Creating a pause in a multi-band test[edit]
There is no real pause inside multi band, but in general the only time you need a pause is when changing the test set up. For this you can use the before and after action in the test set up.
How can I reset the administrator password in RadiMation®?[edit]
The password of the administrator cannot be cleared, it is however possible to remove the administrator account. If RadiMation® is started without an Administrator account, RadiMation® will automatically create a new Administrator account with the default RadiMation® password.
Use the following steps to remove the Administrator account:
- Close RadiMation® before continuing.
- In the RadiMation® CONFDVDR folder (most often: C:\Program Files\DARE Development\RadiMation\CONFDVDR\) the file SETTINGS.INI is present. Open this file, and search for the keyword [Engineers]. After this line, search for the engineer that is named Administrator. (for example: Engineer1=Administrator).
- Remove all the lines that start with: Engineer<NR>, where the <NR> is the same number (in the example: 1) as the number of the engineer that was named Administrator.
- Save the file and start RadiMation®.

How can I determine the attenuation of a cable with RadiMation®[edit]
RadiMation® has attenuation measurement build in. It consist of 2 phases, the system calibration and the eut calibration. The system the measurements are part of a calibration so the EUT window must be closed before you can access the feature. You can reach the system calibration by:
-
Calibration
- System Calibration
- Attenuation / Gain
-
-
-
Then create a new EUT for the cable(s) you want to measure.
- Calibration
- E.U.T. Calibration
- Attenuation / Gain
-
-
-
Select the create system calibration and run the test. More information can be found here
How can I add drivers of uncontrolled hardware like LISN's?[edit]
RadiMation® uses drivers for all devices used during an EMC measurement, even passive components. With passive components this may seem an overkill, as nothing is being changed/controlled with the device. Frequency limitation is the main reason, if RadiMation® does not know the frequency range, it can not warn you that you are making possible mistake. To add a passive component yourself, you go to the device group in the configuration window.
For example, a LISN.
- Select "Configurable LISN" and press the New button.
- Name device correctly, and press Ok.
- Select the device in the configuration window, and press Edit.
- In the device configuration window press the Advanced button.
- Change the frequency settings to match the specification of the device, and press Ok.
For all other passive devices there are configurable devices available.
