1.0 Introduction
For flexible configuration of an EMC test facility and fully-automated testing, the
ETS-Lindgren EMCenter™ Modular RF Platform provides space for up to
seven plug-in cards in a 3U, 19-inch rack mount enclosure. The EMCenter can
also be used as a desktop unit.
The EMCenter is available in the following configurations:
Model 7000-001: 7-slot EMCenter Modular RF Platform
Model 7000-010: 7-slot EMCenter Modular RF Platform with GPIB
Model 7000-011: 2-slot EMCenter Modular RF Platform with GPIB
The slots can contain a user-defined combination of these ETS-Lindgren cards:
EMSwitch™, EMPower™, EMControl™, and EMSense™. When installed, each
card is automatically recognized, initialized, and ready for use. For more
information on the cards, see EMCenter Plug-In Cards (Optional) on page 8.
The EMCenter is configured and controlled using the 7-in widescreen color
thin-film transistor (TFT) touchscreen on the front panel. Additionally, the
EMCenter may be controlled from a computer using these software products:
ETS-Lindgren TILE!™ (Totally Integrated Laboratory Environment)
ETS-Lindgren EMQuest™ Data Acquisition and Analysis Software
Other test automation software
8Introduction www.ets-lindgren.com
The EMCenter contains a Vortex-embedded main processor to control all cards
and to interface with the user and/or an external computer. The operating system
is Linux-based, providing a stable operating environment, fast startup time, and
high performance. All embedded software is stored in flash, making it easy to
upgrade to new versions and future functionality.

EMSwitch is a general purpose multi-channel switch matrix used to switch the RF
path of equipment for RF measurement applications, including immunity,
emissions, and wireless measurements. EMSwitch is available with two SPDT
coaxial relays, four SPDT coaxial relays, or two SP6T coaxial relays; a 40 GHz
option is also available. EMSwitch cards switch RF signals from DC–18 GHz,
with powers up to 240 W.

The EMPower Meter Plug-in Card occupies one slot in the EMCenter and
includes four USB ports, accommodating any combination of up to four EMPower
USB RF Power Sensors.
Two versions of the EMPower sensors are available:
Model 7002-002 and Model 7002-004: Support RMS measurements
for CW signals.
Model 7002-003 and Model 7002-005: Measure RF bursts as short as
a few microseconds.
The 7002-002 and 7002-003 sensors cover the 9 kHz to 6 GHz range, and the
7002-004 and 7002-005 sensors cover the 80 MHz to 18 GHz.

EMControl is a versatile positioner controller
which enables you to synchronize the
simultaneous movements of up to two
ETS-Lindgren positioning devices
(for example, towers or turntables) and the
on/off operation of an additional auxiliary
device, such as a LISN or EUT.
