Introduction

We are proud to deliver you version 5.3 of our RadiMation EMC Test software. This 5.3 version is the result of several improvements we have done. RadiMation 5.3 contains a lot of important improvements and new functionality over version 5.1 and 5.2 of RadiMation. The multiband immunity tests contain a lot of improvements and it supports some new functionality. Also in the other parts of RadiMation, several improvements and new functionality are included. Please see the chapter: Improved and new functionality for a more detailed description of the improvements. This new 5.3 version of RadiMation, is well tested, and is more stable the previous RadiMation versions.

Installation

Backup

When RadiMation® files are opened, changed and saved in a newer version of RadiMation®, it is possible that it will saved in a newer file format, which cannot be opened anymore in an older version of RadiMation®. To prevent that changed TSF, LLF, COR, SEQ or EUT files cannot be opened anymore in an older RadiMation® version, we strongly recommend to make a backup. Before you install the latest version of RadiMation®, please make sure to saveguard all your critical data.

Make a back up of (at least) the following files:

  • Correction files
  • TSF files
  • Sequence files
  • Limit Line files
  • Device driver configuration files

Multi version installation

It is possible to install different RadiMation® versions on the same PC.

This functionality can be used to verify the correct functioning of the RadiMation® software before it is used for EMC testing. Simply put, the functioning of the new version can be checked by comparing it with the older version. This verification can for example be required by internal quality assurance standards. During this verification process, the installation of the older RadiMation® version can still be used for all EMC tests.


Be advised that:

  • It is not possible to run two (or more) different versions at the same time without risking a software crash. Close other instances of RadiMation® before starting another version!
  • Raditeq cannot be held accountable if information is lost because two different versions of RadiMation® are used at the same time.
  • The user needs to have the rights as described in User rights and installation.

Installation

Installing software updates

Software updates can be distributed on CD or downloaded from the RadiMation® Download page.

To install the RadiMation® update from a CD, please execute the ‘SETUP.EXE’ startup program. The setup program will install the new RadiMation® version at the same location as the previous version, but in a separate installation folder. This will allow you to use the previously installed RadiMation® version, as well as the new one.

The setup program will detect that a previous version of RadiMation® has already been installed on your PC. A back up of this older version will automatically be copied to the backup directory. All the settings of the older version will also be used for the newly installed RadiMation®. If any problems should occur with the new software, the older version can be recovered.

Installing from a network directory

If the already installed RadiMation® version was installed from a network directory, the new setup file can be copied to the <Setup> sub-directory of the <NetworkDir>.

The new RadiMation® version can then be installed on each computer from this directory.

Updating device drivers

After the new RadiMation® version is installed, we strongly recommend that you install the latest device drivers as well. These device drivers can be installed by starting the ‘DRIVERS.EXE’ program that is located on the delivered CD.

The ‘DRIVERS.EXE’ program will detect the different RadiMation® versions installed on your PC. A dialog will start, asking you to select the RadiMation® version that needs updated device drivers. Select the latest version of RadiMation® that was just installed.

You have successfully obtained the latest released version of RadiMation® when both the software and device drivers have been updated.

Verification and Validation

Every new RadiMation® version is tested extensively before it is released. Raditeq validates these new versions on three ‘levels’. The fourth level of the validation is to be done by the end-user.

This quality management system follows the ISO/IEC 17025 standard (“General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”).

1) Automatic knob pushing program

The ‘automatic knob pushing program’ simulates an end-user and is run on each RadiMation® version. The program performs all the actions that a user could do, such as entering information, executing tests, reviewing test results and generating reports.

Performing the first validation level is a responsibility of Raditeq.

2) Validation and usage in a test lab

Once the new RadiMation® version has passed the first validation level, it progresses to the second validation level performed by Raditeq.

During this validation the RadiMation® software is installed in a real test lab, to perform measurements on a 'known' EUT. These results are then compared to manual measurements to verify the quality of the software. The results are also compared with the measurement results of previous software versions.

Performing the second validation level is a responsibility of Raditeq.

3) Validation and usage in a test house

When the new RadiMation® version has passed the second validation level, it progresses to the third validation level performed by Kiwa Dare Services.

