Hello group, I need to know if anyone knows where to get conducted emissions test software to work with an HP 8566B spectrum analyzer. I currently have the old HP 85869PC software which is the PC equivalent of what used to run on those old HP computers with the green display. It gets the job don

Michael/Gert When I worked as a design engineer for an ITE integrator, many manufacturers of subassemblies disagreed that their (sub)system had to be EMC compliant in all situations. Most had an assumption of what they considered "reasonable" shielding effectiveness and immunity control that the

It is perfectly legal (in Europe) to skip those tests that are not relevant to a device, as long as you can support your decision. After all, your signing a DoC, saying that you accept liability for it’s conformance. How you came to this is irrelevant, as long as you can technically prove (or

Tim, I’ll provide a personal opinion. It may not be to the letter of the standard and does not reflect what the customers that buy equipment from the company I work for expect. You may notice some cynicism as well. Customers and standards are not always reasonable or practical. I see this a

Hello Everyone, We in the medical laboratory industry had a January 2009 deadline for compliance with the updated EN61326-1 standard, and parts thereof. What I'm trying to find out though, is if there are other product categories in other industries that also had/have a deadline for compliance t

This is the unfortunate case of ideal world vs.. real world. A manufacturer of a subassembly will not design for the EMC behavior of other components in the target system unless he is really aware and involved in the system integration or forced to do so by other means. A manufacturer of a ca
