•If the Requested Frequency Steps are not 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

Power Steps, and one or both requested lists do not have step sizes
that divide evenly into the frequency and ALC power ranges
requested
•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, all
requested steps are generated. No duplicating of values is required
to satisfy the requested lists.
For example, there are five Requested Frequency Steps when given a
frequency range of 100 MHz to 150 MHz with a 10 MHz step
frequency. There are also five Requested ALC Power Steps when
given an ALC power range from 0 dBm to 5 dBm with a 1 dB step
size. Since the Requested Frequency Steps are equal to the Requested
ALC Power Steps, no duplicating of values is required for any of the
frequencies or the ALC powers, so all requested steps are generated.
•If the Requested Frequency Steps are not 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, the
calculation with the greatest number of requested steps is
generated.
• The calculation with the lower number of requested steps is
generated with duplicated values so that the calculation with the
greatest number of requested steps can be satisfied.
For example, there are ten Requested Frequency Steps when given a
frequency range of 100 MHz to 150 MHz with a 5 MHz step
frequency. Because only five Requested ALC Power Steps are
required to satisfy the ALC power range from 0 dBm to 5 dBm with
a 1 dB step size, some of the values in the ALC Power list are
duplicated.
