Tag Tester
The RAIN Xplorer Lab Tag Tester is a unique RFID test product developed for convenient tag frequency sensitivity, communication range, and backscatter measurements. The RFID tester is designed for open area tests and measurements in an RF-controlled environment using portable or fixed RF test chambers. The system is supplied with software and a reference tag for self-calibration. The test equipment is controlled using a graphical user interface (GUI) with an additional application programming interface (API) for the development of user-defined test sequences within standard development environments.
Key Features:
- Tag Performance tests
- High precision RFID tester
- RAIN RFID frequency range from 800 MHz to 1 GHz
- Fast and easy to use
- Supporting EPCglobal, ISO/IEC, IATA
- Self-calibration
From Lab Innovation
to Real-World Performance
TAG Performance
The RAIN Xplorer Lab Tag Tester delivers industry-leading performance by precisely evaluating every individual tag within a high-density population—whether isolated or stacked—in real-world retail environments according to global TIPP standards.
Reader Performance
The RAIN Xplorer Lab Reader Tester serves as a high-precision reader tester by utilizing a fully configurable tag emulator to accurately measure transmit power, receiver sensitivity, and timing tolerance in strict accordance with industry-standard performance specifications.
Sniffer and Conformance
The RAIN Xplorer Lab Reader Tester serves as a powerful diagnostic and compliance tool by combining a configurable Tag Emulator for precise reader sensitivity testing with a real-time Sniffer that captures, decodes, and logs the entire communication stream between readers and tags.
NFC Xplorer
The CISC NFC Xplorer is a compact, high-quality test system, developed for NFC and HF device measurements including performance and conformance tests. The Hardware unit provides two high-ohm input ports and one 50-ohm output port, which makes the NFC Xplorer a device supporting measurements according ISO with full compensation of DUT influence. The device is capable of communicating with HF RFID cards and NFC devices, and an analyzer of the air interface communication. Signal recording is done in real-time with no limitation of the recording time.
Key Features:
- Tag Performance tests
- High precision RFID tester
- RAIN RFID frequency range from 800 MHz to 1 GHz
- Fast and easy to use
- Supporting EPCglobal, ISO/IEC, IATA
- Self-calibration
From Tag Testing to Protocol Analysis
NFC tag testing
NFC Xplorer covers the key elements of tag testing. This includes the measurement of the minimum H-field over frequency resulting in the active or loaded resonance frequency. Furthermore, it provides a quick and effective method of measuring the load modulation strength in dependence of the H-field.
Reader tester | Communication analysis
The NFC Xplorer serves as a powerful diagnostic and compliance tool with a Sniffer that captures and decodes the entire communication stream between readers and tags.
RAIN RFID Measurement Chambers
All-in-one Solution for RFID Measurement and Tests Requiring
an Anechoic Environment
Tag and Reader Testing
Including ETSI EN 302 208 for CE Marking
and TIPP / ARC Compliance
The mobile CISC RF Test Chamber has been developed for testing RAIN RFID devices for performance and conformance including ETSI and TIPP / ARC. The high-quality test chamber serves as an anechoic test environment. Through its shielding it excludes interference from outside and ensures highest accuracy together with its premium RF absorbers on the insides of the chamber. It is optimized for the frequency band of 700 MHz – 5 GHz and is equipped with wheels to be mobile and flexible in office buildings. The CISC RF Test Chamber can be equipped with a variety of test tools of the CISC RAIN Xplorer series.
