Basic safety instructions

1. The product may be operated only under
the operating conditions and in the
positions specified by the manufacturer. Its
ventilation must not be obstructed during
operation. Unless otherwise specified, the
following requirements apply to
Rohde & Schwarz products:
prescribed operating position is always with
the housing floor facing down, IP protection
2X, pollution severity 2, overvoltage
category 2, use only in enclosed spaces,
max. operation altitude max. 2000 m.
Unless specified otherwise in the data
sheet, a tolerance of ±10% shall apply to
the nominal voltage and of ±5% to the
nominal frequency.

2. Applicable local or national safety
regulations and rules for the prevention of
accidents must be observed in all work
performed. The product may be opened
only by authorized, specially trained
personnel. Prior to performing any work on
the product or opening the product, the

product must be disconnected from the
supply network. Any adjustments,
replacements of parts, maintenance or
repair must be carried out only by technical
personnel authorized by Rohde & Schwarz.
Only original parts may be used for
replacing parts relevant to safety (e.g.
power switches, power transformers,
fuses). A safety test must always be
performed after parts relevant to safety
have been replaced (visual inspection, PE
conductor test, insulation resistance
measurement, leakage current
measurement, functional test).

3. As with all industrially manufactured goods,
the use of substances that induce an
allergic reaction (allergens, e.g. nickel)
such as aluminum cannot be generally
excluded. If you develop an allergic
reaction (such as a skin rash, frequent
sneezing, red eyes or respiratory
difficulties), consult a physician immediately
to determine the cause.

1171.0000.42-02.00 Sheet 2

Safety Instructions

4. If products/components are mechanically
and/or thermically processed in a manner
that goes beyond their intended use,
hazardous substances (heavy-metal dust
such as lead, beryllium, nickel) may be
released. For this reason, the product may
only be disassembled, e.g. for disposal
purposes, by specially trained personnel.
Improper disassembly may be hazardous to
your health. National waste disposal
regulations must be observed.

5. If handling the product yields hazardous
substances or fuels that must be disposed
of in a special way, e.g. coolants or engine
oils that must be replenished regularly, the
safety instructions of the manufacturer of
the hazardous substances or fuels and the
applicable regional waste disposal
regulations must be observed. Also
observe the relevant safety instructions in
the product documentation.

6. Depending on the function, certain products
such as RF radio equipment can produce
an elevated level of electromagnetic
radiation. Considering that unborn life
requires increased protection, pregnant
women should be protected by appropriate
measures. Persons with pacemakers may
also be endangered by electromagnetic
radiation. The employer is required to
assess workplaces where there is a special
risk of exposure to radiation and, if
necessary, take measures to avert the
danger.

7. Operating the products requires special
training and intense concentration. Make
certain that persons who use the products
are physically, mentally and emotionally fit
enough to handle operating the products;
otherwise injuries or material damage may
occur. It is the responsibility of the
employer to select suitable personnel for
operating the products.

8. Prior to switching on the product, it must be
ensured that the nominal voltage setting on
the product matches the nominal voltage of
the AC supply network. If a different voltage
is to be set, the power fuse of the product
may have to be changed accordingly.

9. In the case of products of safety class I with
movable power cord and connector,
operation is permitted only on sockets with
earthing contact and protective earth
connection.

10. Intentionally breaking the protective earth
connection either in the feed line or in the
product itself is not permitted. Doing so can
result in the danger of an electric shock
from the product. If extension cords or
connector strips are implemented, they
must be checked on a regular basis to
ensure that they are safe to use.

11. If the product has no power switch for
disconnection from the AC supply, the plug
of the connecting cable is regarded as the
disconnecting device. In such cases, it
must be ensured that the power plug is
easily reachable and accessible at all times
(length of connecting cable approx. 2 m).
Functional or electronic switches are not
suitable for providing disconnection from
the AC supply. If products without power
switches are integrated in racks or systems,
a disconnecting device must be provided at
the system level.

12. Never use the product if the power cable is
damaged. By taking appropriate safety
measures and carefully laying the power
cable, ensure that the cable cannot be
damaged and that no one can be hurt by
e.g. tripping over the cable or suffering an
electric shock.

13. The product may be operated only from
TN/TT supply networks fused with max.
16 A.

14. Do not insert the plug into sockets that are
dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all
the way into the socket. Otherwise this can
result in sparks, fire and/or injuries.

15. Do not overload any sockets, extension
cords or connector strips; doing so can
cause fire or electric shocks.

16. For measurements in circuits with voltages
V

> 30 V, suitable measures (e.g.

rms

appropriate measuring equipment, fusing,
current limiting, electrical separation,
insulation) should be taken to avoid any
hazards.

