Abstract
In some implementations, an automated self-testing system may include an electric field source and a controller. The controller may detect a trigger event associated with initiating a self test of an electric field sensing device. The controller may cause, based on the trigger event, the electric field source to create a target electric field at a specific location sensed by the electric field sensing device. The controller may receive measurement data indicating a measured electric field strength, detected by the electric field sensing device, of the target electric field. The controller may determine, based on the target electric field strength and the measured electric field strength, whether the electric field sensing device passes the self test or does not pass the self test.
