One can't do a hearing test inside a bass drum. The ultimate measure of a device is the device. Put a [mouse, for example] on the table with cable running across the table then via shielded means out the chamber to a data receiver. Rotate a disc under the mouse and click with remotely controlled actuators to measure emissions and determine susceptibility.
Injecting RF could evaluate the efficiency with which emissions generated by a host are radiated from the peripheral.. Knowing native emissions, and also losses in coupling emissions from a host, one could select among different peripherals to assemble compliant systems.
