Well, some of the set-ups I've seen appear to accept violent mismatches, so concern about the cables may not be misplaced. But I still think that an in-depth study of the discharge path, from source back to source, is needed. What is a 'reasonable waveform definition'? Do you mean a precise

Hi Montara, There are more stories than I can type here. The standard as written is not very good. We addressed this in the early to mid-1990s and determined what was necessary. We also did a lot of round robin testing. Probably most of what you want has been published in the 1990s. Look at
