Daniel - it's always nice when you can have a bit of fun and laughter when you're learning something...and it's nice to see a large T&E company can do the same! Keep the new video series coming. Merry Xmas to all at HP, oops, Agilent, oops Keysight! ;-)
Kudos Keysieght. I cant belive i subscribed to a corporate channel.Your vedios are well explained and fun.I think editors and precenters really loving the job.
Okay I have no idea why havent I subbed to this channel in the first video I see I heard the funniest joke on the whole day. "It would be just a static image... and then the conversation went downhill" Hahaha. Amazing work! Great balance of education and humor! I'll definitely buy a keysight scope as my first one!
Definitely some good things to keep in mind in this video. I'm surprised that anyone who gets in to electronics would think those wireless wrist straps would do anything at all to protect against static buildup. The pink foam stuff and the pink bags used to ship some components are static disipative. Dave Jones showed how parts inside a pink plastic bag can still be zapped by static electricity. You are better off using the black conductive foam and those shiny silvery type of bags. The silvery bags are anti-static and will protect the parts inside.
That title just SCREAMS ElectroBOOM! Thank him for bringing me to this channel! (Awesome videos by the way. I even subscribed to Him and this channel!)
Guess I'm just lucky that I can't, and won't for the foreseeable future, be able to afford anything in the keysight line up. Crt Tek's goin strong, even if they're not fast enough.
couple years back, I was fresh from school and basically had no idea about ESD effects. At the time our company was located in a nice building "loft/open space" style with a glass square in the center of the floor, and we all had our desks around it, on the wooden floor. I had a 2k€+ prototype on my desk I received the week before, and was trying to debug a component failing during bring-up. The CEO comes check on me and the bringup. At some point during my explanation he goes "is that this component burning down?" and points directly at the CPU. We head a loud "TAK" and the board turned off for good, never to power on again. I wasn't sure about the issue I was initially chasing down, but there was absolutely no doubt about this one! Since then we put ESD-safe flooring everywhere there can be electronic components.
5th way wait to new years eve and put as many fireworks on it as you can find. seriously these tips can be gold. i havent blown any piece of gear yet and took none of these precautious ever. but it can happen easily the more sensitive the equipement the easier. though you guys should know that input protection is crucial hence having build in some for sure.
2:24 wait, what!? "I don't want to die and more importantly, actually I don't want to blow up any equipment" Daniel seems like you have your safety proity in order. The Nightmare Before Christmas becomes. ESD before Christmas. hahaha!!
Notably, probing a 12V 1200W earth-grounded supply backwards by accident will light your scope lead on fire, but actually your scope will be fine. As long as you put out the fire, anyway.
@Keysight Labs cool. I'm starting a channel I think. Hurricane Fiona wrecked my home and I'm just getting thr work done now. I've slept in my workshop for over 5 months and the wife sleeps on the sofa with the cats. We have no where to fit a bed. The end is in sight though. I had to give my 3d printers and some other gear away. I'm still a noob and I've been soldering a different circuit every day. Haha I'm building a giant robot arm for thr local non-profit makerspace that can be controlled with a ps5 controller in hopes of getting some kids in to learn. Management doesn't seem to gaf.
@Keysight Labs I have a software engineering degree I never used and went into policing for 2 decades then was forced into retirement. I remembered how much I loved this stuff and basically live it and do charity work. I would do smd practice boards alot so I wouldn't be one of the belly achers lol. I majored in big data algorithms before they took over our lives hahaha
Hey Daniel, question, is it safe to “discharge” myself to to instrument metal case or the nut of the front panel connector on a VNA when not having the ESD strap?
The case is typically grounded and an ok option. The nut on the connector works too, but you have to be super careful that you don't hit the center conductor on the input.
Not ESD related, but what always bothers me is students connecting signals with a DC bias on into an RF spectrum analyzer. The pink poly stuff is evil, prohibited from a lot of cleanrooms because of silicones. Metalized film bags and a ESD ionizer
Very nice, but you forgot to say, that it is a good idea to connect a 1M or higher value resistor between you and ground. Becaus if you touch the "hot" conductor from the mains and are groundet you would get a massive shock and maybe die. The 1M resistor would limit the current in that case to a safe level and you would only get a small shock.
I got ESD several discharges, i could feel, into a project i was working on. Everytime it happend I got scared but device didn't got damaged. It was An software defined radio with FPGA and stuff.
Wow! I had no idea pink foam was that useless! I always just sort of trusted it because it was supposedly made for that application. Very good info here! Not sure if I missed it, but was it also mentioned here that ESD damage can be cumulative? Just because a poor practice doesn't wreck something the first, second, or third time, doesn't mean that damage isn't adding up.
Yes, static discharge can weaken or damage semiconductor junctions without actually causing immediate failures in many cases. Spike damage can manifest itself as failures later on for no obvious cause or reason. For example I've experienced controller board failures a week or more after a known mains voltage spike incident (took out the cheapo surge protector and caused the RCD to trip). A week or two later I had a controller board (not protected by the surge arrester) fail and the only reason I could put it down to was the big spike a week or two earlier. This is why the problem is so insidious: people think they get away with ignoring ESD issues because they don't have immediate or obvious failures, and the failures they *do* have are put down to "unknown causes".
Just bought a DSOX-1204G. Taking it out of the bag it was wrapped in (low density polyethylene) it produced a sizable static charge and it generated a large arc from my thumb directly to the channel 4 input. Physician heal thyself! I appreciate all the the efforts you guys go to to educate users, but I find it a little odd that you lecture us on static precautions then pack your scopes in that sort of plastic.
