Brent, Please contact Trek, they have a very nice product that measures and logs ESD events. It measures voltage (on contact) but it has ports for external sensors.
The product has been designed for Hewlett Packard a few years ago.

Their Model 718 is a non-contact device and has an analog output proportional to the field for logging. Best of luck, Brent DeWitt "Eric Penne" <epe...@ieee.org> To: <emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org> Sent by: cc: owner-emc-pstc@majordom Subject: Monitoring Random ESD events o.ieee.org 08-07-03 02:38 PM Please respond to "Eric Penne" I'm pretty new to the EMC scene and I need to monitor a product to see what kind of ESD events it generates on its own. The customer wants me to attach my oscope to their sensors and see what kind of ESD voltages their sensors see in daily operation. I know that I don't want to directly connect the oscope to the sensors while the machine is running. I was trying to figure out a way to "isolate" the signals on the sensors from the oscope but still get a value that is useful. I was thinking of some sort of current loop around the sensor wires. How would I correlate the current loop measurement to an ESD voltage? I'm probably not providing enough information but I'm not really sure what information will be needed.
