R&S®EMC32-K21 Application Interface

Характеристики - R&S®EMC32-K21 Application Interface

Automation of additional measurement tasks
Key Facts Development labs often have to carry out measurements in addition to the actual EMC measurements. In most cases the T & M equipment necessary for these measurements is already integrated in the EMC test system. The R&S®EMC32-K21 software option makes it possible to automate these measurements with little effort, increasing the efficiency and reproducibility of the test run.
Features & Benefits

• Consistent operation and management of test templates The integration of the application interface into the R&S®EMC32 environment ensures consistent operation for managing the test templates, the test run and the test results in the EUT-specific data structure. As a result, the performance and documentation of these supplementary test sequences can also be standardized.
• Intuitive macro language for test sequence control For the creation of program sequences, the software option contains everything that is needed for performing these routine measurements:
  • Communications via the GPIB bus for remote-controlling measuring equipment and for the R&S®CMU200 communications analyzer with its dynamic address management
  • Interactive user dialogs
  • Conditions and loops for sequence control
  • Mathematical operations
  • Call of subprograms
• Easy integration into the test sequence The created test macros are available as test templates in the R&S®EMC32 file structure, allowing these tests to be performed analogously to the EMC measurements. The R&S®EMC32-K11 option (EMC test sequencer) makes it possible to perform tests also together with EMC measurements.
• Versatile use The macro language allows a wide range of use in electrical engineering. Typical applications include the following:
  • Measurement of the band occupancy of Bluetooth® or other wireless communications standards
  • Monitoring of the transmission signal with a spectrum analyzer in Max Hold mode
  • Analysis of the occupied band on the spectrum analyzer
  • Total harmonic distortion (THD) measurements on FM receivers of mobile phones simultaneously with the operation of GSM or UMTS transmitters
    • Setup of communications
    • Measurement of the audio signal using an audio analyzer
  • Measurement of additional EUT and environmental parameters
    • Measurement and documentation of temperature and humidity before, during and after the EMC measurement
    • Recording and documentation of the EUT setup, e.g. via barcode
  • Monitoring of battery charge status during automotive EMC measurements
