EMI test software designed for ease of use

The software supports both interactive and automated test sequences for many commercial products as well as for military applications.

It performs a preview measurement based on predefined test templates to measure the DUTˈs frequency spectrum. The result is compared against appropriate limit lines.

Time-consuming measurements with a standard-compliant detector will be performed only if limits are violated.

The test software provides the limit lines for the various test standards together with the antenna factors and it delivers conclusive measurements in the development lab.

For example, development engineers can use an LISN when measuring conducted disturbance.

With smaller, battery-operated DUTs, a GTEM cell can be used; in this case, the EMI test software processes the measured values to generate results that are comparable to those that would be obtained during an open-site measurement with an antenna.

A dashboard on the user interface provides quick access to settings, tests, test templates, and other functions. Frequently used elements can be added to the dashboard as favourites.

The software saves each test configuration with a block diagram, allowing users to quickly access individual parameters by clicking on the associated components.

The software provides reliable acquisition of measurement values. It documents results together with the test configuration and all instrument settings.

Users can add descriptive text and images. Reports can be generated and exported in CSV, Excel and PDF format.

The R&S ELEKTRA EMI test software is now available from Rohde & Schwarz. Its official introduction will be at the EMV 2017 International Exhibition in Stuttgart (March 28-30). 2017.
