Introduction

Product Introduction
EMC test systems can vary, from simple systems with one or two instruments, to complex installations with several integrated measurement instruments. Often even turntables and antennas can be controlled. To enable fully automated testing, these devices, as well as the connections between amplifiers, power meters, antennas and measurement receivers, need to be effectively controlled in an automated manner.
With the introduction of the RadiCentre®, cost effective, fully automated testing has finally become a reality. The RadiCentre® is designed for flexible configuration of an EMC test facility and contains up to seven independent slots that can contain any combination of different available plug-in cards. These cards determine the test facilities and are controlled through the RadiCentre®, possibly in combination with the RadiMation® software.
All plug-in cards are controlled via front-panel touchscreen on the RadiCentre® or can be addressed by the available interface ports; USB or LAN (GPIB optional) in combination with RadiMation® EMC test software (not standard included, but offered as separate product), or any other software package using the command set as defined in this programming section of this manual.

RadiGen® RF signal generators An important part of an EMC immunity test system is the RF signal generator, that provides the carrier signal at a certain frequency with different kinds of modulation. This carrier signal should be fast, accurate and without unwanted glitches or overshoot. The RadiGen® range of EMC/RF signal generators are the perfect solution for these applications.
RadiPower® RF power meters The RadiPower is a RF power head designed for CW power measurements during EMC testing. A range of power heads is available to measure RF power from 4 kHz up to 18 GHz. The RadiPower is an affordable, fast and accurate RF power head with USB interface for easy connection.
RadiSwitch® Coaxial switch cards The RadiSwitch is a series of RF switching plug-in cards for fully automated EMC testing. EMC test systems are often complex installations with many different test and measurement instrumentation. To enable full automated testing, all measuring instruments as well as the connections made between amplifiers, power meters, antennae and EMI receivers should be selected in an automated manner. The RadiSwitch is especially designed to switch RF signals between multiple instruments during EMC measurements.

RadiCentre® : models CTR1009B & CTR1004B
The RadiCentre® Pro (7­slot, CTR1009B) and RadiCentre® (2­slot, CTR1004B) modular test systems are both 3U high and are standard delivered for usage as a desktop model with mounting (tilt) feet. The unit can also be fitted into a 19″ rack when using the 19″ brackets that are standard supplied.
The only difference between the RadiCentre® Pro and the RadiCentre® models is the number of slots. The RadiCentre® Pro has in total nine (9) slots and the RadiCentre® has four (4) slots. Two dedicated slots are used for the power supply (PSU) plug-in card and the main processor (CPU) plug-in card. This means that each model has respectively seven (7) and two (2) free available slots for custom selectable plug-in cards.
The slots are numbered from left to right (looking from the back of the system) and are shown on the touchscreen display. For the RadiCentre® Pro (9-slots) this means that slots numbered 1-7 are available for plug-in card instruments and slots 8-9 are dedicated for the CPU and PSU plug-in cards. For the RadiCentre® (4-slots) this means that slots 1-2 are available and slots 3-4 are dedicated.
The dedicated slots are used for the embedded LinuxTM computer (CPU) plug-in card and power supply (PSU) plug-in card. Be noted that these plug-in cards cannot be placed in any other slot. The power supply card has a connection for an external interlock. The processor card has different control interfaces such as Ethernet (LAN), USB and GPIB (optional) to control the RadiCentre® from a computer. Both models can be controlled manually through the touch-screen display on the front panel.

RadiCentre® : models CTR2008U The latest member of the RadiCentre® modular test systems family, the CTR2008A. This new system rack is specifically designed for applications that demand high-speed data transfer and can accommodate up to 8 instruments in a single rack. Building upon its predecessors, the CTR2008A is fully compatible with all available instruments from Raditeq, such as signal generators, power meters, coaxial switch cards, and E-field probes. In particular, when equipped with eight RadiSense laser-powered E-field probes, the CTR2008A is an ideal choice for conducting high-speed chamber calibrations and radiated immunity testing. Various applications require the measurement and calibration of E-fields, with the international standard ISO114515 specifying the testing methods for reverberation rooms. To accomplish these measurements with the utmost precision and speed, the RadiCentre® has introduced its latest model, the CTR2008A. The system’s capabilities are well-suited for performing E-field measurements at eight reference points in the reverberation room, as well as conducting 16-point calibrations in the anechoic chamber in compliance with the EN-IEC61000-4-3 standard. The CTR2008A’s 1 Gigabit Ethernet interface allows for direct communication with each device, enabling fast data throughput and simple installation. Moreover, when equipped with a LASER power supply plugin card(s), the RadiCentre® 8 comes with an ON/OFF button on the front panel to ensure the safety of engineers, and the CTR2008A model includes a laser ON/OFF button that must be pressed for a specific amount of time to activate the laser, accompanied by an audible signal to alert the user.

Device ID In order to control a plug-in card in the RadiCentre® from a remote computer, the address (network or GPIB) of the RadiCentre® must be set correctly. In addition, each device in the RadiCentre® has its own unique number, corresponding with the slot number of the device. Look at the back panel of the RadiCentre® to determine the slot number of the device. When facing the back panel, the slots are numbered from left to right.
Device ID example In this example the RadiCentre® (CTR1004B) is equipped with two seperate plug-in cards.

The Device ID is therefore made up out of; first the slot number and secondly the device port (if applicable). In the picture below you can see how the slot numbers of the RadiCentre® are arranged.

· RadiSense® – LASER power supply · RadiPower® – Power Meter command card with 4 USB ports.

For example, a RadiSense® plug-in card is inserted in slot one (1) of a RadiCentre® Pro to control the RadiSense® plug-in card it needs to be

2A

commanded by the ID number: 1

2B

The RadiPower® plug-in card model USB1004A has four (4) USB ports. When this plug-in card is inserted in slot two (2) of the RadiCentre® and the user wants to send a command to one of the four (4) USB RadiPower®

Smart Buttons
When tapping on of the slot numbers you will be redirect into the manual settings of the device. On this screen up to six (6) smart buttons are displayed. These buttons show a short overview of the status buttons of the other plugged in Raditeq cards. when tapped the user is redirected to the chosen Radiproduct.
Configuring plug-in card parameters When the parameters of a single plug-in card have to be adjusted, simply click on the `status’ button of that card in the `main’ screen. A dedicated configuration screen (the control screen) for that card will appear, allowing the user to change all the parameters of the relevant card. In addition, the data of the selected card will be displayed in a large font, allowing the user to monitor the data from a greater distance.
Remote control of the RadiCentre® (Pro) (models CTR1009B / CTR1004B) The RadiCentre® (Pro) can be remotely controlled through either custom made software or the RadiMation® EMC software package from Raditeq installed on a PC.
Because these models can hold several plug-in cards, devices ID’s and command prefixes are used. The use of Device ID’s is explained in the following chapter. The command prefixes can be found in the programming manual which is part of this manual.
Display update during remote control (Models CTR1009B / CTR1004B) When the RadiCentre® is remotely controlled the display is not updated in real time. The current values are updated when requested by the external remote control software on the RadiCentre® display. The last values are shown until the new values are requested.
