RFI Scanning Operation Procedures 

It  is  required  user  to  read  “API  SmartScan  V5.0  Operation  Manual  (Common  Part)”  before 
starting the RFI measurement. For detailed operation procedures,  also refer to  “API SmartScan 
V5.0 Operation Manual (Common Part)”. 

 

Setup test environment 

The hardware set up should be done first, e.g. the probe is attached to the robot; amp, attenuator, 
cables and instrument are connected. 

 

Create a project 

Go to  SmartScan software, create  a “Workspace”, name the workspace,  create an RFI project, 
and name the project.
