EMC32: How does the Standard Report refer to measurements in the semi-anechoic chambers?

Question

In the General Settings of the EMI Auto Test you have to select "Open-Area-Test-Site" when performing a radiated emission test. There are no other types of measurement chambers available to select. Later, when my report is generated it includes this text: "Open-Area-Test-Site".

My measurements were performed in a 'Semi-anechoic chamber". Until now I did not find a way to change this. So, is there a way to change this?
Currently the only option seems to be to manually change this item every time after a measurement has been done. I cannot leave out the section 'Test templates" in the report as it contains other information which needs to be included into the measurement report.

Answer

"Open-Area-Test-Site" refers to the standard: The limit line is defined for a open-area measurement test setup In fact, most measurements are then done in SAC or FAR, but these details belong in the Test Information (where also operator name and test conditions etc. are located): e.g.: SAC with 3 m measuring distance.

EUT Information files are saved to the system folder EuT Information.

The EUT Information file allows to use the same file for different tests without having to re-enter the same specific information for several new tests.

EUT Information files are edited with a dedicated editor and linked to a Test when creating it. A dedicated tab is available in the dialogs for creating new tests.

The file will be copied to the Test and may be included in the test report.

To make it even more clear, we will also add a postfix "(SAC/FAR)" to the string OATS.
