This whitepaper addresses the growing challenges in EMC testing for modern vehicles, particularly for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). It focuses on automating the surveillance process during immunity testing, which traditionally requires test personnel to manually and continuously watch for fault conditions-a task described as tedious and susceptible to error.

The proposed solution is a system centered around the PECOS video software, which uses shielded cameras placed within a test chamber to monitor the equipment under test (EUT). The core of this system is its ability to automatically analyze video in user-defined “Areas of Interest” (AOIs) to detect anomalies.
