The KeyTek ECAT (Expert Computer-Aided Testing) system is a highly flexible, modular pulsed EMI and EMC test platform. Designed for immunity compliance testing, the ECAT mainframe supports various plug-in modules to generate Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), Electrical Fast Transient/Burst (EFT), Surge, Ring Wave, and Power Dips/Interrupts, isolated electrically from the control PC via a dedicated fiber-optic link.
