In a past life I used EMCWare from AR Amps, it was very new back then but it's free and has a bunch of drivers bundled with it.
Did I mention it's Free EMC Software? Rich > On Aug 1, 2017, at 2:40 PM, Paasche, Dieter > <dieter.paas...@christiedigital.com> wrote: > > Hi > > I am using TILE for radiated emissions.
