Calibrated slug ANYONE

[TiMi_264191]

Hi

   

I have returned to efforts to use CapSense and my experiments with the TUNER show that I should use a Calibrated Slug rather than a finger. I have not been successful in understanding what to use as a calibrated slug. What is used as a calibrated slug?

   

Besides the Getting Started with CapSense... and the CapSense_ESD datasheet, where does one find information on using the Tuner?

   

Thanks

I will go out on a  limb, a calibrated slug would be simple cylinder

   

with a known effective C at a given distance to target electrode ?
