I have been asked to provide a risk assessment prior to the contract being
signed. In my case it is for large systems to be installed on a customer
site by an EPC (engineering procurement & construction). When I received
an example report from the EPC, it too was a fairly "*dumbed down*"
HI Brian and the group,
With respect to providing information to your competitors, which I have seen
happen to many of my clients when they furnish documentation to prospective
customers, I would have them sign an NDA so they would be liable if the
information was divulged to a
This is a timely topic for me. Who are your "customers"? We partner with
other various manufacturers, sometimes integrating other's machinery products
in with ours or selling/servicing/refurbishing and providing heavy technical
support for them as is. We sometimes ask for the manufacturers

If the customer is a contractual partner or OEM I would typically share reports
and such the contractual agreement between the two parties identify
responsibility/liability and corporate lawyers involved. I believe the user
manual is adequate for all other customers. Being
I agree. You may be able to make your published RAR somewhat more
meaningful than others, without disclosing sensitive information. This
would be a marketing advantage.

I suspect your generator has a problem, however, I would not blame a
high-impedance oscilloscope as the likely cause. First, because an oscilloscope
should not be putting any signal back out of its input port. And second,
because a signal generator should be designed to expect any
Your generator is damaged: there is probably an open-circuit after the
attenuator, maybe at the back of the output connector. Connecting the
generator to a high-impedance load cannot damage it. It is no more
harmful than operating the generator with nothing connected to its output.

Hello all,
I would like your opinion on one matter that happened in my lab not long ago.
I found out that my RF generator was sending a much lower power than it was
specified.
If on the display it was described as it was generating 0dBm, the real output
power was around -50dBm.
I also found
