Performing a Scan There are three scan types: Spectral/Spatial Scan: measures the magnetic field strength of radiated electromagnetic emissions from an object as a function of both frequency and position on the PCB. It collects a series of Spatial Scans over the entire frequency range of interest as opposed to a Spatial Scan (which gathers data at single frequency) or a Spectral Scan (which saves only the composite maximum data set over the scan area).
Page 8
Spatial Scan: measures the magnetic field of radiated electromagnetic emissions from the DUT at a single frequency as a function of position. It can be a single scan or interleaved scan. Interleaved Scan is meant to overcome the limitations of the probe polarizations. By measuring a DUT twice with a small physical shift between the two scans this blind spot can be eliminated.
Add Spectral Scan Node Click the Spectral Scan Node button to setup a Spectral only scan. Add Spatial Scan Node Click the Spatial Scan Node button to setup a Spatial only scan. Node Setting You can set and change the Scan parameters from the setting window:...

By measuring a DUT twice with a small physical shift between the two scans, blind spots can be eliminated. 4. Control Level: (For EMScannerR Only ) Select resolution level from 7.50 mm or Level 1 to 0.06 mm or Level 8.

6. Peak Hold: Also known as Max-Hold this is a very important feature as it allows you to run a Spatial Scan continually replacing the peak amplitude at each location with each successive higher measurement. This is an excellent way to find the location of an intermittent signal at a single frequency.

Probes Selection Tab Select and activate all of the probes under the DUT. You can activate the probes by either left click on individual cells or left click and drag the mouse and choose Select Cells or click Select All to activate all of the probes. Green indicates the activated probes. You can deactivate the probes either left click on already selected cells or left click and drag the mouse and choose Unselect Cells or click Select None to deactivate all of the probes.

Adjust the size and location of the Overlay. Running a Scan To run the scan once click on the single green play button or click on the double play button to run the scan continuously. Once the scan is completed, an image of the scan will be displayed. You can mouse over the graph to see coordinates, frequency and amplitude data.

If Replace Data When Running Continuously in the Spatial Scan settings is selected the EMViewer software replaces the previous scan data and keeps the last scan data. You will only see the last scan data and display the spectral graph of this data. In order to keep all scan data, uncheck Replace Data When Running Continuously in the Spatial Scan settings.
