Power Search - of a List Point
If the List Dialog Box is not active
If the List Dialog Box is not active, the List Power Search Flag check
box is not available. The List Dialog Box can be activated from the Soft
Front Panel’s “Pull Down View Menu” on page 3-40.)
If the List Dialog Box is already active
The List Power Search Flag check box, available from the Soft Front
Panel, is used to immediately run a Power Search on the currently
selected list point. When this check box is selected, a P is displayed
under the Flags column of the List Dialog Box.
• A Power Search is immediately run so that when a list is run
(started), from the List Dialog Box, all list points that require a
Power Search have been completed prior to the list being run.
• A Power Search is run using the current frequency and ALC power
settings (attenuation is not counted). If the frequency and ALC
power are changed after a Power Search has been performed, the
Power Search is repeated.
• During list operations, if leveling is turned on (ALC loop is closed),
the ALC integrator offset values returned by each Power Search are
not used. If the same list of points is run with leveling off (ALC loop
is open), the values obtained for each Power Search are then used.
• A Power Search is run on list points that are placed into the list
using any of the following methods:
— pasting a single list point from the Microsoft Windows Clipboard
using Paste Above List Item or Paste Below List Item (these are
available from the Pull Down Edit Menu)
— adding list points using the Add Above or Add Below buttons
(available from the List Dialog Box)
— adding list points using the List Point Calculator
• If the Power Search button is pressed, a Power Search is run on each
item in the list that has a P flag selected. A Power Search is run even
if it was performed previously.
NOTE If the List Power Search Flag check box is selected on the Soft Front
Panel and a range of points is generated using the List Point Calculator,
a Power Search is performed on each list point as it is added to the list.
This could add a significant amount of time when building the list.