17. Ensure that the connections with
information technology equipment comply
with IEC 950/EN 60950.

18. Never remove the cover or part of the
housing while you are operating the
product. This will expose circuits and
components and can lead to injuries, fire or
damage to the product.

1171.0000.42-02.00 Sheet 3

Safety Instructions

19. If a product is to be permanently installed,
the connection between the PE terminal on
site and the product's PE conductor must
be made first before any other connection
is made. The product may be installed and
connected only by a skilled electrician.

20. For permanently installed equipment
without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or
similar protective devices, the supply circuit
must be fused in such a way that suitable
protection is provided for users and
products.

21. Do not insert any objects into the openings
in the housing that are not designed for this
purpose. Never pour any liquids onto or into
the housing. This can cause short circuits
inside the product and/or electric shocks,
fire or injuries.

22. Use suitable overvoltage protection to
ensure that no overvoltage (such as that
caused by a thunderstorm) can reach the
product. Otherwise the operating personnel
will be endangered by electric shocks.

23. Rohde & Schwarz products are not
protected against penetration of water,
unless otherwise specified (see also safety
instruction 1.). If this is not taken into
account, there exists the danger of electric
shock or damage to the product, which can
also lead to personal injury.

24. Never use the product under conditions in
which condensation has formed or can form
in or on the product, e.g. if the product was

ESI-K1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

1.1.1 Introduction to the Manual

The following chapters provide a com plete description of the EMI Application Software ESI-K1. Users
working with the EMI Apllication Software ESI-K1 for the first time are r ecommended to read through
chapters 1 to 4 one after the other.

Chapter 1 "Introduction", provides a general overview.
Chapter 2 "Graphical User Interface“, describes the elements of the graphical user interface.

Chapter 3 "Standard Script Description", provides information on the enclosed standard scripts.
Chapter 4 "Device Drivers", describes the function of the Rohde & Schwarz devices ESI and V-

networks.

1.1.2 Short Description

The Rohde&Schwarz EMI Software package ESI-K1 is an up-to-date and user-f riendly software which
can be ideally used for all EMI measurements of conducted and radiated interference.

The number of m easurements required to ensure electrom agnetic compatibility (EMV) is continuous ly
increasing, along with the demand for reliability, reproducibility and economic efficiency of these
measurements.

Features of the EMI Application Software ESI-K1:

TM

• User-friendly software for WINDOWS

• EMI measurements according to international commercial standards (CISPR, VDE, FCC, VCCI,

ANSI, EN)

• Possible adaptation to other standards

• Automatic and interactive mode

• Transmission factors and limit lines are automatically considered in the calculation of the results

• Evaluation of narrowband and broadband interference

• Calibration of the test setup

• Comfortable and flexible documentation of measurement results

• Various ways of data export

• Future extensions can be easily implemented due to the option concept

3.1 / 3.11 / 95 / 98 / NT 4.0

1.1.2.1 Graphical User Interface

The EMI Application Software ESI-K1 for W INDOWSTM is equipped with a graphical user interface,
which permits to start with the program immediately and can be readily operated by the user.

1108.0207.42 1-1 E-1

Introduction ESI-K1

1.1.2.2 Operating Modes of the Software

The measurem ent procedures can be executed either in interactive m ode or automatically, depending
on the application of the software.

a) Interactive mode

In interactive mode, each device c an be controlled individually by m eans of its own window. All other
functions such as measuring and analyzing functions can also be operated interactively.

b) Automatic mode

The automatic m easurement runs are im plemented by scripts of a m acro language, thus releasing the
user from routine tasks. T he scripts control the measurement run, evaluate the m easurement results
and produce the necessary reports for documentation of the measurement results.

1.1.2.3 Measuring and Analyzing Functions

The Software ESI-K1 supports a number of measuring and analyzing functions. This is necessary to
minimize the number of measurements to be performed again, which are very time-consuming.

Possible measurements are the scan, the execution of a fast overview m easurem ent (sweep) and the
measurement performed at discrete frequencies.

The most im portant ways of evaluation (data reduction) are the acc eptance analysis, peak reduction,
subrange maxima reduction and maxima reduction.

Further possible evaluations are used to combine measurement results.
A very particular type of data handling is the S-LINE correlation, which permits to convert meas urem ent

results to open-area conditions using the S-LINE cell.

1.1.2.4 Graphics and Report

Measurement results , limit lines and trans ducer fact ors can be dis played in a manif old and flex ible way
as table or graphics. Up to eight differ ent traces can be shown in a window with linear or logarithmic
frequency axis. The shape, line style and colour of the graphical elements can be optimally adapted to
the requirements of the documentation.

For interactive, graphical evaluation of the measurement results, a marker and a delta marker are
available, which can be easily positioned using the mouse. The zoom f unction permits to enlarge any
section of the measurement. The measurement results can be displayed simultaneously in various
windows.

