RadiCentre® EMC Systems
The hart of every EMC-test system
EMC test systems can vary from simple systems with one or two instruments to complex installations with many measurement instruments connected while in many cases even a turntable and an antenna mast should be controlled. In order to enable full automated testing, these devices and measuring instruments as well as the connections made between amplifiers, power meters, antennas and measurement receivers should be controlled in an automated manner. Where RadiMation® acts as the software centre of the system; RadiCentre® is the core of the hardware. With the introduction of the RadiCentre® by DARE!! Instruments a cost effective, full automated testing finally becomes a reality.
Flexible To enable full automated testing for small and large measuring systems the RadiCentre® provides either one, two or eight versatile slots. Each slot can be individually configured at the user’s choice. The different available plug-in cards can be combined as desired, allowing any combination of functionality. Expandable The RadiCenter® is expandable with a number of different cards. The following cards are now available: | RadiSense® | LASER-powered EM field sensors from 10 KHz to 18 GHz | | RadiLink® | analog fiber link up to 3 GHz | | RadiMate® | four channel A / D and D / A Monitor | | RadiPower® | high frequent power meter for EMC applications | | RadiGen® | signal generator for EMC applications | | RadiSwitch® | for two to four channels to switch to 18GHz/250W | | RadiControl® | controller for turntable and/or atenna tower | Easy to use The system is “Plug and Play” which means that every board is automatically recognized and initialized and ready for use. The user can configure and control the system by means of a clear and easy to use color TFT touch screen (only for 2-channel and 8-channel system). Space effective Where normally controllers, probes, switches and other equipment take one or more units in a 19-inch cabinet, the RadiCentre® allows for combining two to eight devices in just two to four units height. The RadiCentre® is available in both a desktop and 19-inch rack mountable versions with either two or eight free plug-in card slots. All plug-in cards are supplied from the RadiCentre® system, in contrary to the equipment that has its own suppliance. Software support The RadiCentre® system is software controllable with RS-232, LAN and IEEE-488 (Optional for the 2-slot system). Besides the RadiMation® integral EMC measurement software, the system can be controlled by all EMC measurement packages, as all software codes to control the unit are available. Linux Based & Software upgrades The system is Linux based thus offering great stability and fast start-up times. As all embedded software is stored in flash, it is very easy to upgrade the system with new versions, thus protecting the initial investment.
