Seriously guys, you can calibrate the -carpet surf- test jig by walking (or 'surfing') across a fixed length of carpet with same slippers or shoes,
both selected to create a suitable electrostatic BANG! to a multimeter.
The brief ON and OFF pullover test can be done in any weather,
I don't expect Mr JQS to keep on a pullover for the duration of a Youtube video during inferno weather conditions
This can be the final word on real world "Handheld meter electrical robustness testing." for any meter!
Assuming it first survives the screwdriver drop and cow pat test (Fluke 28-11 owners will love that s***)
As Fungus mentioned and if you read the couple of papers I had linked in the YT comments, the type of fabric will have a big effect. So will humidity. Your test plan is right there with Fungus's drop test. I think if you do a little research on how the ESD standards evolved (continue to evolve) you may find it interesting.
Well, it's been another VERY long day of meter testing. Let me just say from my perspective of running these test, it's one thing to buy a meter that is in production that anyone can buy and then run these potentially destructive tests on it. Running a meter that you know there are only a very limited number made is a whole different story. If it were my design, I would be all for running it to failure. I've been in that position many times.
The video is currently rendering. Because of the meter not being released yet, my plan is to allow Dave to review it first and make sure there is nothing proprietary being shown. I've kept things pretty basic and not expecting there to be problems. So stay tuned, it shouldn't be much longer.
