EMCVIEW SOFTWARE FOR PC FOR PRE-TESTING EMC COMPLIANCE
Tekbox EMCview software for PC is a user-friendly tool for EMC compliance pre-testing of radiated and conducted emissions. It is an ideal complement to automated testing with LISNs, RF current probes, measurement antennas and TEM chambers.
Built-in amplitude correction allows correction and conversion of coefficients for cables, amplifiers, attenuators, LISNs, TEM chambers, antennas, RF current probes, strip lines and capacitive coupling clamps.
There is no need for time-consuming setup. The SW is ready for measurements immediately after installation. All measurements related to CISPR-xx (EN550xx) emissions and several automotive standards are preconfigured in the corresponding project files. In addition to using the pre-configured designs, users can easily create their own designs using the built-in editor or any simple text editor.
The chart supports two full measurement waveforms, such as Average/Quasi-Peak or Peak/Quasi-peak, for example, as well as quick scanning of critical quasi-peak peaks. The charts can be saved and overlaid with newer measurements to track and document design modifications.
In addition, EMCview along with a GPS receiver can be used to take RF coverage measurements. An export function creates KML files that link results to Google maps.
Immunity testing is handled through a dedicated menu that controls the spectrum analyzer's tracking generator.
EMCview PRO offers real-time measurement support for spectrum analyzers with real-time capability. In addition, EMCview PRO offers advanced conducted immunity testing functions for spectrum analyzers with tracking generators. Customers can choose between a standard EMCview or EMCview PRO license. Users with the EMCview standard license have the option to upgrade to EMCview Pro.
EMCview currently supports the following spectrum analyzers:
The spectrum analyzer should be equipped with an EMI option.
Tekbox offers two license options:
In-house EMC measurements in the product design phase
EMC training in the laboratory, school and university
Preliminary compliance testing of products before sending them to a test center
reduced testing costs
shorter time to market
