CalStan 11 – RF Measurement Software

CalStan 11 is a software tool for automation of radio frequency (RF) calibrations and measurements of EMC test sites and test equipment. The software controls the instruments via GPIB bus and LAN, reads the measurement values and computes the results. A modular concept with measurement plug-ins allows customization according to the test lab requirements.

Every measurement type is implemented as a plug in to the base application. This way the software can be extended to new functionality. Similar approach is used by implementation of device drivers, so the support for new measurement equipment can be added on customer request.

Available Measurement Plug ins
• Site VSWR Measurement according to CISPR 16-1-4
• Normalized Site Attenuation (NSA) Measurement for semi anechoic chambers according to CISPR 16-1-4 9 kHz ~ 30MHz, ANSI C63.4, Site Reference Method
• Normalized Site Attenuation (NSA) Measurement in fully anechoic rooms according to CISPR 16-1-4 Site Reference and NSA Method
• Cable loss for calibrating the losses of cables and attenuators as required by ISO 17025
• Experimental measurement for various RF-investigations like Ambient Noise Measurement, ALSE validation, Table influence

FEATURES
• Display of the measurement positions to assist test engineer
• Compliance evaluation made easy
• Instrument drivers from CalStan 10 supported
• Tracking of measurement history
• Quick and easy change of instrument settings
• Modular concept for measurement types and device drivers
• Update and support via internet (Remote Desktop)

THIS IS NEW IN CALSTAN 11 FOR CALSTAN 10 USERS
• New measurement module NSIL for site validation 9 kHz – 30 MHz
• Easy import of antenna Factors, cable loss, etc. via copy/paste
• Transducers can be combined from individual files(e.g. cable losses)
• Create individual measurement templates for routine tests
• Import pictures for documentation purposes
• Tracking measurements in the time line
• Diagrams can have logarithmic scaling and selectable magnitude of the unit
• Experimental measurement supports limit files for individual checks
