ChipSHOUTER Users Manual
: Injection Tip Usage

The tip size will affect your actual pulse inserted, it
is always suggested to use the pulse shape monitoring output
to better understand the injected pulse. You can see addi-
tional documentation and examples of the pulse shapes from
the app-notes on our website.
Avoiding Spark Discharge
The ChipSHOUTER is designed as primarily a magnetic field
generation device, and is not designed to generate spark
discharge events. A spark discharge event causes a very high
dV/dT, which can
permanently destroy the output stage of the
ChipSHOUTER
.
When attaching tips, ensure they are tight. A loose tip
may spark during discharge, which will (a) cause substantial
pitting and mechanically damage the contacts, and (b) can
electrically damage the output stage.
Likewise, ensure there is never damage to insulation of
discharge tips. This is especially important if using 3
rd
party tips, as it is possible for closely wound coils to
discharge between windings. This can also cause damage to
the ChipSHOUTER.
