To those wondering what the background and conclusion to that question was:
Background: Our testing was performed in a newly minted chamber so proper EMC installation of our product was challenging. Effect: Ingress of high levels of external bb noise. Result: Proper install eliminated the external noise and now the system passed. Concern: While I accept that proper installation and operation of our system is our responsibility, I had expected that the tester would point to the excessive ambient and indicate that our data may not be valid. An inexperienced customer would have left thinking that their product had failed. Am I wrong? Thanks!
