Hi All,

I have been writing again and this month's Technical Tidbit on my 
website, http://www.dsmith.org , discusses the need to control stray 
parasitics in tests to avoid error and wasted troubleshooting time.

Abstract: It is imperative that test variables be controlled to avoid 
testing errors when looking for design problems or during compliance 
tests. Making measurements to characterize the test setup is one way 
to accomplish this.  Using an ESD example, the use of current probes 
during testing is demonstrated as a way to monitor and control 
variables in the ESD test setup and equipment.

The link to the article is the picture of the experimental test setup 
at the bottom of the home page at http://emcesd.com .
