Before actions

In the Test Equipment you can specify 'Before actions'. This allows the end-user to add some actions that will be carried out before the equipment of the selected Test Equipment is initialized. Before actions are very useful for:

• Turning on a manual controlled amplifier
• Changing antenna height or polarization manually
• Connecting cables or making a specific measurement setup

It is also possible to specify actions that should be carried out after the equipment of the selected Test Equipment is deinitialized. This functionality is called After actions.

The easiest way to explain is by demonstrating an example.

Example

In this example, RadiMation needs to be configured for people who do not do EMC measurements every day. To work around this, the manager has come up with the idea to create the text the same as the user looks at the hardware. So instead of giving it the full name, he has chosen to describe the antenna.

The steps taken:

1. opening the Test Equipment window, and press add.

2. double click on the Messagebox,

3. Configuring the desired text in the message box window

The result will be:

Note:

Before actions and After actions are only available in multiband tests

This functionality is available in RadiMation® version 5.1 and newer.
