Configurable EUT Controller

The Configurable EUT Controller device driver is a EUT Controller which is supported by RadiMation^®.  

For all text field applies: when a text field is left empty, no command is being send at that time.

Device Driver

Reset Text field to specify the reset command. The command is send to the device during the test initialization. Init Text field to specify the initialize command. The command is send to the device during the test initialization. Get ID Text field to specify the *IDN? query. The command is send to the device during the device check. Returned ID Text field to specify the expected respond to have the Get ID compared with. The string is used during the device check in case a query is specified. Deinit Text field to specify the deinitialize command. The command is send to the device during the test deinitialization.

Operation

During Test The command is send to the device just before starting the test. After Test The command is send to the device after finishing the test. After sending perform a read and discard result When selected the driver will perform a read after sending the command. Some device need to be read out before sending the next command.

Operation Complete

Wait for Operation Completion after sending command(s) This will append the *OPC? to the commands being send.

The following fields can be specified to send commands at each event. In several of the commands a keyword can be specified, which will be replaced by the actual value.

Test	Test started Test stopped

Signal

Frequency changed Keyword __freq__ will be replaced by the frequency in MHz. Carrier Level changed Keyword __carrier__, will be replaced by the carrier level in dBm.

Dwell-time

Dwell-time started Dwell-time stopped

Modulation

Modulation on Modulation off

The following fields can be specified to send commands at each event. Depending on the event, the keyword __result__ can be used and is replaced by a value. For example: "My forward power is __result__dBm" will be replaced by: "My forward power is -3.15dBm".

Measurements

Before Forward Power After Forward Power Keyword __result__ will be replaced by measured Forward power in dBm. Before Reflected Power After Reflected Power Keyword __result__ will be replaced by measured Reflected power in dBm. Net Forward Power Keyword __result__ will be replaced by measured Net power in dBm Field Sensor Keyword __result__ will be replaced by measured Field strength in V/m

The following fields can be specified to send commands at each event.

Antenna Tower

Antenna Tower started Antenna Tower stopped Antenna Tower changed Antenna Tower polarization

Turntable

Turntable started Turntable stopped Turntable changed

In all of the commands, it is also possible to include a keyword to insert the latest known value of another measurement value. Several keywords are available can be included in these commands. When one of these keywords is detected, it will be replaced by the corresponding value.

Some remarks should be taken into account with these keywords:

• the keywords are case sensitive,
• the latest known value at that moment will be used,
• if no value is known at all, the keyword will not be replaced, and will remain in the command,
• the values are transmitted in non-scientific notation, and will use a '.' as a decimal point.

Power expressed in milliWatt in dB values.

• 1 mW = 0 dBm

• 2 mW = 3 dBm

• 100 mW = 20 dBm

• 1 W = 30 dBm

• 100 W = 50 dBm
