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 eight Requested Frequency Steps when given
a frequency range of 100 MHz to 150 MHz with a 6 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.
In addition, the full frequency range requested (by the Start and
Stop values) is not covered because the requested frequency Step
size does not divide evenly into the requested frequency range.
• For another example, there are five Requested Frequency Steps when
given a frequency range of 100 MHz to 150 MHz with a 10 MHz step
frequency. Because nine Requested ALC Power Steps are required to
satisfy the ALC power range from 0 dBm to 10 dBm with a 1.1 dB
step size, some of the values in the Frequency list are duplicated.
In addition, the full ALC power range requested (by the Start and
Stop values) is not covered because the requested ALC power Step
size does not divide evenly into the requested ALC power range.
