Right-click on the satellite icon and select Create Transponder from the
drop-down menu (figure 3-14).
2. Enter the transponder Name, Center Frequency, and Bandwidth Span in
the Create Transponder dialog (figure 3-15).
Leave the Pad and Translation Override entries at the default values, if
unknown. The Pad value sets the gain variation between transponders for
automatic switching power calculations. The Translation Override parameter
is used for specific applications and represents a frequency offset for cross-
banded transponders (refer to Appendix A, "VMS Cross Banding" for more
information).
