Re: [PSES] EN 61326-1:2006 Immunity Testing with Multiple Power Cords

I'm assuming the goal of your customer is to save a few bucks on the testing. This is where you turn on the Used Car Salesmen mode (no offence) and offer them a onetime deal they cannot resist to test all AC Mains ports separately as it should be done. They feel like they got a good deal and you

Re: [PSES] Mobile Compliance

Doug, I just got a new smart phone last week which I’m still learning how to use. Not to promote any specific brand but this is my first Android phone. I can plug it into my computer via USB and use it like a Flash Drive. Now, if my phone is stolen, there is a simple website I can go to where i

Re: [PSES] Mobile Compliance

All,Some great points in the responses so far. I was a little surprised on how security / theft become a focus. When I mentioned that in my original email, my thinking was not so much about hacking accounts and the like, it was more about ‎having a device with removable SD card stolen or lost. Devi

Re: [PSES] CEC will establish fines for energy efficiency violoations

The U.S. Department of Energy has definitely not abandoned EPS efficiency requirements. The final rule was published on February 10 and comes into effect in two years. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-02-10/pdf/2014-02560.pdf It is possible that the new DoE levels will be adopted as EnergySt

[PSES] Gold medal for product safety?

Re: [PSES] CEC will establish fines for energy efficiency violoations

Re: [PSES] Mobile Compliance

Hi Doug, I have no issues yet with the various cloud services, but I do maintain backup folders on a RAID drive. By avoiding keeping working files on my various mobile devices (plus the easy to use 'remote wipe" feature) if a device becomes lost or stolen, there's really little harm done. For

Re: [PSES] Mobile Compliance

I like DropBox for static files for static documents, PDF standards and processes, receipts etc. Google Drive, with editable spreadsheets, are quite usable from tablet/smartphone… If you go easy on vB and stick with basic formula. Evernote is fantastic for sync. Their sister app Skitch is great

Re: [PSES] Mobile Compliance

Just as you say Doug, safety is a major concern. As long as smartphones and tablets are primarily designed as –look what we can fit into this small box-toys, and professional use is not seriously considered, I suggest anyone should refrain from storing any company confidential information
