HP Introduces Measurement Systems for EMC Precompliance

Hewlett-Packard Co. introduced a family of fully-automated precompliance measurement systems that help product manufacturers meet electromagnetic compliance (EMC) regulations and reduce product-development costs and time to market.

Designed specifically for in-house precompliance and diagnostic EMC measurements, the HP E7400 A-series EMC analyzers help development engineers perform EMC testing throughout the design and evaluation processes. In-house testing can isolate electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems early.

Users require no special knowledge or training to perform precompliance measurements. They can capture measurements directly from the front panel of the EMC analyzer or use the interactive software to carry out tests from a PC. Automatic remeasure functions deliver results for one or more signals. The color display and built-in floppy-disk drive provide visual clarity of signals and the ability to export measurement results. The software enables users to make fully automated measurements.

To certify products, companies require improved frequency and amplitude accuracy and EMI measurement capabilities above one gigahertz (GHz). To address these needs, HP offers the HP E7400 A-series EMC analyzer in frequencies up to 26.5GHz.. In addition, the HP E7415A EMC measurement software helps reduce startup time with fully automated, easy-to-learn diagnostic and EMI measurements.
