3.1
System Requirements
Before installing R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 you should check that your computer fulfills
the following minimum system requirements:
Operating System
-
CPU: Intel Core models or comparable with core speed > 2.4 GHz
RAM: 4 GB (Windows 7 / 8 / 10), 1 GB (Windows XP) or
Hard Disk Space: at least 1 GB free, usage of SSD recommended
Screen Resolution: at least 1280 x 1024 Pixels, 65536 colors (higher resolution
recommended). Screen size at least 17 inches.
IEEE bus interface from National Instruments:
with newest IEEE488.2 driver
Compatible cards from other manufactures are not supported !
Administrator Access Privileges during installation required
The integrated Software Update Manager requires internet access for querying the
R&S webpage on updates and important messages (for further information on how to
configure the update polling period refer to the R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 online help).
If your computer does not meet these requirements, the performance of the
software may be not ensured.
3.2
Installation Fundamentals
3.2.1
Installation Folder
The following considerations shall give the administrator of the R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32
computer some hints for the selection of the installation location.
The folder structure of R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 can be split into two sections:
Executables and device drivers
(require only read access during R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 runtime)
Data files like configuration and calibration files, test templates and test results
(require full file access during R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 runtime)
Due to security reasons the standard R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 operator will be logged in
the Windows computer as Standard or Power User. This account will not provide write
access to the standard Windows program files folder where the R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32
executables and device drivers will be installed by default.
For solving this issue the setup program allows to define another location for the R&S
EMC/AMS/WMS32 data folder (for example C:\ProgramData\EMC32 or D:\EMC32,
for installations on Windows 7 / Vista the data folder is set to the common application
data folder by default).
For all R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 users the computer administrator must set full
read and write access to this folder, to all its subfolders and to all R&S
EMC/AMS/WMS32 shortcuts.
3.2.2
For ensuring the data security of the EMC data files the file protection functions of the
Windows operating system have to be used (security section in the Windows file or
folder properties dialog).
User administration features inside R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 are not designed to ensure
data security and can therefore only be used to prevent Standard Users from modifying
essential settings inside the R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 (for example the device
configuration).
3.3
Software Installation
Both the multiple installation of R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 and the installation of
different R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 versions on one computer is not possible! If
you want to separate EMI and EMS measurements completely, you must follow
the instructions in the Online Help, chapter User Administration Different
User Profiles.
If any previous version of R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 is already installed, then first
you have to uninstall that one!
Please also refer to the chapters "Updating R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32" and
"Uninstalling R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32".
3.3.1
New Installation
All necessary information for the installation and the installation process of R&S
EMC/AMS/WMS32 are provided by the Autostart program on the R&S
EMC/AMS/WMS32 CD-ROM. Just follow the few easy steps described below and you
will have the software installed on your computer, ready to use.
Start of Installation:
1. Close all running programs.
If you are updating from a previous version > V6.10.20, this dialog will not appear
since the setup program has stored your settings in the registry. These settings will
appear in the next step as default selection.
10
7. Select R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 Software and click on the Next> button. In this step
you must select the R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 main applications and the options you
want to install. Click on the disk drive or X symbol ( ) to either select an option for
installation or remove an option. If you select a main application you can change the
installation path for the executables by clicking on the Change button (refer to
Installation Fundamentals for further information).
If you are upgrading from a version < V9.x please refer to the 'Product Cross
Reference Table' in the chapter Upgrading R&S EMC/AMS32 for further information
about which R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 options correspond to your product.
8. Click on the Next> button and change the path for the installation of the R&S
EMC/AMS/WMS32 data (refer to Installation Fundamentals for further information).
In case of an upgrade, use the path where your R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 data is
located.
11
When installing on Microsoft Windows 7 the default data folder path will be set to the
system common application data path (for example C:\ProgramData\EMC32 on
Windows 7).
By default this folder is not shown in the Windows 7/8/10 file explorer, so
changing the path to C:\EMC32 may be useful. Take also in mind that this path
later contains all your configuration and test result data for backup purpose.
12
Please note that for each R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 application or option an iKey
must be available. Otherwise the software can only be operated in demo mode,
which means that no devices can be addressed and measurements are only
performed in a simulation mode. For demonstration purposes you can use this
feature of the software
3.3.2
The R&S Driver Installer Tool is a utility program which allows to install all required USB,
VXI plug&play and other device drivers in a sequence. The Driver Installer Tool may be
started either immediately after the R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 installation or via the entry
in the Rohde & Schwarz program group.
The driver installer tool runs the setup programs from the R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 CDROM root folder which may have to be adapted if the CD-ROM image location was
changed after the initial installation. Before running the installation ticks the device
drivers which are required for the devices in your system. For further information on the
supported devices by R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 and the required drivers please refer to
the list of supported devices in the R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 CD Auto Start program on
the R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 CD.
13
If you update R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 the R&S Driver Installer Tool will check for
installed drivers and thus selects only drivers with older versions installed for updating.
If you add a new device to the R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 device list which
requires a VXI driver you may optionally start the Driver Installer Tool in R&S
EMC/AMS/WMS32 from the driver missing warning dialog.
If you run an update of R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 it may be required to update
the drivers as well. Thus you see the new version of the driver delivered with
this R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 release in the appropriate column of the driver
installer tool.
Some driver may need a Windows restart after installation is completed. In this
case you either should postpone the Windows restart action or you must
resume the driver installation after this driver manually.
14
3.3.3
3.3.4
The data backup of the measurement data as well as the system configuration is
recommended cyclically. Hereby all selected R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 files are written
into a compressed file in the ZIP format.
R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 therefore provides a utility function which allows to backup or a
restore the complete system configuration and measurement results. The backup /
restore dialog is opened via File Backup/Restore.
For more details about this item please refer to the chapter Backup and Restore Data
and Configuration in the R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 Online Help.
You can archive (or move) either individual files or complete tests out of these
directories. These files and tests will no longer be accessible by R&S
EMC/AMS/WMS32. Moving of important calibration or configuration files may also
prevent other tests from being opened or started. For detailed information on the
file structure of R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 refer to the appropriate section of the
R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 online help.
15
3.4
Make sure that the USB interface is activated in the BIOS settings of your
computer. The standard installation only supports up to 4 iKeys to be connected
at once. Use the EMC32 iKey Merge Tool (refer to chapter below) to add R&S
EMC32-Kxx options to a EMC32-E/-S main license key in order to reduce the
number of iKeys required to run R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32. Disable Windows
energy saving modes since the communication between a running R&S
EMC/AMS/WMS32 will be lost after re-starting the PC.
16
17
Before running a measurement with R&S EMC32 the software must be adapted to your
system, i.e. you must tell the application which measurement devices are available,
through which interfaces these devices may be addressed, how the devices are
connected with each other and how a test using this devices should be performed.
A Configuration Wizard is available in R&S EMC32 which determines the
measurement categories and the measurement instruments available in the system
through user queries. Using this information the configuration wizard creates a standard
configuration for your system. Correction tables and test templates will also be copied
into the appropriate directories. After this step R&S EMC32 is ready to run the first
demo measurement.
Before the first start of a real EUT measurement the appropriate calibration data
for the antennas/transducers and the signal paths have to be entered or calibrated
(for more information on this subject refers to the chapter system calibration in
the online help).
To run the Configuration Wizard perform the following steps:
1. Run R&S EMC32 as described in the previous chapter.
2. If the start dialog is activated you will find a symbol there to start the configuration
wizard.
18
3. You may also start the wizard via the menu entry:
Extras Wizards Configuration Wizard.
4. The following dialog will appear which contains a tab for EMI and/or EMS, depending
on the installed main applications.
5. In the first step, select the measurement category: radiated and/or conducted.
6. In the next step you select the device type which is available in your system for each
device class, and set the appropriate interface or interface address.
7. After you have completed all your inputs, you may start the configuration process by
clicking the button Finish.
8.
Figure 5-2 Dialog of the Configuration Wizard (EMI and EMS tab index)
The R&S EMC32 software is now ready for the first start of a demo
measurement. Before the first EUT measurement can be performed, a
calibration of the signal paths and the input of the antenna and transducer
calibration data may be required.
19
Before running a measurement with R&S AMS32 the software must be adapted to your
system, i.e. you must define the available measurement devices, through which
interfaces these devices may be addressed, how the devices are connected with each
other and how a test using this devices should be performed.
After the first installation of the R&S AMS32 the data base is empty. For a quick Demo
installation, the CD contains a Standard Data Configuration which have to be copied
to the corresponding directory of the actual R&S AMS32 installation:

