1000BASE-T Maximum Output Droop
6. Adjust the oscilloscope to the settings for Points H and J as shown below.
NOTE: Points F and G are like H and J, except they are negative polarity.
7. Measure the output voltage with a differential probe connected across the 100-ohm test load
for each channel.
8. Compute the ratios as shown in the example below.
Point H peak = 1.020 Volts:
