RadiCentre, New control centre for EMC and RF tests with colour touch display.
Unique upgradeable system to control all instrumentation during EMC tests in only 3u high.
EMC test systems can vary from simple EMC test systems with one or two instruments,
to complex installations with many EMC measurement instruments connected, while in many cases even a turntable and an antenna mast should be controlled. In order to enable full automated EMC testing, these devices and measuring instruments, should be controlled in an automated manner.
Where the EMC test software RadiMation® acts as the software centre of the system;
EMC test system RadiCentre® is the core of the hardware. With the introduction of the RadiCentre® by DARE!! Instruments, cost effective, full automated testing finally becomes reality!
Flexible
To enable full automated EMC testing for small and large measuring systems the RadiCentre®
EMC test system provides either one or seven 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 RadiCentre® EMC test system is expandable with a number of different cards.
The following cards are now available:
- Radisense: Laser powered EM field sensros from 10 kHz to 18 GHz
- RadiLink: RF analog fiber optic link up to 3 GHz
- RadiMate: four channel A/D and D/A for EUT monitoring
- RadiPower: RF (CW/BURST) power meter for EMC applications
- RadiGen: EMC RF signal generator from 9 kHz to 6 GHz
- radiSwitch: two to four channels to switch to 18 GHz/250W
- RadiControl: controller for turntable and/or antenna tower
Easy to use
The EMC test 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 (7-channel system only).
Space effective
Where normally controllers, EMC probes, switches and other equipment take one or more units in a 19-inch cabinet, the RadiCentre® EMC test system allows for combining one to seven devices in just three units height. RadiCentre® is available in both a desktop and 19-inch rack mountable version.
All plug-in cards are powered by the RadiCentre® EMC system, in contrary to separate rack equipment that all will have their own power supply.
Software support
The RadiCentre® EMC test system is software controllable with RS-232, USB, LAN and IEEE-488 (Optional for the 9-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 EMC 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.
