TILE! (Total Integrated Lab Environment) Software is an integrated test environment for creating and performing Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Tests. TILE!’s unique visual interface offers the necessary environment to create test profiles, eliminating the need for additional programming. Test Profiles are created in a Microsoft Windows environment with drag and drop simplicity.

TILE! is hardware independent with driver support for most EMC instrumentation available today, with options to add drivers for new instruments in the future.

TILE! is designed to perform EMC measurements in any test environment, from an OATS, semi- or fully anechoic chambers, reverberation chambers, GTEMs or any suitable test enclosure.

An EMC test is performed by a series of steps executed in a specific sequence. TILE! represents each step in the test sequence as an icon on a screen, with the test sequence resembling a flowchart. In TILE!, icons are called “actions” and are grouped in six categories: Emissions, Immunity, Information, Utility, GTEM, and Miscellaneous. Right-clicking on an icon opens a dialog box for customizing the settings of that particular action.

For example, the icon for Measure Range opens a dialog box with tabs for Frequency, Amplitude, Data, etc. Values related to the test can then be specified for the settings within each tab. Each of these steps have been created in TILE! and a test sequence can be generated by linking necessary steps for testing to a specific test regulation or to a user test specification. These test sequences can be stored as ready-to-use tests or “test profiles”.
