This template is used to show the details of a supported device driver. Possible named arguments are:

  • DeviceBrand: The brand of the device (also known as the manufacturer)
  • DeviceType: The type of the device (the type-number/description)
  • DLLFile: The name of the DLL in which the device driver is included, which can be a ;-seperated list of DLL files.
  • SupportedDeviceTypes: The numeric encoding of the supported device types
  • DeviceDriverName: The internal device driver name
  • HideAutoData: If the automatic 'guessed' data should be hidden (1: Hides the data)
  • GenericPage: The name of the page with some generic data of this device (which is used to group information of a serie of similar devices)

If an image of the device is also available, an image of the device will also be shown. The name of the images should match with (and case is important!):

  • Image:<DeviceBrand> <DeviceType>.jpg
  • Image:<DeviceBrand> <DeviceType> front.jpg
  • Image:<DeviceBrand> <DeviceType> back.jpg

If a page is present which is using less words, those pages will also automatically be linked.

An example of this template is:

“ Example:

The Rohde & Schwarz ESIB 7 Input 1 device driver is a Power Meter which is supported by RadiMation®.

 

Configuration[edit]

The following tabs are available in the advanced configuration of the DeviceDriverInfo:

PowerMeterPanel.png


ScreenElementDescription.svg Pre Wait Time Wait time before starting the measurement-loop. Can be used to wait for a signal generator, and or amplifier to stabilize.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Measure The minimum amount of measurements in the measure loop. Continues to loop even if power level is stable.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Wait Time The wait time between each measurement is taken, during the measurement-loop.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Max. Difference If the measured power between each measurement in the measurement-loop, is less than this value. The measured power is stable. The measurement-loop will then stop.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Max. Measure The maximum amount of measure times, for the measurement-loop


According to these settings, RadiMation® will perform a minimum of 3 power measurements with a wait time between the measurements of 75ms. If all those 3 measurements are within 0.1 dB, the power measurement is assumed to be stable, and RadiMation® will continue to average of the last 3 measurements. If the difference between the measurements is larger than the specified 0.1 dB, an additional power measurement will be performed, and the last 3 samples will be compared to the 0.1 dB difference again. At most 10 measurements will be performed if the difference between the 3 samples will not be within the specified 0.1 dB.

Both for the leveling, and the monitoring these settings can be set individually. The leveling is used, whenever RadiMation® is measuring the power, to regulate the signal generator. If the powermeter is only used as input, without regulating on it, then the monitoring settings are used.

More detailed information on how to achieve a fast and stable power measurement is available in Application Note 106: Powermeter parameter configuration.

ConfigurableFrequencyRangeTab.png

The frequency range of the DeviceDriverInfo as provided by the manufacturer is shown and selected as default. It is possible to overrule these frequencies and to manual adjust the allowed frequency range of the DeviceDriverInfo.

ScreenElementDescription.svg Use default start frequency If the checkbox is checked, the default start frequency will be used as the lowest usable frequency in a test for this device.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Custom start frequency If the Use default start frequency checkbox is unchecked, another start frequency (expressed in MHz) can be specified. The customized start frequency will then be used as the lowest usable frequency in a test for this device. The customized frequency can be a limitation or an extension of the default start frequency.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Use default stop frequency If the checkbox is checked, the default stop frequency will be used as the highest usable frequency in a test for this device.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Custom stop frequency If the Use default stop frequency checkbox is unchecked, another stop frequency (expressed in MHz) can be specified. The customized stop frequency will then be used as the highest usable frequency in a test for this device. The customized frequency can be a limitation or an extension of the default stop frequency.


Specifying a different frequency range can be useful if for example:

  • A device (like a coupler, antenna, injection device, cable, etc...) is still useable (but out of specification) outside the standard suggested frequency range.
  • An external mixer is used to measure an extended frequency range.
  • An up- or down-convertor is used to shift the frequency range.
  • A newer model of a device is present that has an extended frequency range, and still uses the same remote control commands.

Be careful changing these setting as RadiMation® is no longer able to verify if the DeviceDriverInfo is used outside frequency range that is specified by the manufacturer. This may result to serious damage of your measurement device.

DeviceDriverReferenceTab.png

The settings on the Reference tab influence the measurement frequency that is communicated to the measurement device. The frequency that is forwarded to the measurement device can for example be used by the device to perform the measurement on the correct frequency, or use the correct internal frequency dependant correction or calibration factor on the measurement result. Normally it is desired that the measurement frequency is the same as the carrier frequency of the signal generator. In some situations it can however be required to communicate a different frequency to the measurement device. In such a situation the settings on the Reference tab can be modified.


ScreenElementDescription.svg Signal generator frequency Selects that the actual carrier frequency of the signal generator is communicated to the measurement device. This is the default behaviour.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Fixed reference frequency Selects that a fixed frequency (independent of the signal generator carrier frequency) is communicated to the measurement device.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Signal generator frequency offset An additional offset frequency specified in MHz, that is added to frequency that is communicated to the measurement device. This value can be positive or negative, and defaults to 0.0 MHz.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Specific reference frequency The fixed reference frequency specified in MHz that is communicated to the measurement device, when the Fixed reference frequency option is selected.


Warning-48px.png
 Warning: When a different reference frequency is specified and communicated to the measurement device, it is only relevant for the measurement device. A correction file that is attached to the device driver in RadiMation® will still use the correction value that is specified for the actual signal generator carrier frequency.
