TS8997 waveform files on the vector generator not found

Question

We are doing DFS measurements according to EN 301 893, but the API Macro comes with a "waveform files on the vector generator not found" message.

How can I solve this?

Answer

Most likely you get this message , because the needed waveforms have not been imported into SMBV100A.

Basically the missing waveforms are located in the EMC32 "Data" folder with the file name "TS8997waveforms.zip".

With some earler versions of EMC32 there was an issue with this waveform zip-file. In this rare case the file "TS8997waveform.zip" has a file size of 0 kB.

Example:

TS8997 waveform files on the vector generator not found

Because of this you will find attached the correct one.

In the rare case your TS8997waveforms.zip has also 0 kB, please please copy the attached zip-file the Data-folder where TS8997waveform.zip is located (replace the existing file).

After this, please open EMC32 Device List and open the "TS8997 Vector Generator" properties to upload the TS8997 waveform files.

After this your test should run without any problems.
