LabVIEW and EMC

[Oliver Friedrich]

Hallo LV'ers,

I'm wondering, what's the connection like between LabVIEW and EMC
(ElectroMagneticCompatibility). So a few questions:

Are there any LabVIEW solutions to make emission and/or immunity tests ?
Who knows them, are they vendor-specific? Which vendors?

Especially I'm looking for VISA-drivers for the following equipment, didn't
find anything yet in NI resources or anywhere else

Rohde&Schwarz ESHS10, RF-receiver
Marconi 2023, RF-generator
EMTEST CWS500, RF-generator
EMTEST EFT500, Burst-generator
EMTEST VCS500, Surge-generator
Anritsu ML4801A, power meter.

Does anyone have VISA-drivers of these devices. If there is a couple of
people interested in these drivers, maybe our company develops it
(Commercial development). This isn't
intended to be an ad, but maybe,
someone is interested.

Hello,

I was not able to find any resources here at NI for using LabVIEW in EMC applications. I did a websearch (at google.com) for "LabVIEW EMC" (without the quotes) and found several hits, a few of which seem like companies that use LabVIEW with EMC applications. I recommend you check out these resources.

I also did some quick web searches for instrument drivers for the instruments you had listed, but unfortunately was unable to find anything helpful. It looks like you might just have to write those drivers yourself after all!

I wish you luck with your application. Have a pleasant day.
