Tx Emphasis Off (IDLE_REF0)

The purpose of this test is to gain a reference point in order to compute the equalization calculation for
REF1 and REF2. There are no actual pass/fail measurements performed in this test. This test step must
be run in order to measure Ref1 or Ref2. This may also be referred to as REF3 or no equalization.

With the transmitter set to its maximum peak voltage the emphasis coefficients for REF0 must be set to:
