several years ago, there was a small, hand-held esd device advertised in some of the major tech trade magazines. it was self contained, about the size of a mini-maglite flashlite, that generated a positive pulse upon clicking the trigger with a corresponding negative pulse on release. it was available with several different discharge networks & voltage capabilities and also had a loop probe attachment to give a non-contact h-field effect for testing areas for suceptibility. i saw these people exhibit at a trade show somewhere in california in the early '90s. i believe they were located in canada and that either the device or the company name was something like Pico-Q.
i can't locate ANYTHING on either the firm or the product. does anyone else remember what i'm talking about or have any info at all on this? any help would be appreciated. (it's possilble that they are no longer around. if you know this to be truwe, please let me know.) kind regards, Edward Cullen [email protected] end [email protected] ENCAD, Inc Engineering Dept. 6059 Cornerstone Court West San Diego, CA 92121 voice mail: (619)678-5345
