A Data Logger for Adavnced Electrostatic Analysis
The PGA-712 is an advanced electrostatic analysis system designed for use with Prostat’s PFK-100B Field Meter and Charge Plate Monitor Kit. The system records, plots, and analyzes static electricity behavior while automatically generating detailed reports on body voltage generation, electrostatic decay, ionizer performance, and more.
Create Automatic Detailed Reports
The PGA-712's analytical capabilities automatically calculate projected levels of Human Body Model (HBM) voltages. This helps identify the risk of reaching or exceeding hazardous discharge thresholds in ESD-sensitive environments.
By connecting the Field Meter’s analog output to a computer via USB (using the included cables), the Autoanalysis Software transforms your setup into a digital chart recorder with integrated analysis and reporting tools.
It measures, records, analyzes, and graphs electrostatic data, then automatically constructs complete reports — including ambient temperature and relative humidity recorded during each test.
Designed for the Walking Test per ANSI/ESD STM97.2 and IEC 61340-4-5
The PGA-712 system calculates ±3-sigma ranges of body voltage from walking and standing tests. It also plots the probability of reaching specific voltages, and calculates maximum, minimum, and average voltage values, fully complying with ANSI/ESD STM97.2 standards.
Autoanalysis Application Software
The included software provides instant mathematical and statistical analysis, assisting ESD Program Managers and Plant Auditors in evaluating the effectiveness of ESD control measures across device handling and transport procedures.
The PGA-712 is a powerful, flexible tool for electrostatic diagnostics and compliance verification, offering robust data logging and automated analysis to support high-reliability ESD programs.
The PGA-710B is now compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit version of Windows 10 and 11.
