The Configurable LISN device driver is a LISN which is supported by RadiMation®.  

Configuration[edit]

The following tabs are available in the advanced configuration of the Configurable LISN:

ConfigurableFrequencyRangeTab.png

The frequency range of the Configurable LISN 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 Configurable LISN.

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 Configurable LISN is used outside frequency range that is specified by the manufacturer. This may result to serious damage of your measurement device.

The Configurable LISN device driver can be used to remote control a LISN, even if no device driver is available for that LISN in RadiMation®. This device driver contains several fields where the correct commands can be specified that should be transmitted to the LISN. These remote control commands are specific for that brand and model of the LISN, and are often available in the (remote programming) manual of the LISN.

ScreenElementDescription.svg Reset The command that should be transmitted when the device is resetted at the begin of the test. If no command is specified, nothing will be transmitted.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Init
ScreenElementDescription.svg Get ID b
ScreenElementDescription.svg Returned ID b
ScreenElementDescription.svg Deinit b

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.
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 frequenc 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.


ConfigurableLISNLineCommandsTab.png


ScreenElementDescription.svg Neutral The command that should be transmitted when the 'Neutral' line of the LISN should be selected. If no command is specified, nothing will be transmitted.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Line 1 The command that should be transmitted when the 'Line 1' line of the LISN should be selected. If no command is specified, nothing will be transmitted.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Line 2 The command that should be transmitted when the 'Line 2' line of the LISN should be selected. If no command is specified, nothing will be transmitted.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Line 3 The command that should be transmitted when the 'Line 3' line of the LISN should be selected. If no command is specified, nothing will be transmitted.


Also the following additional buttons are available in this device driver:

ScreenElementDescription.svg Ok Closes the dialog, where all the changed settings are stored.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Cancel Closes the dialog, where all the changed settings are discarded.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Communication Opens an additional dialog which allows to set the correct communication medium to communicate with the device, including any relevant settings.
