Painless Extraction

Painless Extraction is a comprehensive program that automates the extraction of data from a Network Analyzer to your computer . This program will save extracted data to an S2P file and read existing S2P files for statistical analysis. Script files may be created or imported to perform quality assurance pass/fail testing.

Key features:

• Retrieves S-parameters electronically from Network Analyzers.
• We currently support Agilent 8720, 8753, 8757c, 8757d, 8757e and 8510.
• Contact us for information on adding support for additional analyzers.
• Data analysis of each S-parameter vs. Frequency
• Includes a graphical panel with plots, statistics, and a pass/fail report (all on the same page).
• Print multiple plots with limits using a self contained macro to quickly generate test reports for each part.
• Perform data analysis on the selected S-parameters using the following statistical calculations:
• Average
• Minimum
• Maximum
• P-P Flatness
• RMS
• Standard Deviation
• Slope of Best Fit Line (BFL)
• Minimum Deviation from BFL
• Maximum Deviation from BFL
• P-P Variation from BFL
• Store and retrieve S-parameters from S2P data files.
• Create, load, and save Script files to identify pass/fail points in the selected data.
• Save a Test Results file to summarize the outcome of the pass/fail script file test.
• Interact with Painless Extraction Scriptor.
• Utilize the capabilities of Painless Extraction in a scripting environment to automate the testing of multiple parts.
• Include custom dialog prompts throughout the automated script to call attention to the tester.