Before the first start of a real DUT measurement the appropriate calibration data
for the cables and the signal paths have to be entered or calibrated (for more
information on this subject refer to the Quick Guide Calibration.
The R&S WMS32 software is now ready for the first start of a demo measurement.
Before the first EUT measurement can be performed, a calibration of the signal paths
and the cables may be required.

Please contact your sales representative for further information on upgrade licenses.
For upgrading the base license iKey please follow the instructions in chapter 10.1. Since
the iKey Merge Tool is required for this action you need first to install R&S
EMC/AMS/WMS32 V9 as described in the next chapter.
8.3.2
If you upgrade the software, the R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 system data and test results
will not be deleted the upgrade only replaces the program.
Nevertheless, for the safety of your data we recommend making a backup of all
test and calibration data stored in the EMC32 folder. Use the EMC32 backup /
restore utility for this purpose (refer to R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 Data Backup for
further information).
For updating R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32, perform the following steps (provided that
you have not received other instructions together with the upgrade):

Troubleshooting
Occasionally, users encounter problems during installation. Here are some
troubleshooting tips you can use that may resolve the problem. If you have any further
questions, read the Readme file or contact the Rohde & Schwarz Customer Support.
A "Hibernating" or Standby" mode of Windows may not be supported by the drivers
for the IEEE interface or for the iKey. Therefore to avoid any possible device driver
access errors, such a mode should be deactivated in the Power Control dialog of the
Windows control panel.
Before installation, shut down any running programs, including virus-checking
programs. Usually, virus-checking software has little or no impact on the installation
process; however, if you are running such software and encounter difficulties with
your R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 installation, turning off the virus-checking programs
and then re-installing often solves the problem.
If you receive a message during the installation process that a DLL of Windows is
used and therefore cannot be upgraded, quit this message with OK and the
installation process will be continued (this typically indicates that the latest service
pack is not installed). Usually this has no further influence on a successful installation
of R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32.
Delete any files in your temporary folder. (This folder is determined by the TEMP
environment variable. Usually it is located in C:\TEMP or C:\WINDOWS\TEMP.)
Run a disk scanning utility. Hard drive errors can cause problems with the installation
process. (Some Microsoft Windows systems contain a utility named ScanDisk you
can use. If you have questions about disk scanning utilities, see your system
administrator.)
Copy the R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 setup CD to your hard drive, then run SETUP.EXE
from your hard drive.
Check to make sure there was enough free disk space on your hard drive. (The
setup process should notify you if there is not enough free disk space prior to
installation.)
Always use in the Regional Options tab-index for Numbers and Currency the
Decimal symbol . instead of ,. Do not use the digit grouping symbol , (use space
character instead).
Virus scan programs with an active real-time scanning process may decrease the
performance of R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32. If possible deactivate this process or
exclude R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 files from this process.
During the installation R&S EMC/AMS/WMS32 requires full access to the Windows
registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Rohde & Schwarz.
