Heber, I have zero experience or training in X-ray technology (aside form what's in the physics books about Coolidge tubes) but I'd think you could quantify transparency as 10 log P1/P2 where P1 is tube power needed for a given flux

Michael Barge asks: (1) Do most labs report an uncertainty measurement in the test report, on the data sheet, on a certificate of compliance? (2) How did you generate the measurement of uncertainty for emission tests? For immunity tests? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY (3) What do you tell the

In the USA, NIST has published Technical Note 1297 1994 ed. Guidelines for Evaluating and Expressing the Uncertainty of NIST measurement results. Our NVLAP accreditation requires us to estimate uncertainties in our test reports. Every Curtis-Straus EMC or Telco test report contains uncertainty

Jon, Thanks for the info on the NIST Technical Note. Looks like I need to get a copy and undertand it. It is good to know that Curtis-Straus estimates uncertainty. I am particularly interested in the EMC side of the discussion and have a couple of questions: 1. In the case of Immunity, I

Tony, Radiated immunity tests set up a situation where only the unloaded field is known. You're correct we cannot know for sure what is actually getting into the EUT. If we had to know what current was actually entering the ports we would need to monitor it
