ERC-6

Although the „ERC-6“ is the less expensive little brother of our flagship „ERX-6“, it is more than worth to have an intensive look on it.
With the ERC-6 only properties, that are not required for full-compliance EMI measurements according to CSPR 16-1, have been reduced or omitted.
The ERC-6 is therefore a good alternative to the „high-end-devices“ for many users, such as in-house developing departments.
The Receiver can either be operated via the integrated touch-PC with 10“ monitor or by external software.
The external software enables fully automated measurements including automatic control of antenna mast and turntable.
Also the fast, FFT-based (time domain) measuring mode is already included in the ERC-6.
