Hard to figure out what he is trying to prove. Finally on the antistatic mat issue, his point was that it doesn't affect measurements made with circuits lying on the mat. I guess I was thinking that he would show us how the mat is antistatic, as he did with the bags.
Greetings, all. Dave Jones, who runs the EEVblog, has a few videos relating to anti-static bags and mats. The first one that talks about anti-static bags is worth watching. It shows the difference between the common pink anti-static bags and the silvery static shielding bags. Those pink bags and the related "anti-static" chip carriers don't do as much to protect your components as you might think. http://www.eevblog.com/2012/02/25/eevblog-247-anti-static-bag-myth-revisted/ http://www.eevblog.com/2012/03/01/eevblog-250-anti-static-mat-myth/ http://www.eevblog.com/2014/03/02/eevblog-585-lab-bench-esd-matting-upgrade-tagarno-hd-microscope/ The first part of the third video (mainly starting around 2.5 minutes in) talks about ESD matting that Dave was putting down on his lab benches. -- Cheers!
