Amplifier Research - emcware® 7.0 suite test software

Comprehensive EMC test software for radiated susceptibility, conducted immunity, radiated emissions, and conducted emissions, with the ability to do multi-tone testing. Windows compatible.

emcware® by AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation provides automated Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing and report generation for all types of users from corporate to professional test laboratories. Through its unique workflow and hundreds of predefined test profiles, allows EMC test engineers more test time through minimal training, and highly efficient equipment and test setup when compared to the competition.

Software Design 

emcware is designed to be user-friendly yet extremely flexible. It is broken up into modules based on different types of EMC testing. Within each module, there are pre-defined standards. The ability to create custom test standards is also provided. 


Multi-Tone Capable 

Radiated and Conducted Immunity testing can be accelerated by testing multiple frequencies simultaneously. emcware is capable of simultaneous control of up to four signal generators and managing the applied frequencies. 


Equipment Management 

Contained within emcware is a built-in Equipment List Manager. This tool allows for equipment to be entered one time and then accessed from within any of the modules. The Equipment List Manager also keeps track of calibration dates and can warn the user when the calibration date of a specific piece of equipment is approaching. 


EUT Monitoring 

Use custom equipment or a National Instruments DAQ card to monitor and report the status of the equipment under test (EUT). The National Instruments DAQ device can monitor Analog or Digital levels from the EUT or reset the EUT using the Digital Outputs. Custom equipment, in conjunction with dynamic link library (DLL) files, allows for complete EUT monitoring and control. 


Instrument Drivers 

Instrument control is provided through AR RF/ Microwave Instrumentation’s extensive driver library. Creation of new drivers for equipment that is not currently supported is available upon request. Drivers can also be created and imported by the user in the form of dynamic link libraries (DLL) files. For a list of supported remote interfaces, see the Included Equipment Drivers section of the spec sheet


Signal Routing 

Automatic RF signal routing is implemented using one or more AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation Model SC2000 System Controllers. 


Reports 

Extensive report generation capability is built into each module. These reports can be customized by the user. All reports are created in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel or PDF. 


Help Instructions 

A detailed help utility is included with the emcware®. The contents of the help instructions can be searched by keyword or topic. Open the help file using the context-sensitive help buttons located throughout the user interface. 


Licensing 

emcware® is conveniently licensed using a USB license key that enables full functionality of the software for a single PC. For more details, see the Licensing Information section on Page 5 of the spec sheet


AR Systems Compatibility 

Easily setup and control select AR Systems using built-in equipment setups. See the spec sheet for a complete list.

More Product Information

Amplifier Research

Founded in 1969, Amplifier Research is a world-class source for broadband high power, solid state, RF amplifiers and microwave amplifiers, TWT amplifiers, log periodic antennas and high-gain horn antennas, plus EMC test equipment, software and field probes and monitors. Throughout its 50 years (and counting), AR has been responsible for a number of “firsts” which have transformed not only EMC and RF testing but also the industries and equipment affected by these tests. A sampling of these innovations includes: 

  • 10,000-watt tube amplifiers,100-watt solid-state • 100-1000 MHz instantaneous bandwidth Class A amplifier 
  • First production 16,000-watt solid-state linear amplifier from 10 kHz to 225 MHz 
  • 50,000-watt Class A power amplifier up to 225 MHz 
  • 0.7 to 6 GHz high-power Class A & AB amplifier 

Additionally, they push the limits of state-of-the-art design and have ruggedized their products to make them virtually indestructible. AR amplifiers are fully tested to the extreme to ensure customers receive a product that is built to last.
