EMProbe

Accurate and Repeatable High-Resolution EMC and EMI diagnostic with a single probe, Robotic Arm on your lab-bench

Why EMProbe ?

EMProbe

Using Handheld probes to identify and resolve EMC/EMI issue testing has never been this accurate.
3D Precision Technology used to assist high density board designers to use off the shelf hand-held probes and/or Y.I.C. Technologies probes and visualise the root causes of potential EMC and EMI problems during pre and post EMC compliance testing.

EMProbe delivers repeatable and reliable results that pinpoint the cause of a design failure. As a result, the user can personally test the design without having to rely on another department, test engineer, or time-consuming off-site testing. After diagnosing even an intermittent problem, the engineer can implement a design change and retest. The results provide concrete verification of the effectiveness (or not) of the design change.

The EMProbe solution consists of a computer controlled Robotic Arm, Near Field probe and a customer-supplied spectrum analyzer, all controlled by the EMViewer Software.
