Why choose RadiMation?

RadiMation® supports the engineer

EMC test engineers are highly skilled and highly experienced people. In terms of motivation and costs, it is important that engineers do not suffer from “tedious work” such as:

Monitoring the behavior of the EUT
Manually enter test data into the test report
Keeping track of test data
Reconfigure the test repeatedly

RadiMation offers solutions for all these activities so that the test engineer can fully focus on EMC testing.

Fully automated EMC testing

Rather than automating just a few EMC tests. RadiMation® EMC software has been developed in close collaboration with external companies such as EMC accredited laboratories. At the heart of this package is a closed loop system optimized for fast and accurate measurements. This package supports any brand of EMC test equipment, all standards such as civil, automotive, military and aerospace, while test results can be easily exported. Tests that are performed regularly can be defined and run in series without the intervention of an engineer. All these functions together with the control of the device under test (EUT) and the fully automated generation of EMC test reports make fully automated testing a reality.

Supports all industries & international EMC standards

RadiMation® supports every EMC test standard with a single software package!. This includes commercial, military and automotive EMC testing standards. Currently, the RadiMation EMC test software is used in the following industries:

Automotive
Business electronics
Telecom equipment
Technical Universities
Medical equipment
Defense/military equipment
Consumer electronics
Industry (machines, systems and installations)
R&D testing laboratories
Independent Accredited Labs

Traceable results

ISO/IEC 17025 requires measurements to be traceable. Quality control and subsequent error control require that not only the final test results are stored but also all raw data. In the case of an unexplained phenomenon, these raw results can be retrieved to study and clarify what caused the issue and whether this event affected the pass / fail statement by recalculating the raw data.

Automated report generation

Since all test related information is stored in the RadiMation® EMC testing software, the report is generated fully automatically. Based on a template using RadiMation® keywords, each organization can stick to its own layout and style. The test engineer only needs to add the comments and conclusion. All test information, such as pass / fail criteria, emission and immunity curves, used test equipment and EUT related data are combined by means of the standard word processor of your choice (Microsoft Word® or Excel®).

Modular

RadiMation® can be bought as a complete full package or can be purchased per module, preventing unnecessary investments. Currently the following RadiMation® modules are available:

Radiated Immunity
Conducted emission
Conducted Immunity
ESD, EFT/Burst, Surge and Dips/Interrupts
Radiated emissions
Report Generator
Data export

Data export

Generated data can be exported in many ways. Cut and paste, export to Excel format or in a comma separated file are ways to achieve maximum flexibility and take advantage of the obtained results.

Quality

Conducting EMC immunity tests can be a time consuming process. Therefore, in the RadiMation® EMC test software package, the control of test instruments is optimized to the level where dwell time at each frequency point becomes the only limiting factor. The emissions test modules are optimized for efficiency and peaks are automatically detected.

Optimized for effective EMC testing

RadiMation® makes use of error checking device drivers. This means that when a command is sent to the device, RadiMation® checks that the command has been properly received and interpreted by the device. By reading back the setting from the device, RadiMation checks whether the instrument is really set to the intended value.

In addition, several system checks and tests are performed before an EMC test is started.

Flexible

The RadiMation® EMC test software is extremely flexible. By implementing a point-and-click philosophy on the one hand, the user can still adapt the software in line with his own preferences. All equipment used can be configured in separate test locations that are stored and easily retrieved and/or adopted if required. In addition, the sequence of events can be customer-specific. For example, the software can be set up to change the antenna movement first, then the turntable angle, and finally the polarization of the antenna followed by the next frequency step. This provides complete flexibility in testing with maximum test speed based on the speed of the individual instrument.

Adaptable to customer-specific EMC tests

Customer-specific EMC tests can be created using an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) and stored in a so-called technical setup file (TSF) that can be retrieved and launched with just a few mouse clicks. This prevents test engineers from having to reconfigure tests repeatedly, reducing errors and improving test efficiency. The test setup files can be executed in series (sequence) so that multiple EMC tests can be started without the intervention of an engineer. Sequences can be saved and retrieved for future use. In addition, the information only needs to be entered into the RadiMation® EMC software once, which improves speed and reduces the risk of errors.

User friendly

All test modules in the RadiMation® EMC test software have the same appearance and use (Look and Feel). As a result, an engineer who is used to one module will quickly become comfortable with the other modules. For each module, all relevant settings and test information are displayed in one window as much as possible. This gives the technician a clear overview of how to perform the test and what settings to use for a certain EMC test.

Site license

A site license is available for large organizations requiring more than four full RadiMation® packages. This offers the customer a cost-efficient solution for one or more large sites.

Investment protection

Raditeq’s pricing plan is designed so that the customer only pays the difference between the initial investment and the upgrade situation. In this way, the customer is not forced to make unnecessary or premature investments.

Truly open software

With more than 5.000 drivers available, RadiMation® supports all commercially available EMC equipment from all brands (*). The number of device drivers is growing every day. Still no driver available? The RadiMation® team will develop one at no additional cost. This makes RadiMation® truly open software that can be used with any setup. This way your organization is not tied to equipment from one manufacturer.

RadiMation® support equipment uses GP-IB, LAN, USB or RS-232 interfaces.

(*) Raditeq supports all commercially available EMC equipment that is still supported by the original manufacturer. Moreover, many device drivers are available for legacy equipment. Check here whether all drivers for your current setup(s) are available.

System requirements

The RadiMation® software makes extensive use of data calculations, bus interactions (to control the test equipment) and screen interactions (to use graphs). Therefore the performance of the processor is very important and a dedicated PC for RadiMation® is required. Running other programs on the same computer can cause compatibility issues and is not supported. Supported programs are those used by RadiMation®, such as Word, Excel and MySQL.

The following hardware configuration is required to fully use the software:

Processor type: minimum 2 GHz,> 3 GHz recommended
Free RAM: minimum 1 GB, more than 2 GB recommended
Free space on the hard disk: minimum 1 GB
Monitor: SXGA (1280 x 1024) or larger (minimum 1280 pixels wide and minimum 900 pixels high)
IEEE Card: Any GPIB card supported by the National Instruments NI-488.2 Software Library
