20.4 Test Fixtures
Test Fixture 14-14 (Appendix D.6)
20.5 Test Procedure
1. Insert test fixture into the UUT and attach differential probe and BNC cable to common-mode
terminals on the fixture as shown in Figure 20-1.
Note: It is important to pay close attention to the grounding of test fixture 14-14. Inadequate grounding
may lead to erroneous results. All ground connections should be as short as possible and
