Abstract: The invention is an apparatus and a process, the apparatus of the invention is an intelligent system configured to test the efficacy of electrostatic discharge devices that includes a touch screen display, a microcomputer, and resident persistent non-volatile memory. Preferred embodiments use the persistent resident memory to store a plurality of test data from a plurality of tests correlated as a data base. The apparatus of the invention in certain embodiments operates as a WEB host wherein remote users may view ESD test data in various ways. The process of the invention relates to the configuration of the apparatus of the invention to at least display test data from a plurality of electrostatic dissipation device tests. The process of the invention may also include the configuration of test settings, or email notification metrics.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for monitoring electrostatic threats or events, and for testing electrostatic dissipation devices wherein data from at least one sensor or input is displayed in discrete real time on a human readable digital display in discrete real time. Typically the invention monitors the resistance of at least one electrostatic dissipation device in contact with a person, is capable of detecting and possibly responding to electrostatic events or voltage threats, and utilizes the presence of electrical noise on analog input as an indication that the apparatus is operating as expected.
