RadiMation® has got an amplifier control, the user can control amplifiers during or out side a measurement. This functionality is desired because some amplifiers take more then 5 minutes to heat up and be ready for use. With amplifier control you can already heat up the needed amplifier while doing a another test, this way you are not loosing time while waiting for the amplifier.
The amplifier control is also very useful in small tests, turning the amplifier on and off can cost a lot of time compared to the actual testing time. To reduce this time the user can turn the amplifier already in operate before starting the test, when the test has finished the amplifier is still kept in operate saving a lot of time.
With the amplifier control it is also possible to reset the amplifier when this is in an error state by an interlocked that tripped.
