Electroshock weapons (ESWs) have become a ubiquitous component of weapons used in the arsenal of domestic law enforcement (LE) agencies and the military around the world. It is a major contributor to the escalation of force policies and procedures of many LE agencies. ESWs function by providing a high-voltage low-current electrical shock that, when discharged into a live (typically human) target, can temporarily incapacitate that target. Consequently, it is important to accurately measure the output of the ESW to ensure it is operating properly. Moreover, accurate and standardized measurements of ESW output support collaborative transfer of information, thus facilitating the advancement of the knowledge of physiological ESW effects, promoting the advancement of the technology for safe and effective use, and facilitating accurate comparison of ESW performance.
电击武器（ESWs）已成为全球国内执法（LE）机构和军队武器库中普遍使用的武器组成部分。它是许多执法机构武力政策和程序升级的主要促成因素。电击武器通过提供高电压低电流电击来发挥作用，当电击释放到活体（通常是人类）目标上时，可使该目标暂时丧失能力。因此，准确测量电击武器的输出以确保其正常运行非常重要。此外，电击武器输出的准确和标准化测量有助于信息的协同传递，从而促进对电击武器生理效应知识的进步，推动安全有效使用技术的进步，并便于对电击武器性能进行准确比较。
