Hello, I recently ran into a question on the "minimum configuration" for emissions testing on a computer peripheral as stated in ANSI C63.4 and EN 55022. The standards say you must have a serial and parallel device connected to the computer, as a minimum configuration, when testing a computer peripheral. Recently, I purchased a new Dell laptop, which does not have parallel or serial ports. It only has 2 USB and a video port. I also have a new Dell desktop, which has a parallel port, and a bunch of USB ports, but no serial port. Is there an exception for these computers, which are phasing out the old serial and parallel ports? How do I meet the "minimum configuration" requirement?
Thanks in advance, Tim Pierce
