CS Analyst™
CS Analyst™ is a frequency domain application that solves interference injected on electrical cables.
CS Analyst™ Datasheet
Conducted Susceptibility Analysis
Use CS Analyst™ to predict voltage and current induced by low frequency electromagnetic fields and system operations and to evaluate the performance of system design elements such as cable shields, EMI filtering, and system grounding.
Purchase CS Analyst™ as a stand-alone application or as a component of the EMI Analyst™ suite. CS Analyst™ runs on Microsoft Windows.

- Wire Pigtail Terminations
- Braid Pigtails
- Flat Conductor Pigtails
- Terminations at one end or both ends
Conductor Templates
Model loading, coupling, mismatch, and resonant effects of cabling using eight fully configurable conductor configurations. Select length, wire gauge, separation, ground plane, and shield attributes to match your system interconnects.
- Unshielded wire pair
- Shielded wire pair
- Shielded single wire
- Unshielded wire triple
- Unshielded wire pair over ground plane
- Shielded single wire over ground plane
- Unshielded wire over ground plane
