EMC test automation software

The key to reliable repeatable EMC test procedures

The nature of executing EMC testing, with repetitive procedures diligently searching for unwanted emissions step-by-step through wide frequency and power level ranges, demands automation. The current EMC automation programs from Rohde & Schwarz benefit from 40 years experience, to provide market-leading standard-conform automation functions for both EMI and EMS test procedures, for the complete range of test equipment required for all aspects of EMC testing and reporting. The full range of commercial, automotive and military EMC standards from all leading standard authorities are supported, including IEC, CISPR, CENELEC, ETSI, FCC, ANSI, RTCA and MIL-STD.

For EMC testing of any device with controls featuring visual and audio signals, from a washing machine display up to motor vehicle internal controls (such as the dashboard) and external controls (such as the indicators), the controls are conventionally monitored by humans during EMC test (as well as during every day use). The alternative is audiovisual signal inspection software to monitor changes in the values reported by controls automatically, without the human danger of not paying attention. Rohde & Schwarz supply software programs providing leading automated monitoring and reporting functions, for EMC test and also suitable for other monitoring applications.
