Don’t Specify Stop
Selecting Don’t Specify Stop, on the List Point Calculator Dialog Box,
designates that the Stop parameter is not specified when calculating a
frequency and ALC power list.
For example, produce a list with five steps over a frequency range of
100 MHz to 200 MHz with corresponding ALC Power levels from 0 dBm
to 10 dBm. The list that is produced has a frequency step size of
10 MHz and a 1 dB ALC power change per step.
Don’t Specify # of Steps
Selecting Don’t Specify # of Steps, on the List Point Calculator Dialog
Box, designates that the # of Steps parameter is not specified when
calculating a frequency and ALC power list.
With this selection, a frequency and ALC power list is derived as
follows:
There are three possible situations that can occur with this control:
•If the Requested Frequency Steps are equal to the Requested ALC
Power Steps, and both requested lists have step sizes that divide
evenly into the frequency and ALC power ranges requested
