3.3 Test Equipment
•
Oscilloscope with 1GHz or greater bandwidth
•
Differential probe with 1 GHz or greater bandwidth
•
UUT with gigconf.exe test software

3.5 Test Procedure
1. Connect the test equipment as shown in the figure below.
2. Set the probe to divide by 10 and to full bandwidth.
3. Select the Droop: 40.6.1.2.2 Test from the 1000BASE-T PHY Configuration Tests menu in
gigconf.exe.
4. Adjust the oscilloscope to the settings for Points F and G.
5. Measure the output voltage with a differential probe connected across the 100-ohm test load
for each channel.
