Hi Everyone, I just posted my monthly Technical Tidbit on EMI induced measurement error.
Technical Tidbit - October 2011 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Effects on Measurement Equipment (ESD Effects on Oscilloscopes) This month's Technical Tidbit describes how EMI can result in error creeping into your lab measurements. Abstract: When debugging designs or making electrical measurements of noise, especially ESD, we often assume the only equipment in the room that works perfectly is our measurement equipment. This assumption can be wrong and when it is, the bad data that results can add significantly to the time needed to get to the cause of a design problem. Examples of ESD interference to oscilloscopes are described and one innovative method of minimizing EMI induced error is shown.

What a ride it has been, more to come. I really enjoy performing experiments and writing them up. Doug -- ------------------------------------------------------- ___ _ Doug Smith \ / ) P.O.
