Nexio · Test automation software

BAT-EMC: one software for every EMC test

Nexio is a French electromagnetic specialist founded in 2003, and BAT-EMC has been in development since 1995. It runs emission and immunity campaigns from one interface, writes the test report in your own format automatically, is independent of the instrument brands you own, and ships with drivers for more than 500 instruments. ICX Lab is the authorised distributor and provides demonstration, installation, integration and training locally.

Key feature 1 of 4 · Automatic report

Your report format, filled in automatically

Most EMC software writes its report in a fixed format of its own. If your laboratory has its own layout, someone then copies the tables and graphs out of that report, one by one, into the lab's document, for every test. BAT-EMC works the other way round: your existing report becomes the template.

Its report engine can call out every piece of data in BAT-EMC by a tag. You open your own Word report, place a tag wherever a result, table, graph or verdict belongs, and save it as the template. That is done once. From then on, every test produces the finished report in your format, with nothing to copy and nothing to edit.

Worked example

A battery-powered product with Wi-Fi 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz and Bluetooth

Seven operating modes: Wi-Fi transmitting at 2.4 GHz, in the lower and upper 5 GHz bands and at 6 GHz, Bluetooth BR/EDR, Bluetooth LE, and idle. Battery powered, so no mains-port tests.

Key feature 2 of 4 · Flexible driver structure

A driver structure as open as your laboratory

Nexio built BAT-EMC with its own flexible driver structure. Instead of a fixed list of drivers compiled into the software, each driver is an open script that can be added or changed at any time, so the instruments BAT-EMC can use are not limited to what the software shipped with. Most modern instruments can be controlled through VISA over GPIB, USB, LAN or RS-232. When an instrument is reachable through VISA and its SCPI commands are known, a driver can be written as a script, even by the user, without waiting for a software release.

SCPI commands from the instrument manual
*IDN?                 identify the instrument
*RST                  reset to a known state
:FREQ 100 MHz         set the frequency
:MEAS:VOLT?           read a value
SYST:ERR?             check for errors
VISA connection → driver script → BAT-EMC
1Write it yourselfAn instrument reachable through VISA and its SCPI command set: that is all a new driver needs, and you can create it in-house.
2Not familiar with programming?Not a problem. Contact us with the model and its manual and we will write the driver for you, free of charge.
3No VISA or SCPI support?No need to worry. For instruments controlled through the manufacturer's own software library or protocol, a special driver is developed on demand.

Key feature 3 of 4 · EUT monitoring

Know the moment the product misbehaves

Add-on licences watch the equipment under test during immunity campaigns, log every reading and act automatically when a fault appears.

Most test software either leaves EUT monitoring out or supports a short, hard-coded list of monitoring instruments. In BAT-EMC, any instrument the software can talk to can become a monitor, and with its flexible driver structure that list is almost limitless.

Scenario: radiated immunity, performance criterion A

Testing four faces of the EUT typically takes 4 to 8 hours. Under criterion A the product has to keep working within its specification for the whole run.

The traditional wayAn operator sits in front of the monitoring instrument for the whole test and watches for a pass or fail. Whether a short dropout is caught depends on who is watching, and when.
With BAT-EMC monitoringThe operator sets the pass and fail thresholds for each parameter. BAT-EMC logs every reading in step with the immunity test point, plots it on a monitoring graph and flags the frequency where a limit is crossed.
  • Several monitoring instruments at once, plotted together
  • Every reading tied to the immunity test point it was taken at
  • The graph goes straight into the report
  • The limit is the equipment you own, not the software

Key feature 4 of 4 · Automotive Emission by Band

One test plan for every OEM standard you run

CISPR 25 measures emissions band by band, and most vehicle makers' standards build on it with their own bands, detectors, bandwidths and limits. Many of those bands overlap, often with the same measurement settings but a different limit. The Automotive Emission by Band module was designed around that band approach: a wizard takes in several OEM standards at once and BAT-EMC works out the minimum set of measurements that covers all of them.

The traditional wayThe operator configures every band of every OEM standard by hand, works out where they overlap, and ends up measuring the same range more than once with the same settings.
With Automotive Emission by BandSelect the standards, and BAT-EMC loads their bands, merges the ones that share settings and generates the minimum scan list. Each range is measured once and judged against every limit that applies to it.
