4.18.3. Example 3: Calibrate Test Port for PSD, both 100BaseTX and 1000BaseT
This task is easily performed using the pva_cals command. Port 1,1 should be connected to Port 1,2 using the Sifos
furnished test cable.
Expected Result: STORED
4.18.4. Example 4 Measure 4-pair PSD and SNR of Cal Partner linked 1000Base-T
This task is performed using the mpair_snr and mpair-psd mulit-pair meter commands. Port 1,1 should be connected
to Port 1,2 using the Sifos furnished patch cable. PSD will be evaluated over 1 to 100MHz with 16 averages.
