Description
The Tekbox EMC compliance software EMCview for PCs is a user-friendly EMC pre-compliance testing of radiated and conducted emissions. It is a perfect complement for automated testing using our LISNs, RF current probes, measurement antennas and TEM Cells.
A built-in amplitude correction enables correction and conversion coefficients for cables, amplifiers, attenuators, LISNs, TEM cells, antennas, RF current probes, filters and any other component in the signal chain.
There is no need for a time-consuming setup. The SW is ready for measurements straight after installation. All emission related standards and a few automotive manufacturer standards are pre-configured in corresponding project files. The project files take care of all necessary settings to conduct standard compliant measurements. Besides using pre-configured projects, the user can easily create his own projects using a built in editor or any simple text editor.
The graph supports two complete measurement runs such as for example Average / Quasi-Peak or Peak / Quasi Peak and in addition a fast Quasi-Peak scan of critical peaks. Graphs can be saved and overlayed with newer measurements to track and document design modifications.
Furthermore, EMCview together with our GPS receiver can be used to carry out RF-coverage measurements. An export feature creates KML files which links the result to google maps.
Immunity testing is supported with dedicated menus, controlling the tracking generator of the spectrum analyzer.
EMCview currently supports the following spectrum analyzers
- Rigol (DSA and RSA)
- Siglent (SSA/SSA plus/SSA -R and SVA) Siglent EU, Siglent USA
- R&S (FPC and FPH)
- Teledyne Test Tools T3SA series
- BK Precision 2683 series
- ComPower SPA-900TG series
- Multicomp MP700xyz series
- TheEMCShop ESA and RESA series
- UNI-T UTS series
- Keysight models N9321C, N9322C
- ScientiFic SMS1000, SMS3000 analyzer series
The spectrum analyzer should be equipped with the EMI option.
Tekbox offers two license options:
- Analyzer-coupled – the license is coupled to the serial number of the spectrum analyzer. It can be installed on any number of PCs, but it can only control one dedicated spectrum analyzer
- PC-coupled: the license is coupled to the Host ID of the PC. It can control any of the supported spectrum analyzer models, but it can only be installed on one dedicated PC.
NOTE: Software limitation without a license: the measurement is limited to the frequency range below 10MHz

EMCView Tutorial
In this video, a step by step guidance to use Tekbox EMCView software is provided to measure conducted emission using a LISN. Without segment scanning, measurement results are sometimes inaccurate, the reason for this phenomenon is well explained. Having a software that automatically does the segment 'stitching' is a very efficient way of doing pre-compliance EMC test.
EMCView -More Advanced Features (Simultaneous Scan, QP with drift)
In this video, we explored two more advanced features of EMCView. Simultaneous scanning is the new feature of the newly released version while QP scan with drift is useful for emission spectrums that could change with temperature/operation modes.
Predicting Far-field Radiation - A TEM cell approach
In this video, we demonstrated a method of predicting far field radiation by testing a DUT in a TEM cell. Results are obtained and compared with the test lab results. Using a TEM Cell to predict radiated emission of a DUT is a good approach in the early stage of the R&D development.
