Using a RPR powermeter stand-alone with RadiMation® free[edit]
In this application note we explain how you can use RadiMation free to use the RPR stand-alone.
Overview[edit]
Our powermeters are intended to be used in a automated test-setup. They can also be used stand-alone to measure power. To use it stand-alone you need to install the drivers, install RadiMation free, add the power meter in RadiMation and set it up. This application note will describe this step by step.
Download RadiMation free[edit]
Explanation:
RadiMation is the free version of RadiMation. This is actually the normal production version when there is no licensing dongle available.
Go to our support website:
Download the latest version of RadiMation.
Using a spectrum analyser[edit]
To use only the spectrum analyser we need to configure the the Forward power meter to be the spectrum analyser device driver in the testsite. Keep in mind to not select any device for the sensor power meter on the second tab.

Using a broadband powermeter and a spectrum analyser[edit]
When using the powermeter to setup the required testlevel and a spectrum analyser to measure the harmonics we need to setup the forward power meter to the power meter and on the devices 2 tab we select the spectrum analyser.

Configuring the test[edit]
To start the harmonics test open a EUT file and choose the menu:
-
Calibration
- EUT Calibration
- Harmonics
-
-
-
Test results[edit]
In the test results it is possible to show the forward power measured. When only using a spectrum analyser this will be the same as the first harmonic and when also using the broadband power meter this of course will be the broadband power measured.
