Download the newest version of HomSoft either for STHT Autotuner or STH Analyzer. Although Handbook and HOMER simulation are part of the installations, you can download them independently for studying purposes.
A program for monitoring and controlling BPM devices. It displays the incident, reflected and absorbed powers as time dependence graphs. The magnitude of the reflection coefficient is also displayed in a separate graph. The history of the graphs can be extended to up to 24 hours. All data on graphs can be easily exported to Excel for analysis.
Software for monitoring and controlling intelligent three-stub tuners. Using this software, one can control each stub position in an STIT remotely from a PC, as well as remotely monitor STIT system parameters, including the status of each motor and ambient temperature. One can also load scenario files that move all three stub positions according to a pre-determined scenario, which is useful, for example, for modeling time-varying loads.
Industrial microwaves tutorial and simulation program: Understand and simulate what is going on in the waveguide connecting a magnetron and a load, why the incident wave can carry power higher than the magnetron can deliver, how to properly measure powers in the system, and what are measurement uncertainty limits caused by nonidealities of directional couplers sensing waves in the guide.

BPM Monitor Installation Instructions
Click the link to the software you wish to install (e.g. BPM_MonitorV2016.zip).
Download the file and save it to disk.
Find the downloaded file in your folders and unpack it.
Locate Setup.exe program in the unpacked files.
Run Setup.exe program, e.g. by double-clicking its icon.
After installing, connect the BPM to your PC. You will need:
24V DC power supply.
Extension cable, branching the DC power supply inputs VDC and GND to the power supply and TX, RX, GND pins to standard D9 RS232 connector. You have to make this extension yourself.
Standard RS232 cable (a null modem, i.e. a type with crossed RX/TX leads).
RS232-to-USB adapter. In case of problems, we recommend the Brainboxes US-101 (supplied worldwide e.g. by Farnell).
On the PC, run the BPM_Monitor.exe shortcut found on the PC desktop. In the program, you will be asked to choose an appropriate COM Port. Then the measurement should start.
STIT Tools Installation Instructions
Click the link to the software you wish to install (e.g. STIT_InstCD_V1044.zip).
Download the file and save it to disk.
Find the downloaded file in your folders and unpack it.
Locate Setup.exe program in the STIT_Tools folder.
Run Setup.exe program, e.g. by double-clicking its icon.
After installing, connect the STIT to your PC. You will need:
24V DC power supply.
Standard RS232 cable (a null modem, i.e. a type with crossed RX/TX leads).
RS232-to-USB adapter. In case of problems, we recommend the Brainboxes US-101 (supplied worldwide e.g. by Farnell).
On the PC, run the STIT-Tools.exe shortcut found on the PC desktop. In the program, you will be asked to choose an appropriate COM Port. You should now see a display of the stub positions and be able to control them by clicking on the respective stubs.
