HTOOL

Production Automation

SCPI plus integrated instruments cut cost per test station

Production scenarios require programmability, fast cycle time and multiple metrics in one pass. Many HTOOL devices come standard with SCPI command sets, directly connectable to industrial PCs or PLCs.

1Integrated spectrum and source for automated test

SA8T exposes full SCPI command set, supporting source on/off, frequency setting, marker reading and real-time spectrum data transfer, connectable to PLC, industrial PC or Python scripts to build automated RF test benches. One instrument handles both excitation (built-in source) and measurement (spectrum/S21), reducing station instrument count and cabling complexity, suitable for wireless module / RF front-end batch RF metrics testing. Fastest 0.75s full-span sweep helps compress per-unit test cycle.

2Batch excitation with a dual-channel signal generator

SL6H (13.5MHz–6.4GHz, dual-channel independent output) supports SCPI programming, designed for production batch testing. Dual channels can provide mixer LO/RF dual-path excitation, or dual-tone signals for receiver intermod testing, replacing traditional "two synchronized sources" setup. HT008B (50MHz–6.4GHz) also comes standard with USB-serial SCPI, supporting CW/swept mode, suitable as production reference signal source.

3Programmable attenuation and power control

DA001 (DC–6GHz, 0–31.5dB, based on HMC624A digital attenuator chip) supports programmable adjustment, dynamically calibrating power levels in automated test chains, avoiding consistency deviations caused by cable/fixture loss.
