RadiMation forum

Hello John,

although i've not commented it here, the FC05 driver works as expected. We have found no problems with this driver.

Thank you for the good work.

Best regards,

Toni

Hello John,

that will fit our needs for sure. Is there any possibility to predefine additional fields in 'General Information' (.ini file, advanced options...)? I looked in the Wiki and find no answer.

Thank you in advance,

Toni

Hello John, after installing the FC05 update (V2.3), things have improved partially. The tests were performed in radiated emission manual mode. Radimation version 5.8.35 with 25.07.2012 driver system. Interesting things: -Turntable is detected & can be positioned correctly. Turntable position is not...

Hello John, first of all, sorry for the delay. I've been very busy these days. The new drivers perform more or less as the previous ones. System starts moving (movement is completed correctly), stops, but system keep waiting and program become unresponsive. I've captured the trace moving turntable &...

Hello John, in our daily work we have face the necessity of comparing two (or more) measurements in order to see the differences (i.e. two conducted emission graphs). Nowadays there is the possibility of exporting the data and then compare it externally, but if you have to compare measurements with ...

Hello John, The FC05 returns an error: "-241: Hardware missing" GPIB controller could not connect to turntable/mast. But i can assure that both turntable & mast were responsive. How long does it take for the polarization to change if you trigger this manually? We expect that the FC05 will complete t...

Hello John, yesterday i managed to have some time to test the drivers again. To test the drivers i get into radiated emission multiband. I tested the FC05 controller both for antenna mast & turntable. The first thing to notice is that system check sometimes fail to recognize FC05 controller. Trying ...

Hello John, finally i got some time to test the last drivers. I'm glad to tell you that now both turntable and antenna mast are moving. Unfortunately, once the movement has stopped the system returns a message indicating that not all bytes have been delivered to the GPIB interface. I'm afraid that t...

Hello John, this morning i tested the new drivers. Unfortunately the debugging stopped at the FC05 driver check with a 'FC05 not connected'. The surprisingly point is that i tried to log communication with the NI Spy, but it shows no GPIB interaction at all (i double checked that NI spy was working)...

Hi, through the daily usage of Radimation i came across some minor limitations in describing the EUT environment/changes +EUT information -> would be very helpful to allow inclusion of pictures/links to documents +Notes -> in order to emphasize some results (i.e. PASS/NO PASS) to see relevant data a...

Hi again John,

do we have any updates on the subject?

Regards,

Toni

Hi John,

Received. If there is anything else i could do meanwhile, please let me know.

Thanks,

Toni

Hi John, although i had not write down explicitly before i came to the same conclusion as you: Frankonia controller implementation is somewhat wrecked. That said, i check the latest drivers and now FC05 is correctly detected. But now, when the measure is started a runtime error (28) appears. After a...

Hello again John, bad news, new drivers (20120425) don't detect (in the driver check) the FC05 neither with null delay nor with 100ms delay. I noticed that advanced settings for the driver are not remembered between configurations. After that I reinstalled the first version (20120411) and FC05 is de...

Hi John, sort answer to your questions: Is it correct that the Frankonia FC05 is configured to GPIB address 15? Yes Does this mean that you did get a response on the *IDN? question, when you tried it manually? Yes Regarding the drivers i'll give them a try in a couple of hours, but first i will resc...

Hi John, yesterday i installed the new drivers and tested them with radimation (5.3.34). Surprisingly, now the FC05 doesn't get recognised in the first check and radimation returns a timeout. After the check, the turntable and mast were responsive (tested with FC05 propietary program). I tried to re...

Hello again John, i've had some time to capture the NI trace you asked for. I agree with you that usually *OPC command is used. Why they (Frankonia) have not used it is out of my understanding. The NI file attached logs the interaction just before i started anechoic chamber (multiband) test. There i...

Hello John, first of all, i want to thank you for your promtly answer. Last week i had some time to test the new drivers. The instalation of the turntable and antena mast now gives no error and the hardware is properly detected. But the problem arises when you try to use them. I've tried to change a...

Hi, i write this post because in our lab we have a Frankonia FC05 turntable which is controlled through GPIB & a Frankonia propietary program. We are now migrating to radimation and we want to control it in order to automate the measurements. In the device driver list for turntables, both Frankonia ...
