Coming in for EMC testing...

[jmc303]

I'm over at t'airfield.

I'm don't normally get to see those tests happen, I just get to spec and sim them amongst other things.

[Apache]

Do you work for Airbus? Do BAeS have a place on that airfield still? The ex-missus works for Airbus at Broughton. I used to go there to meetings with Raytheon.

[BUSHWHACKER]

I believe the Audi is something like 570BHP! We do need to warm them up before testing

you could warm up that Volvo by lighting a fire under it.

[Apache]

We might have to go and pick them up. Some poor fool has already said he'll drive the Volvo, and I'll kill to drive the Audi back.

[BUSHWHACKER]

X5s ain't 'all that' either, was behind one a few weeks ago, he TRIED to lose me, failed miserably.

[Apache]

Yeah, but he probably thought you were driving the 2.4 'Continental Drift' special edition

[Albannach]

What is EMC testing and why do it?

[BUSHWHACKER]

T'was an old one though, probably a V6, six cylinder.
The new V8 ones are packin' some muscle under the hood!

[Albannach]

T'was an old one though, probably a V6, six cylinder.

A six cylinder V6 eh? Who'd have thought...

[BUSHWHACKER]

A six cylinder V6 eh? Who'd have thought...

I meant in-line six, but I subconsciously typed V6 for some reason.

[Apache]

What is EMC testing and why do it?

To answer both your questions with one answer.

Various laws and regulations demand that electronic devices do not cause other electronic devices to malfunction by operation in the proximity, or be caused to malfunction by external electromagnetic fields.

[jmc303]

Do you work for Airbus?

Give the man some points!

Do BAeS have a place on that airfield still?

Aye, they do, though not on the flightline. they're set back at the top of the hill, about a mile from the runway.

[Apache]

Give the man some points!

F*ck the points! Give me the cash!

[jmc303]

Actually maybe a medal would have been more appropriate :P

[Apache]

Nah, run out of space.

Hard cash always wins!
