You are absolutely right. A foot pedal is to be placed on the floor. The lab technician may maximize the emissions by finding the worst case location in a TYPICAL application. In other words, he/she can move the foot pedal under the table while resting on the floor and not on the table top.
I had a similar scenario 4 years ago, and the FCC agreed with the above.

The lab technician insists on putting the foot pedal on the table-top along with the system. I assume he's doing that because the typical setup for a desktop PC has the keyboard and mouse on the table along with the PC and monitor. I contend that the typical application has the foot pedal on the floor, and the test setup should follow the typical application. Comments? On a similar note, should the test setup for Conducted & Radiated Immunity follow the Emissions setup? -- Patrick Lawler [email protected] --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
