Abstract
Analysis systems can include both a test and measurement tool for generating measurement data representative of at least one parameter of a device under test and an imaging tool for generating image data representative of a target scene. An electrical isolation mechanism can electrically isolate a user operating the analysis tool from the test and measurement circuit through the imaging tool. The electrical isolation mechanism can include an insulating coating surrounding a part of the imaging tool having an opening proximate the imaging tool so that electromagnetic radiation can enter through the opening and reach the imaging tool. The opening can be sized so that a standard finger cannot penetrate the opening to within a predetermined distance of the imaging tool. Additionally or alternatively, a window positioned over the opening can prevent access to the imaging tool via the opening.