I once went to collect a bunch of cheap computer parts that had odd faults (motherboards that would start up but not recognise disks, etc.) from someone and I brought some antistatic bags with me, and the guy looked at me like I was crazy. He said he'd been building computers for years and never needed them as he'd never zapped anything. Apparently it never occurred to him that damage from static electricity doesn't necessarily kill a device outright, it can also cause partial and intermittent failures depending on what gets zapped. Seems he'd been killing computer parts for years and just never realised...
What is the model of the ESD device you using in this episode ?My experience with ESD is bad , I was attempt to fix an EPSON printer & touch the main board with my bare hand & that kill the chip I touched making the printer totally useless .
Mr. Demille, I'm ready for my closeup 🎥 Excellent INFOtainment. I actually missed the in-laws opening their presents 🎅 but it was worth it 🤓 Thank You!! p.s. ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY insert subliminal cuts.... and get away with it 😁 Busted!😎
Once upon a time i killed a multimeter measuring a high voltage output by accident (6000v 100 watt) and magic smoke appeared proper EEVBlog style. Also, never hold a spud gun with a 100KV spark ignitor between your legs to look if the spark gap innside is too big, because it really REALLY hurts in the sack 😅🤣 My poor mans way of dissapating eventual charges and check for high voltage is little finger on ground and showing the board my middle one :)
2 questions, 1) if i have left the room, then return later with a significant static charge. Then how many seconds of time after putting back on my ESD wrist strap will it then be safe and be fully discharged!!?? This is a very common scenario. But was not covered in the video. 2) If recently washed my hand will that also help to discharge me?? Assuming that the tap is metal and it has a real ground point. Sometime it is hard to be sure about that fact. However in other facilities a green and yellow earth wire is very clearly visibly attached to the nearby pipework which can be traced back to the sink. I am of course thinking about mobile or off site scenarios where you might not have the ability or luxuries to control the situation when compared to the lab / workshop. This is important to me!! Thank you keysight people!!!
Oh.... BTW how many Mohms resistance to ground for 1) the strap and does that make a significant different to the discharge time?? Because i like to plug my strap into a spare stud connection on my mat, this then means an additional path to travel with extra resistance incurred of the mat. Perhaps with one of the 2 sides being more conductive than the other one. Also that might not be proper use however the cables they give you with these esd straps are far too short to actually reach all the way back underneath my desk to the wall sockets. To the mat is the only place it can reach to be attached. Dear me i feel that getting clear and correct advice for this subject is more complicated than it really aught to be.
It seems to discharge almost instantly, and for practical purposes you don't have to wait once being grounded, you discharge very quickly. For #2, probably yes? But you'd potentially build up charge again right away as you walk back or move again. I'd definitely want to use a grounded wrist strap.
I wonder how they abused that poor scope to achieve the arcs effect…. Question tho, does it still work? Seems like the arc was jumping from the grounded ring of the probe to the outer shell of the BNC connector? Doesn’t look like any arc jumped to the signal input
@@KeysightLabs Last time I accidentally discharged to my analog scope (sorry I’m too poor to get a key sight one) and it was fine, I suppose I got lucky and discharged to the outer ring of the connector and luckily it was grounded, it was painful for me tho
You have all the static charges required to blow you up and land in Hollywood ! BUT man that oscilloscope is literally killing me. I need one to put my statically charged probes in to it.
What’s about measuring something and your connection with the ground clamp isn’t really ground or connect diffrent channels to diffrent Potentials with the ground clamp. I think that’s the way that most beginners blow up their osci. Or is your test gear save against this? The clamp isn‘t ground and the clamps of different channels aren’t connected to each other?
"blablabla shunt blabla" How about some grounding adapters that have a little button you press to discharge it before coupling it on? Or, better yet, add a "safe mode" to the oscilloscope inputs, so dangerous stuff when plugged in will go to a waiting lobby where it can be screened for safety, then manually (or automagically), connect to the sensitive internals... KL, did you think of that? Please tell me you didn't.
2 thing, not really ESD how I have killed test kit, BNCs have 2 sizes that look the same 75 and 50ohms can not remember which has a larger centre pin, so you then need new BNCs sockets, on your kit, so when you have both around have them all clearly marked. then another one is odd, flowing kit i.e. isolated PSU so gound as not the same. this one I saw most on RS232 and screen was no grounded right and we had around 200v between the 2 units (1 was logging the output of the other) everything looks OK but after a few hours you get a fire. (this after about 20 or 30 fire over about a year, we found the problem)
Well, it only takes once. But, the big thing to emphasize is that it can partially damage it and only show up later. You could also try to find an ESD tool like we used and actually show them how charged up they are.
I believe that appliances for domestic, industrial or lab use that do not resist static electricity should not be allowed in the consumer market without being marked as electrostatically sensitive equipment or apliance! This should be marked on the device not in the user manual :). if the inside boards of a machine are sensitive to static electricity they should put markings with static sensitive boards inside! near the screw holes :P
Constructive criticism incoming. You gotta work on the video editing and cheesy sound effect and music dog. The content is great but a lot of the sound choices are A: Cringy (like the copyfree music and crickets) and B: Takes you out of the video. Some things like the "One cannot simply" 2 frame meme is great and the running around time lapse music is too, and the skits are also pretty funny and still engaging with the content. Comedically timed zoom ins are also 👌🏽 But like, a lot of it is really just asinine 2010's windows movie maker level stuff that just comes off as distracting and often cringy enough to even stop watching what is otherwise a pretty good video. Just throwing it out there as criticism, not tryina throw shade I think what you guys have goin is actually great. It just needs some refinement.
The whole "Make a static video" thing was an awesome dad joke. You win the internet today.
The best protection is being too poor to buy a scope

Mine too, if I'm being honest 😅
Had a strong static discharge on the desktop computer case, it was grounded.
It reboted from it, just like lightning, induction did it
why the max and min voltage in square wave is thick yellow instead of thin yellow
Not ESD related, but what always bothers me is students connecting signals with a DC bias on into an RF spectrum analyzer. The pink poly stuff is evil, prohibited from a lot of cleanrooms because of silicones. Metalized film bags and a ESD ionizer

It's a longshot, but you could add your own ground. But, as long as you have the same reference ground as the scope you should be ok

Hello Key sight
Hi!
I wonder how they abused that poor scope to achieve the arcs effect…. Question tho, does it still work? Seems like the arc was jumping from the grounded ring of the probe to the outer shell of the BNC connector? Doesn’t look like any arc jumped to the signal input
Good question! It was a scrap scope, no hope of repair. I hooked up a neon sign transformer to the BNC connection in the back and the probe.
@@KeysightLabs Last time I accidentally discharged to my analog scope (sorry I’m too poor to get a key sight one) and it was fine, I suppose I got lucky and discharged to the outer ring of the connector and luckily it was grounded, it was painful for me tho
Yikes! I've seen folks often touch the outer ring of the BNC to make sure they are discharged. The center conductor is the one to be careful with
You put metal standoffs on the pcb? Looks quite unuseful XD
The standoff points aren't connected to anything, it's the bottom of the PCB at other points where there is actually correction that cause problems.
So if you are that concerned about static buildup, MOVE TO HOUSTON TX. The air here is so humid we drink it!
I lived in College Station and only had a bike to get around, I know it first hand!

Well, it only takes once. But, the big thing to emphasize is that it can partially damage it and only show up later. You could also try to find an ESD tool like we used and actually show them how charged up they are.
I believe that appliances for domestic, industrial or lab use that do not resist static electricity should not be allowed in the consumer market without being marked as electrostatically sensitive equipment or apliance! This should be marked on the device not in the user manual :). if the inside boards of a machine are sensitive to static electricity they should put markings with static sensitive boards inside! near the screw holes :P
It's been a long time since I've snuggled with my cart 😂😂😂
You mean that's not normal?
Omg. I thought the pink packaging foam is anti-static material.
Now that all my equipment is blown, what do i do?
Sounds like you need a new lab full of Keysight gear
@@KeysightLabs Lmao
Constructive criticism incoming. You gotta work on the video editing and cheesy sound effect and music dog.
The content is great but a lot of the sound choices are A: Cringy (like the copyfree music and crickets) and B: Takes you out of the video.
Some things like the "One cannot simply" 2 frame meme is great and the running around time lapse music is too, and the skits are also pretty funny and still engaging with the content. Comedically timed zoom ins are also 👌🏽
But like, a lot of it is really just asinine 2010's windows movie maker level stuff that just comes off as distracting and often cringy enough to even stop watching what is otherwise a pretty good video.
Just throwing it out there as criticism, not tryina throw shade I think what you guys have goin is actually great. It just needs some refinement.
I (Daniel) appreciate the feedback! We're definitely always trying new styles & techniques, so feedback is appreciated

Electroboom vibes lol
Edit: it corrected to electro book xD
I once blew up a $300 IGBT by removing the gate to source link and handling it without ESD protection.
Old vacuum tube electronics which I commonly repair can easily destroy test equipment if not careful
EEVBLOG has covered the fake wireless static band theory without beating around the bush....
The supposed anti-static Pink board bags also do not protect against static discharges. EEVBLOG proved this.
