Hi All,
I have been writing again and this month's Technical Tidbit even
includes a short Flash video. Problems with an ESD simulator can cause
your product to fail even if it should have passed. ESD simulator
waveforms should be checked at the beginning of every test day, this is
especially true for units where you do not know the service history,
such as a rented unit.

Using High Frequency Measurement of ESD Current to Find Problems with an
ESD Simulator
Abstract: ESD Simulators, as with all equipment, can exhibit degraded
performance. A short video is presented of sequential measurements of
the contact discharge current of an ESD simulator that shows
unacceptable variation from one discharge to the next. Possible causes
are discussed for the example presented and recommendations are made.

However there are now over 160 articles and papers on the site linked
at: http://emcesd.com . Several of the recent articles are on ESD testing.