This validation level consists of two stages. In the first stage the software is used to perform measurements on a 'known' EUT. These results are then compared to manual measurements to verify the quality of the software. When the new software version has passed the first stage, it progresses to the second stage where it is installed and used by Kiwa Dare Services for at least two weeks. Any issues that are reported during this period, will be investigated and resolved. An updated version of RadiMation® is created if needed.

Performing the third validation level is a responsibility of Kiwa Dare Services.

When this validation is succesful, the RadiMation® version will be officially released, and will become available for all end-users.

4) Validation by end-users

Once the new RadiMation® version has passed the third validation level, it progresses to the fourth (and last) validation level, which should be performed by the end-users of RadiMation®.

When end-users receives a new RadiMation® version they should perform a validation of the software in their own test setup. The parts that should be validated by the end-user are:

  • Correct control of the used measurement equipment
  • Validation of the software according to internal quality standards
  • Possible verification and comparison of measurements on a 'known' EUT

We strongly advise to only start to use RadiMation® after this validation is performed.

Performing the fourth validation level is a responsibility of the end-user.

Improved and new functionality

Multiband emission

Several improvements are applied to the multiband emission tests:

  • Show related limit lines during measurement of the trace
  • Intermediate retrieved measurement results from a (scanning) receiver are now directly displayed in the graphs
  • Also partially performed emission scans are now stored
  • It is now possible to take more than 100 sweeps and detect more than 100 peaks.

And of course a lot of bugs are fixed, some of which are:

  • Checking of the valid frequency range of the used test-equipment.
  • During a measurement only the ‘Both peak max’ graph is shown.
  • In Conducted emission the graphs do not include the polarization anymore

The most important improvement to multiband emission, is that the speed of the test has improved dramatically, so the total time needed to perform a multiband emission test is much less than it took in RadiMation version 5.2

Multiband immunity

In RadiMation 5.3 we continued to improve the functionality of Multiband immunity. Now some very helpful and often requested features are also available. Some of the new functions that are implemented are:

  • Reverse frequency sweeping
  • Limitation on x-times the calibrated power
  • A table with the data that is shown in the graph (including a time-column)
  • If the test is continued, the end-user is asked on which location the test should continue.
  • Frequency steps per decade / per octave / for a fixed time period can be configured
  • External amplitude, frequency or Pulse modulation can be configured, where RadiMation controls the external modulation source that drives the RF Signal generator.
  • Support for magnetic field testing

And of course a lot of bugs are fixed, some of which are:

  • Checking of the valid frequency range of the used test-equipment.
  • It is not necessary anymore to include a turntable or an antenna tower in the used test-site
  • And many more…

Device Drivers

During the development of RadiMation 5.3 we also switched to another, newer compiler that is used to create the device drivers. This change has a lot of advantages, and it improves the stability and possibilities of the device drivers. All device driver configuration windows are now reimplemented, and use an easier to use user-interface. Also a lot of memory leaks and crashes are solved. Beside these improvements, we also introduced some new functionality in RadiMation regarding the used device drivers. It is now possible to check if a device is correctly connected to the PC, by clicking on the ‘Check’ button on the device driver configuration window (see the screenshot below). This makes it much easier to check if the configuration of the device driver is correct. Also all tests in RadiMation now also maintain the version and date of the DLL that contains the device driver. This makes it possible to review the exact version of the device driver (and it’s configuration), after the test has been performed.

And of course we continued to make create new device drivers, and to improve the existing device drivers.

External test results

A new test has been added to RadiMation. This new test can be used to maintain and store data of external test applications. The test can be started from the menu:

   Menu.png Tests
      Menu.png Tools
         Menu.png External test results

In the shown TSF file, it is possible to attach (Add) one or more files from the PC. The contents of the file are then copied into the RadiMation test. When the test is started or reviewed from the EUT, it is possible to view or edit the captured file. If during the editing the file is being changed, RadiMation will monitor these changes, and it will suggest to update the internal data with the changes. RadiMation is thus maintaining and storing the data of test results from external applications.

The idea of this functionality is that all the test-data (also from other test-applications) are maintained as part of the EUT file in RadiMation. This will simplify the data maintenance in your laboratory, because only the RadiMation EUT file needs to be stored.

Report generator

RadiMation version 5.2 and lower have a known problem, that the generation of the report could be slow on hyper-threaded or multi core PC’s. RadiMation 5.3 includes a workaround that makes the generation of the report fast again. Also other improvements are included in the report generator:

  • several speed improvements
  • more report generator codes are included
  • possibility to use more advanced constructions to generate the report

RadiMation Core improvements

Also in the RadiMation Core application, several improvements and new functionality are implemented. One of the most asked questions is, if it is possible that a question is raised when RadiMation is closed. This is implemented in version 5.3, and RadiMation will thus ask if you are sure to close RadiMation when for example the top-right x is pressed.

Another big improvement is that RadiMation is now aware of negative turn table angles. It is thus not necessary anymore that the turntable is always moving from 0° to 360°, this will thus allow a more flexible usage of the turntable.

In RadiMation 5.3 it is also possible to include multiple cables on a specific location of a test-equipment. RadiMation will combine all the separate cable segments to a single correction file, and use the combined correction in all the tests. There is thus no need for the end-user anymore to do the calculation of the combined corrections himself. Also (temporarily) swapping of cables is now much easier and more logical.

Known Problems

R&S spectrum analysers/receivers communication problems

It has been detected that on very fast PC’s, the communication with modern Rohde & Schwarz spectrum analyser/receivers can be corrupted. These problems are related to the speed of the PC and the used GPIB bus. The R&S receivers that are related to this problem are: ESI/ESIB/ESPI/ESCI/FSE/ESU.

We strongly advise that you slow down the GPIB communication speed between the PC and R&S receivers. Follow these steps to do so:

  1. Open the configuration window of RadiMation®
  2. Select the Device Drivers tab
  3. Select Receivers/Spectrum Analysers
  4. Select the R&S receiver
  5. Press Edit to open the device driver configuration window
  6. Press the Advanced button
    • The GPIB configuration dialog of the R&S device driver will be shown
  7. Activate the Show advanced Settings checkbox
    • The GPIB Configuration dialog will show a Wait time box
  8. Specify 3000 us in the Wait time box
  9. Close all windows, and repeat these steps for each and every R&S receiver.

Configuring the R&S device drivers in this way will slow down the GPIB bus, by ensuring that at least 3 milliseconds delay are included between each GPIB call to the R&S devices

Previous RadiMation® version raises a run-time error

If the latest RadiMation® version and an older RadiMation® version are installed on the same PC, it can happen that the older RadiMation® version raises an error during the start of RadiMation.

This error is raised because a file that is shared by both versions is written in a newer file format that cannot be read anymore by older software. The solution for this problem is to remove the file: C:\Program Files\DARE Development\RadiMation\Confdvdr\CUSTOMIZ.DAT. The CUSTOMIZ.DAT file is used to remember customizations of the colour of the graphs, so removing the file will not influence the measurements. However the graph colours will probably be changed to the defaults as specified by RadiMation®.

Windows 8, Windows 7, XP, Vista and older are not supported

Due to the fact that Microsoft has ended their support for these versions we are also forced to stop the support of RadiMation® running on these operating systems. This means that we do not test if RadiMation® is working correctly on these operating systems. However it could be that RadiMation® is still working correctly. We strongly suggest upgrading your operating system to Windows 10 (21H2). Both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions of the Microsoft Windows Operating system are supported.

Future Improvements

The Multiband tests do not yet have all the functionality that is present in the older single band tests. The main goal for the next RadiMation release is to implement all the functionality that is available in the single band tests, but is not yet implemented in the multiband tests.

The description of the new Multiband Emission and Immunity module in the User Manual is not yet completed. We are working on improving the contents of the User Manual. In specific for the Multiband Emission and Immunity module, but also the other parts of the User Manual will be updated. These updates of the manual are planned to be included in the next RadiMation release.

Currently we are improving our service to the end-users that have a support contract. These users will in the future be able to download the User Manual and other information from an internet site. We will soon provide you with the information and instructions.


We think that this letter contains all the information that is needed before your system is upgraded. If you have any additional questions or remarks please let us know through your reseller.
