®
The Heart of each EMC Test System
Flexible Versatile Extensible

EMC test systems can vary from simple systems with one or two instruments to
complex installations with many measurement instruments connected. In order
to enable full automated testing, these devices and measuring instruments, as
well as the connections made between amplifiers, power meters, antennas and
measurement receivers, should be controlled in an automated manner. Where
RadiMation® acts as the software centre of the system; the RadiCentre® systems
are the core of the hardware.
Flexible
To cover both single instrument applications as well as small or large EMC test
systems the RadiCentre® mainframe is available as a one-slot (CTR1001S),
four-slot (CTR1004B) or nine-slot version (CTR1009B). Each slot can be
configured at the user’s choice with different plug-in cards allowing any
combination of functionality.
Extensible
The RadiCentre® is expandable with many different plug-in cards.

Space effective
Where in general controllers, probes, switches and other equipment take one or
more units in a 19-inch cabinet, the RadiCentre® systems allow for combining
up to seven devices in just three units height (3U). The RadiCentre® is available
as a desktop and 19-inch rack mountable unit. This has either two- or seven free
plug-in card slots as two of the slots are reserved for a power supply and PC
interface plug-in card.
Easy to use
The system is “Plug and Play”, which means that every plug-in card is
automatically recognized, initialized and ready for use. The user can configure
and control the card by means of a TFT touch screen (CTR1009B/CTR1004B).
Software support
The RadiCentre® is software controllable with RS-232 or USB. The CTR1009B
and CTR1004B can be optionally controlled by IEEE-488. Beside our
RadiMation® integral EMC measurement software, the system can be controlled
by all EMC measurement packages, as all software codes to control the unit are
available.
Linux Based & Software upgrades
The system is Linux based thus offering great stability and fast start-up times.
As all embedded software is stored in flash, it is very easy to upgrade the
system with new versions, thus protecting the initial investment.
