BaroSoft
Desktop application for Linux and Windows: drives the instrument over USB or LAN, displays the spectrum in real time, and runs pre-compliance measurements on conducted and radiated emissions — all without ever imposing its own state on the instrument: on connection, the software always reads the instrument's real configuration.
Two features built for comparison
Measurement comparison by overlay
Every measurement can be exported and reloaded later: the comparison window overlays two traces on the same graph, allowing a direct, immediate comparison between two tests — before/after a change, two different units, or two test conditions.
Pre-measurement to compensate ambient noise
Before measuring the equipment under test, a reference scan can be run (ambient / antenna with no EUT): the software then subtracts it, point by point on the same frequency grid, from the final measurement — isolating the equipment's real contribution from the site or bench noise.
What it does
Full instrument control
Frequency (synchronized start/stop and center/span), amplitude, attenuation with Auto, preamplifier, RBW/VBW, 5 traces with detector and mode (Clear/Write, Max Hold, Min Hold…), continuous or single sweep, draggable marker with Peak Search.
Real-time graph
Spectrum display with zoom/pan, autoscale, coordinate readout, memory trace for comparisons, CSV and PNG export.
EMC pre-compliance module
Conducted and radiated emissions: customizable limit and correction files, Background/Baseline/EUT scans, peak table with PASS/FAIL verdict against the loaded limits, geometry and measurement positions for radiated tests, real-time peak optimization, full HTML/PDF session report.
SCPI console
Sends arbitrary SCPI commands, logs the traffic and records it to file — useful to verify or correct commands against the instrument's real firmware.
Flexible connection
USB (VISA/USBTMC), TCP over LAN, or a Demo mode with an internal simulator — perfect for trying the software without the instrument at hand.
A pre-compliance tool
The EMC module is designed for an indicative estimate before a certified test at an accredited laboratory, not to replace it: limit files never contain pre-filled regulatory values — they must always be loaded starting from the applicable standard.
