Change existing attenuation and transducer tables in EMC32 Explorer after calibration

Question

After calibration I received updated attenuation and transducer tables. How do I enter these values into the EMC32 Explorer to continue new Tests with these values?

Answer

1. Duplicate the old existing table. This helps to keep the name and the header of the table:

2. Rename the table:

3. Open table and cut out the old, existing values:

4. Copy/paste the new table from the Excel file, starting the frequency column:

5. Copy/Paste the values for the attenuation / correction factor by selecting the unfilled column entries. Consider the numeric sign. EMC32 displays attenuation as positive! So change the sign, needed.

Usually the new table will have similar values as the existing one and the mathematical sign must be the same.

Note that tables are referenced by their names in templates and devices. So it is most convenient to keep the previous names. Because of this, at the moment you want to use the newly added tables for new Tests, you may have to delete the previous (old) tables and rename the new ones as required.

Please do always run new Tests based on the Test Template and do not re-run an old saved test. Saved tests have the same conditions as at the time of saving. All tables, limits, etc. are saved as they were valid at that time. When restarting, these old conditions would be used again.
