CS Analyst™ has a comprehensive set of features that provide fast, accurate predictions for a wide range of conducted susceptibility requirements.

CS Analyst™ calculates voltage and current induced in electric circuits when interference signals are injected on conductors connected to those circuits.

General

• Easy to learn – CS Analyst™ leads you through the analysis process so you don't have to be an EMI expert
