4.1.3 TEST PROCEDURE

a. The EUT was placed 0.8 meters from the horizontal ground plane with EUT being connected

to the power mains through a line impedance stabilization network (LISN). All other support

equipments powered from additional LISN(s). The LISN provide 50 Ohm/ 50uH of coupling

impedance for the measuring instrument.

b. Interconnecting cables that hang closer than 40 cm to the ground plane shall be folded back

and forth in the center forming a bundle 30 to 40 cm long.

c. I/O cables that are not connected to a peripheral shall be bundled in the center. The end of the

cable may be terminated, if required, using the correct terminating impedance. The overall

length shall not exceed 1 m.

d. LISN at least 80 cm from nearest part of EUT chassis.

e. For the actual test configuration, please refer to the related Item –EUT Test Photos.

4.1.6 EUT OPERATING CONDITIONS

The EUT exercise program (EMC.exe) used during radiated and/or conducted emission

measurement was designed to exercise the various system components in a manner similar to a

typical use. The program contained on a PC hard disk and is auto-starting on power-up. Once

loaded, the program sequentially exercises each system component in turn. The sequence used

is:

1. Read (write) from (to) mass storage device (EUT).

2. Send "H" pattern to video port device (Monitor).

3. Send " H " pattern to parallel port device (Printer).

4. Send " H " pattern to serial port device (Modem).

5. Repeated from 2 to 4 continuously.

As the keyboard and mouse are strictly input devices, no data is transmitted to (from) them during

test. They are, however, continuously scanned for data input activity.

Remark

：

(1) Reading in which marked as QP means measurements by using are Quasi-Peak Mode with

Detector BW=9KHz；SPA setting in RBW=10KHz,VBW =10KHz, Swp. Time = 0.2 sec./MHz。

Reading in which marked as AV means measurements by using are Average Mode with

instrument setting in RBW=10KHz,VBW=10KHz, Swp. Time =0.2 sec./MHz。

(2) All readings are QP Mode value unless otherwise stated AVG in column of『Note』. If the QP

Mode Measured value compliance with the QP Limits and lower than AVG Limits, the EUT

shall be deemed to meet both QP & AVG Limits and then only QP Mode was measured,

but AVG Mode didn‘t perform。In this case, a “ * ” marked in AVG Mode column of

Interference Voltage Measured。