The measurement results are summed up in a report which is configured by the user himself. In addition
to a report header, all data relevant to the measurement c an be output, e.g. scan and sweep table. T he
output of the measurem ent results, limit lines and transducers is possible both in tabular and graphical
form.

Introduction ESI-K1

1.2.3 Installation Instructions

Scope of supply of EMI Software ESI-K1:

• CD-ROM (or set of four disks) for installing the software

• Operating manual (not with an update)

The EMI Software ESI-K1 is installed on the PC from the the CD-ROM (or from the set of disks).
If necessary then a set of installation disks can be generated f rom the CD-ROM through starting the
batch file ’DISKS.BAT’. Four formatted disks will be needed then.

1.2.3.1 Manuals on the CD-ROM

On the CD-ROM there’s a subdirectory ’Manuals’ which holds PDF files that represent the manuals.
Those files can be viewed and printed with the "Acrobat Reader" from Adobe Systems Inc. It also
enables to perform full text searches.
The "Acrobat Reader" is an application which is available f r ee of c harge ( f reeware) and als o inc luded on
the CD-ROM. If that application is already installed on the PC then PDF files can be viewed without
further action. In the Internet there are many documents s tored as PDF files. The latest vers ion of the
"Acrobat Reader" can also be downloaded from the Internet (http://www.adobe.com).
To install the "Acrobat Reader" (version 3.0) f rom the CD-ROM on your computer proceed as follows
(drive D: refers to the CD-ROM drive):

a) for Windows 3.1 / 3.11 :

Open the "File" menu of the Windows program manager and select "Run".
Enter ’ D:\AcroRd16\setup ’ and follow the instructions of the installation program.

b) for Windows 95 / 98 / NT4.0 :

Go to the "Start" button and select "Run".
Enter ’ D:\AcroRd32\setup ’ and follow the instructions of the installation program.

1.2.3.2 ESI-K1 on the Controller Function of the EMI Analyzer ESI

If the application ESI-K1 shall be installed on the controller function (W indows NT ) of the EMI analyzer
ESI then the following topics have to be considered:

The built-in LCD display has a resolution of 640x480 pixels (VGA), but the application requires a
resolution of minim um 800x600 pixels (SVGA) . Therefore the application can only be operated with an
external monitor for which a higher res olution c an be selec ted. To do so the s of tkey "Ext. Monitor" in the
general setup of the instrument firmware has to be activated and then on the PC side (Windows NT) the
property settings of the ’Display’ (’Contr ol Panel’) have to be modified. Further details can be found in
the ESI manual (chapter 1.7: Connecting an External Monitor).

If the application runs on the ESI then a second GPIB interface is not necessary because it can be
replaced by the internal software interface "RSIB". Further details c an be found in chapter 4 (Operation
with the RSIB Interface).

ESI-K1 Introduction

Directory structure of EMI Software ESI-K1:

The database of EMI Software ESI-K1 is installed in the DATA directory or in
the directories below. All relevant data such as limit lines, transducers, scan
and sweep data, test results, scripts, etc. are stored here.

The executable program components (binaries, DLLs etc.) are located in the
subdirectories EXECUTE, DEVICES and ESI-K1.

The supplied database which is pre-installed by the setup program is available
under the subdirectory IMP (Import).

The background pictures for the ESI-K1 software are stored in the WMF
directory.

Note: The installation of a later version of EMI Software ESI-K1 should always be c arried out in

its own directory (without overwriting of an existing version).

Existing data sets can be exported from an older version and imported into a newer version of ESI-K1.

1.2.3.6 De-installation of ESI-K1 Software

To de-install EMI Software ESI-K1, double- c lick the Un-Install ESI-K1 icon. The de-installation s of tware
clears all subdirectories generated under the installation directory and files, except the database files
created by the user after the installation as well as the file ESI-K1.INI in the subdirectory ..\EXECUTE\.
The above-mentioned files or the paths created after the installation are to be manually cleared, as
required.

1.2.3.7 First Steps after Installation

If the application ESI-K1 is installed on an external PC (W indows 3.1 / 3.11 / 95 / 98 / NT 4) then after
being started, a messagebox c omes up which indicates that a file ’RSIB.DLL’ could not be found. The
missing file represents the internal interface on the ESI which connects the application with the
instrument. The application first tries to communicate over this interface to control the ESI. On an
external PC this mess agebox can be ignored (click OK) and so the application will continue with the
GPIB interface (file ’GPIB.DLL’ of the GPIB device driver for Windows).

Note: When the application window is minimized under Windows NT 4.0, then the window cannot

be restored with the left mouse button, but with the right mouse button instead.

Important Note:

The databases generated by the application are not designed for multi us er access, i.e. only one user
may access such a database at a time.
