them to the LTT installer. The LTT installer is able to call each NI installer without any user interaction. There is no need to manually install the NI software!
The LTT software is compatible not only with TestStand 2019 but also with newer TestStand versions. However, we only guarantee that it is working well with TestStand 2019 components. So use newer NI releases on your own risk. For LabVIEW, you can use any custom code from any LabVIEW version, ensuring that the corresponding LabVIEW runtime is installed.
For legacy systems we also offer the LTT software based on the older NI 2014 platform. However since LTT software release 3.5.9 we do no longer support the old NI 2014 platform.
Additional components needed for the LTT software to run are:
You can download the above listed NI components and copy them into a folder on the system you want to install the LTT software. Then, when you start the LTT installer, you can choose the option "local folder", where you are asked to provide a folder containing those NI installers. The rest is automatic.
MesVis / MDBS
MDBS is the "measurement database system" of the life time tester. It is a bundle of
Oracle MySQL database
Apache webserver
PHP / phpMyAdmin (for DB administration)
The LTT GUI stores configuration in MySQL database.
The LTT GUI also has the option to record measurements into a MySQL database table.
Starting with LTT installer 3.6.0, new MDBS 4.0 will be installed.
MDBS 4.0 has updated MySQL / Apache versions due to security concerns with the older versions. However, when you install MDBS 4.0, old measurements recorded with previous version of MDBS/MySQL cannot be opened any more!
Updating an existing LTT to 3.6.0 or above is not affected since the original MDBS will be kept!
If you need to update the MDBS of an existing LTT because of IT security, please contact IRS for support.
If you need to use new MDBS but still need to be able to access old measurement data, please contact IRS for support.
MesSy II / MesSy II FD
The LTT software is typically used in combination with a MesSy hardware. For more information and downloads about MesSy see the corresponding page.
Attention
There is a break in MesSy firmware compatibility between latest compatibility level 5 (CL5-2022-11-30) and newer compatibility levels (starting with CL7-2021.09.29).
MesSy CL5-2022-11-30 was the last release based on LabVIEW 2014. Newer releases are based on LabVIEW 2019.
The last LTT SW installer to support LabVIEW 2014 MesSy is 3.5.8.
If you have a MesSy II with a LabVIEW 2014 firmware running, and want to use it with later MesSy II API versions (CL7 or higher), you need the MesSy version switching tool to update the firmware from 2014 to 2019.
