For calibration of ESD generator, the IEC 61000-4-2 standard says the generator (discharge gun) should be installed on a tripod or equivalent non metal low loss support but the ISO 10605 does not say anything about this. Can I hold the gun in my hand?
NoiseKenOur company’s understanding on this issue is the IEC method is the preferred way, minimizing the affects on the waveform due to user-to-user variations.
