ELECTROSURGICAL UNIT ANALYZER
The SECULIFE ESPRO Electrosurgical Unit Analyzer is a high-accuracy True RMS RF
Voltmeter designed to be used in the routine performance verification of Electrosurgical
Generators. The SECULIFE ESPRO offers a higher degree of accuracy than previously
attainable with conventional Electrosurgical Unit Analyzer designs. The SECULIFE ESPRO has
been designed to be used in conjunction with an external RF Current Transformer (Pearson
Electronics Model 411 and 4100 recommended) and external precision load resistors (Vishay
Dale NH-250 Precision 1% tolerance resistors recommended) to measure various parameters
relating to the routine service of Electrosurgical Generators. The SECULIFE ESPRO is
microprocessor based and utilizes a combination of unique hardware and software to provide
accurate and reliable test results, even from “noisy” ESU Generator waveforms such as
“Spray”. The DFA™ Technology utilized in the SECULIFE ESPRO allows the system to
aggressively digitize the complex RF waveforms produced by Electrosurgical
Generators, analyze each individual digital data point, and provide highly accurate
measurement results.

TYPICAL TEST SETUP
Unlike all conventional ESU Analyzers with lesser degrees of accuracy, the SECULIFE ESPRO utilizes
an external Current Transformer and external precision load resistors (values to be determined by the
manufacturer’s suggested test load for the generator you are testing or servicing) for typical
Electrosurgical Generator testing. Many of the world’s leading Electrosurgical generator manufacturers
utilize this exact same technique when they test, service and calibrate their generators.
This methodology has several distinct advantages over conventional ESU Analyzers:
Improved accuracy and resolution capabilities
100% manufacturer recommended test load compatibility
Smaller and lighter weight instrumentation
The current transformer senses the RF current flowing through the external test load and produces a
proportional voltage as an input to the
SECULIFE ESPRO. This input is either a direct 1 : 1 input (for
current transformers with a ratio of 1 : 1 volts : amps) or a 0.1 : 1 input (for current transformers with a
ratio of 0.1 : 1 volts : amps). Combining the standard and low ranges of the
SECULIFE ESPRO with
the use of either a 0.1:1 or 1:1 ratio current transformer, the user has full control over the ability to get
high accuracy and high resolution readings from all types of Electrosurgical Generators.

INPUT ZERO – The Input Zero offset can be slightly different between RF donuts. This parameter
accesses an auto-zeroing function that eliminates this offset. Independent settings are saved for the
0.1:1 RF donut and 1:1 RF donut. The user can switch between the two donut types without having to re-
zero the input. The input needs to be zeroed only when a new donut is introduced.
INPUT RANGE
– The input range can be scaled to accommodate the signal that is being measured. The
input can be set to fixed ranges of 100mV Peak, 1000mV peak or Auto-Ranging. For Auto-Ranging
mode, the low range will be used for readings from 0.00 to 30.00 mV RMS. The high range will be used
for 20.0 to 700.0 mV RMS.
INPUT MODE
– There are two input modes to allow for measurement of continuous signals or pulsed
signals. In Continuous Mode, the input is updated every 100 mS. This mode should be used for all
Electrosurgical Generator waveform outputs in general use generators. A number of Electrosurgical
generator manufacturers offer generators with pulsed outputs, where there is a long duty cycle (typically
½-second or more) and the actual RF output of the generator is active for a brief period of time within the
duty cycle (typically 1/10
th
second or less). In Pulsed Mode, the input to the SECULIFE ESPRO is only
processed when a signal over 20 mV in amplitude is detected. The
SECULIFE ESPRO analyzes the
pulsed input waveform and can provide the RMS readings for either the overall input or the pulse only
(see Diagram 1, Page 15).
NOTE: When set to Pulsed
Mode, a small graphic appears in
the upper right corner of the
screen to identify to the user that
the
SECULIFE ESPRO is
looking for a pulsed RF input.

CUSTOM LOAD SETS. To simplify the selection of commonly used load configurations, 10 custom
resistor sets are available. Each resistor set can consist of any combination of the available calibrated
loads. The number of loads and load calibration is performed in the Factory Setup Screen.
A custom load set can be configured in the Setup Screen by either using to highlight the line
and to toggle the available custom set resistance,
or by using the key to access the Custom Resistor Set Menu.
This menu shows the current values of the loads as set in the Factory Setup Screen. The value of a Load
Set can be changed by using to highlight the load line and to include or remove the resistor
from the custom set. The total series resistance of the selected resistors is shown to aid in customizing
the custom resistor set.
NOTE: If individual selected load values are changed in the Factory Setup Screen, the resistance value
of the sets will change accordingly.
The Setup Screen can be exited using the key.

