The advantages of using the LabSat as a GPS simulator comes primarily from the fact that each time you replay a scenario it will be the same, and therefore consistent, repeatable signals are provided to the system under test. This is not the case with using live-sky testing alone, where satellite position, multipath, and atmospheric conditions are constantly changing.
LabSat enables highly cost-effective GPS testing, as you will have credible, unambiguous results with a reduction in travel and testing time often associated with repeating live-sky GPS tests. Recording GPS scenarios with LabSat means that you can reduce the amount of live-sky testing associated with GPS receiver testing, but recording a test once, and then playing back the recorded scenario on the test bed as many times as you require.
