05 SHIELDED BAG TESTING The following test sequence describes the basic procedure as outlined in ANSI/ESD STM 11.31. The test is designed for 20x25 cm (8x10 inch) static shielding bags. 1. From the PicoScope software, click on File > Open and select the “Shielding Bag Test File” or “Shielding Bag Test File with Manual Cursors”... - Page 14 3. Open the shielding bag to be tested and insert the Capacitive Arm (D) into the bag (Figure 10). Place the bag so the top of it lines up with the mark on the Capacitive Arm (Figure 11). Figure 10. The Capacitive Arm inside the shielded bag. Figure 11.
- Page 15 5. Place the PRS-801-W 5 lbs weight onto the Discharge Arm (Figure 13). Figure 13. Complete setup for Shielded Bag Test. 6. Set the Range to HIGH on the PDS-510. 7. Turn the HIGH VOLTAGE to the ON position. 8. Use the knob to set the voltage to the level established in System Verification Test. 9.
- Page 16 Figure 14. Screenshot of the PicoScope software measuring the energy. 12. Record the calculated energy. 13. Repeat the process five more times for a total of six discharges per bag. 14. Repeat the test for five more bags. 15. ANSI/ESD S11.31 requires that the discharge energy for static shielding bags be less than 20 WARNING Turn off the High Voltage when not in use.
