Usage

The Rohde & Schwarz ESCS and Rohde & Schwarz ESHS receivers include a 'CISPR Bandwidths' (special) function. When this CISPR Bandwidths function is selected (turned on) The receiver itself defines which RBW values to use (based on the measured frequency). In that situation the RadiMation software cannot change the RBW values. So to allow that the end-user is able to select other RBW values in the RadiMation software, the CISPR Bandwidth selection should be turned OFF!!!

From RadiMation version 4.2.1 and higher we don't send the command to turn on or turn off this special function anymore. This means that the end-user can decide which option should be used, and he will be able to (special) function from the key-panel of the receiver. The RadiMation device driver will not change the setting of this 'CISPR Bandwidths' (special) function anymore.

The CISPR Bandwidth selection can be activated by turning on 'special function number 1'.

So to conclude:

  • If special function number 1 is activated in the R&S ESHS/ESCS, the receiver itself will determine the to be used RBW (based on the measured frequency). Even if the software sets a desired RBW filter, the receiver will overrule it!
  • If special function number 1 is NOT activated, the selected RBW in RadiMation will be used for the RBW during the measurement.
  • RadiMation does not activate/deactivate the special function number 1 option, so the end-user himself can determine which method they want to use.
