This diagram shows the basic layout of a honeycomb mesh panel, used to provide both shielding and cooling air flow. Openings in a plastic front panel, even though they appear to be closed by a knob for example, provide a conduit for the discharge. The ESD section explains how to route the discharge to ground, and also how to tackle secondary problems which occur when two equipments are interconnected. The EMC Assistant consists of 113 screens of information, containing simple diagrams with explanatory text. The screens can be viewed in sequence, as a course, or can be used separately as a reference.
Basic theory is mixed with practical examples of emc practice wherever possible.
A Contents facility allows any screen to be accessed, whilst a Search facility uses key words attached to each screen page to find a particular topic. A description of each page found is provided, to help the user decide if the required information has been found. The EMC Assistant uses simple captions to explain a particular topic. Several captions are often provided per page, explaining several diagrams. Delayed appearance of captions or diagrams is used sometimes, to emphasise some feature or other.
