We can all agree that blowing up your equipment is bad. To avoid that, here are 6 best practices in under 60 seconds:
1 - Use grounded wrist straps whenever you’re handling equipment and boards
2 - Use grounded mats on your workspace and NOT high resistance and insulated materials
3 - Keep potentially charged materials at least a foot away from your exposed assemblies to avoid inductive charging
4 - Discharge you cables before connecting them. First, make sure your device is not
powered on. Second, connect your cable to your device. Third, attach a 50 ohm shunt or short to the open end, finally, remove the shunt and attach your device to your gear
5 - Use board standoffs on your ESD mats as needed
6 - Never trust pink packing. Don’t use it. Don’t.
7 - Cap your unused equipment inputs to avoid accidental ESD damage.
And there you have it! 6 ways to avoid blowing up your equipment in under 60 seconds. So you don’t forget any of those, download the free checklist linked above.

A little tip I found when younger- high concentration (99+) isopropanol is conductive enough to dissipate static buildup while being generally electronics safe, is cheaper and leaves little to no residue unlike other antistatic sprays

Some numbers to back that up- www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.shell.com/business-customers/chemicals/our-products/solvents-chemical/alcohols/_jcr_content/par/tabbedcontent/tab/textimage.stream/1460023044637/b0b7ef356c65f2fdd262453bd3eb009011c1bfd0/ipa-s1111-eu.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj5ydDFgYfoAhXTolwKHVZGCBcQFjAKegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw20xYE2d06X3DxI9_nGQE9Y&cshid=1583537942237 And various other sources give it a conductivity of 6microsiemens/m -and that's for 99.8% purity, more water is gonna mean higher conductivity. That works to a resistivity of 1.7e5 ohmmeters or about 1.7e9ohms/sq for a conservative 0.1mm film - way higher than the threshold of static dissipation of 1e12ohms/sq. It's even better than a lot of surface coatings designed for the purpose- hovering at around 1e10 ohms/sq. Found it out trying to find a solution in high school for one of those "industry outreach to inspire the kids" thingamajigs, where they give you problems and maybe some industry experience and whatnot, ours was static in a small PCB fab. I was actually amazed by how well it worked- our contact had brought one of those electric field meters, and it just dropped immediately to zero on applying the alcohol

We did some digging into this and tested IPA with a Teflon sheet: Before applying IPA to Teflon sheet: - Resistance - 7E12 ohms. - Charging with a cotton wipe - 6,000 volts/inch static field After wiping surface with IPA and waiting two minutes: - Resistance - 6E12 ohms. - Charging with a cotton wipe - 7,000 volts/inch static field Essentially, the IPA is dissipative until it dries, but then it's basically the same as before. It's not a suitable alternative to an antistatic mat.

@@KeysightLabs nice, wasn't expecting a reply :D. I did mean it as only a temporary measure while it was wet- dissipating the static on an enclosure/pcb before installing and sealing up. Or some really sensitive equipment that you wanted to protect from static discharge during installation, but were worried about the effects of a traditional permanent antistatic film/coating on the long term reliability of. Or even the reverse- disassembling a device and bringing its potentially rather insulating enclosure to ground potential temporarily while you remove the internals and place them on a proper antistatic mat- to avoid any damage from contact with charged parts of the enclosure/ground. Not at all a replacement to good anti-static practices, but I can certainly see some, perhaps niche situations where it could come in handy :D- in the transition period between to locations where it's relatively safe

@@KeysightLabs something like a plastic enclosure- it can be a pain to deal with, because it's non conductivity makes it very hard to bring the entirety of it safely to ground- only the part touching the mat is going to ground itself, the rest is going to be able to hold a potential, by temporarily increasing the surface conductivity you should be able to bring it to ground long enough to do what needs doing and get out, before it has a chance to rebuild significant static, so to speak. A production environment would probably end up using something like humidity control or air ion generators to neutralise that charge, but that could be prohibitive if your operation is small, with the caveat that you have to be quick, although if you yourself are grounded, and it's sitting on a good mat, you would remove most major sources of charging the housing.
In my school lab we have two types of scopes: some Rigol and some Keysight. It's such a pleasure for me to use the Keysight scope, it is so much more convenient, FFT algorithm is very efficient, the scope layout and the navigation menu are so well designed also! My dream is to have one of those later!
I'm late to the party, but oh well. I almost died because of an ESD strap. Back in the old days, I was dissecting an industrial system that went wrong. It was on an anti-static mat, waiting for me. I got in front of it, put on the strap on my left wrist (habit), and instinctively bent over to yank out the 220V plug. The original cord had been in some sort of accident, and the 220V mains line wasn't protected, and I had the good idea of yanking it out at that spot, clenching it as hard as I could. 220V through the right hand, through my heart, and out through the anti-static strap. The lab 30mA differential trip switch hadn't been tested in months, and failed, so I had to "wait" until the floor trip switch kicked in, and I don't know how long that took. I woke up in hospital, feeling extremely weak, but alive. Everything could have been avoided if doing really simple things; not sitting down when I removed the cord. Checking the cord on arrival. Not actually plugging in the thing in the first place (the RTC could survive a few weeks without power). To this day, I really hate working with anything above 5V, even 12V makes me a little nervous. 220V? Forget it. Oh, and what am I working on now? Electric vehicle chargers. Yup.
I can't wait tomorrow!

Luckily I haven't zapped too many boards in my career, but my boss likes to come over to see what I'm working on and inevitably he points at the board and there's a loud snap sound as an arc of electrostatic energy discharges into my board... and I say "Ruh Roh" :-P ... Anyway, enjoy the videos, very Educational as always.
So what's your take on the use of "ground eliminators" on oscilloscopes with grounded power supply cords? A number of people in our department seem to think it's a good idea to isolate the ground pin on a scope from the earth ground if they're testing other AC-powered equipment (to avoid ground-loops?).
@KeysightLabs

Ground loops are bad for noise levels, but it would be better to get everything on the same, stable ground. If you're using a ground eliminator, it's hard to say how accurate your measurements actually are - probably won't hold up if you need metrology-grade measurements or traceability?

How is the oscilloscope waveform update rate compares to the sample rate? I watched one of The 2-Minute Guru about the subject and I feel I need more info. I will be thankful if you provide some insight into the waveform update rate and how it affects my measurements. Thanks
@KeysightLabs
4 жыл бұрын
Good question! I'd defer you back to the 2-Minute Guru episode on it, but basically it's this: Waveform update rate is how many times the scope can acquire a waveform in a period of time (usually measured in wfms/sec) Sample rate is how far apart each individual ADC sample is on a single waveform
@malgailany
4 жыл бұрын
@@KeysightLabs Does that mean if my scope has a high sample rate and low wfms/sec, I might lose some of the input events even if the sample rate is more than twice the input signal frequency (Nyquist)? It will be great if you show some examples in one of your future videos. Also, does it imply that the waveform update rate is related to how much ram exists and how fast the CPU can plot data on the LCD? Thanks for the reply.

ESD is often ignored and poorly understood. For those hobbyist that have a basement lab, carpet on the floor, while you keep the HVAC heat on full blast during the winter, because the heat rises upstairs, while you are wearing that crazy polyester sweater grandma gave you for Christmas, is an atomic ESD blast ready to nuke your circuit board and your test gear. I guess it's one way to keep the economy going...
