1. A method of testing an electric discharge stun device, the method comprising:
- absorbing a test discharge from a stun device into a tester, the test discharge comprising a test discharge characteristic;
comparing automatically the test discharge characteristic to a standard discharge characteristic of the stun device; and
indicating whether the discharge characteristic corresponds to the standard discharge characteristic,wherein the test discharge characteristic and the standard discharge characteristic each comprise at least one of a waveform, an amplitude, a duration, a current, a voltage, an energy, and a temperature.

Abstract
A method of testing an electric discharge stun device includes the steps of identifying a stun device to be tested and absorbing a discharge from the stun device into a tester. The discharge is characterized by a discharge characteristic that is then compared automatically to information such as (a) a previous corresponding characteristic associated with a previous discharge of the stun device or (b) a corresponding characteristic associated with a prior discharge of at least one other stun device. The characteristic can be a waveform, a peak voltage, duration, current, joule, and temperature.

10. A tester for testing an electric discharge stun device, the tester comprising:
-
a stun device contact element for receiving a discharge from a stun device; a circuit connected to the contact element; a storage medium for storing information corresponding to (a) at least one of the stun device and the discharge from the stun device, and (b) a known electrical discharge; a processor connected to the circuit for comparing at least one of the stun device information and the discharge information to the known electrical discharge information, wherein the known electrical discharge information comprises at least one of a waveform, an amplitude, a duration, a current, a voltage, an energy, and a temperature; and a stun device identification element connected to the processor. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