LOAD TABLE – Up to twelve Load Resistance Values (each with a range from 0.0 to 6,500.0
ohms) may be set in the FACTORY SETUP Configuration. These values are used in
combination with the Custom Load Sets to determine the Load Configuration Table. These
options are available if the Load Selection parameter is set to “Table”. The settings will be the
individual calibrated loads followed by the Load Sets. Since these values can be set to the
actual values of the real resistors, this allows for maximum accuracy in the wattage
calculations. By default, the following values are loaded into this table when the SECULIFE

DFA™ TECHNOLOGY
DFA™ Digital Fast Acquisition Technology is a revolutionary new method of measuring ESU generator
output power. A high-speed analog to digital converter is used to digitize the high frequency, high power
output of the ESU generator. An RF Current Transformer is used to convert the current signal to a
voltage signal, which is read by the a/d converter. By digitizing the signal a more accurate, frequency
independent measurement can be made.
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 39
SECULIFE ESPRO
COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
The communication protocol provides a means to completely configure and use the
SECULIFE ESPRO
from a PC. All of the functions available through the front panel can be performed through the
communication ports. All of the measurements made by the
SECULIFE ESPRO are accessible as well.
This provides for hands free or automated operation of the
SECULIFE ESPRO.
Communication Ports
The
SECULIFE ESPRO has two communication ports. Both ports use the same command format. The
Serial port is configured as 115,200 Baud Rate, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, and No Parity. The USB port
appears to a PC as a serial port and is configured for 748,800 Baud Rate, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, and
No Parity.
Command Syntax
The command description is broken into 3 columns; the KEYWORD, the PARAMETER FORM and
COMMENTS.
Keyword
The KEYWORD column provides the name of the command. The actual name of the command
consists of one or more keywords since SCPI commands are based on a hierarchical structure, also
known as a tree system.
In such a system, associated commands are grouped together under a common node in the hierarchy,
analogous to the way leaves at a same level are connected at a common branch. This and similar
branches are connected to fewer and thicker branches, until they meet at the root of the tree. The
closer to the root, the higher a node is considered in the hierarchy. To activate a particular command,
the full path to it must be specified.
This path is represented in the following tables by placing the highest node in the left-most position.
Further nodes are indented one position to the right, below the parent node.
The highest level node of a command is called the Keyword, followed by the Node, Subnode, and then
the value.
40 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
SECULIFE ESPRO
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 41
Not all commands require the complexity of the full command path. For example, the Status?
command doesn’t have a Node or Subnode.
Some commands allow for reading and writing data and some commands are Read Only. To indicate a
read function, a question mark (?) is placed at the end of the command path. For example, a write
command to change the load resistance to 100.5 ohms would be “CONFigure:LOAD:VALue
100.5<cr>”, where <cr> indicates a carriage-return. For example, a mArms read command would be
“READ:MArms?<cr>”, which would return a value of “xxx.x<cr><lf>” where <cr> is a carriage-return
and <lf> is a linefeed.
Lowercase letters indicate the long-form of the command (for example, CONFigure:INPut:RANGe?)
and can be omitted for simplification. Uppercase letters indicate the abbreviated, or short-form, of the
commands and must be included (for example, CONF:INP:RANG?).
All commands sent to the unit are terminated with a Carriage Return.
NOTE: Commands can be entered in either upper or lowercase or a mixture of the two, uppercase and
lowercase. Commands sent to the
SECULIFE ESPRO are not case sensitive. Upper and lower cases
are only used when documenting the commands.
Parameter Form
The PARAMETER FORM column indicates the number and order of parameters in a command and
their legal values. Parameter formats are listed in angle brackets (<>) while string parameters are
simply listed.
Square brackets ([]) are used to enclose one or more parameters that are optional.
The vertical bar (|) can be read as “or” and is used to separate alternative parameter options.
The query form of a command is generated by appending a question mark (?) to the last keyword.
However, not all commands have a query form, and some commands exist only in the query form. The
COMMENTS column is used to indicate this.
Comments
The COMMENTS column indicates any notes.
