The first thing to do is to make sure that the oscilloscope is on a clean power source. Make sure that it is plugged into a branch circuit different from the ESD test equipment. Next, reduce the length of the ground lead. Even if you are using the shortest ground clip available with the scope,

The LISN drawing attached is from A.Pomilio's web page at www.dsce.fee.unicamp.br/~atenor/htmlfile . L1,C1 and R1 are added for measurements below 150Khz. It isn't obvious, but an LISN filter section is expected on both lines. The unmeasured line should be terminated on the output of R3 with 50 ohm

Hello Mat, Chances are that no one is going to fax this to you due to its size. However, all is not lost ... Just visit the Safety Link and search on the term "1910", or, just look for the "OSHA" acronym in the first section of this site and you will fine one adjacent to "29 CFR 1910".
