SOFTWARE: icd.control
SOFTWARE FOR CONDUCTED IMMUNITY FROM DC TO 1GHZ
icd.control - The highlights
|
icd.control is the dedicated software for all conducted immunity testing using AMETEK CTS generators. Adopted to the generator to be controlled it offers intuitive still sophisticated set-up and user guidance, allowing fast and reliable testing, easy and convenient.

Pre-programmed Standard Test routines for fast and reliable testing
|
icd.control offers numerous Standard Test routines for various applications. With only a few steps a test is set up. Using Standard Test routines allows fast and reliable testing.
Still these Standard Test routines can be modified and saved as user specific test routines in order to adopt special requirements which go beyond the basic request without having to program such test routines from scratch. User specific test routines are composed easy, fast and efficient. |

User Test routines - Programmed in vectors
|
Some test requirements may be too complex to be programmed in the common way. For such needs icd.control offers the vector programming mode. A test sequence can be specified with different vectors, each consisting of a start frequency/level and a stop frequency/level set of parameters. Even most complex requirements are easily set up and tested in the Vector mode.

Implementation of external measuring instruments
|
External measuring equipment, e.g. Power Meter, Oscilloscope, Spectrum Analyser) can easily be implemented in the set-up for either measuring the injected rf test signal or for EUT monitoring during test. The data logger can handle almost every kind of measuring equipment having a GPIB interface.
Up to four single channel instruments or any corresponding number of multi-channel equipment can be logged, each channel being individually controlled. Feedback signals from external instruments can be used as interrupts to control the test procedure. |

Enhanced reporting capability
|
icd.control offers an enhanced reporting capability. The complete test data including any comments entered in case of fail events is given in details. Graphics and data of the levelling, impedance characteristic and the recorded data from the used external measuring equipment can be included. Graphic information about the test set-up can be added for better documentation of the performed test.
Test reports are automatically transfered into Rich-Text-Format (rtf) and can thus be easily post-processed by any software recognising rtf format (e.g Microsoft Word). |

Enhanced calibration capability
|
icd.control offers various calibration modes in order to perform the levelling of the test set-up. The step width can be set to the minimum possible step width of the controlled CWS 500 model. Special requirements such as specified in the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for medical equipment (only positive level tolerance allowed) can be covered.
Calibration data stored in the calibration mode can be downloaded into the CWS 500 or uploaded from the CWS 500. |
