Description

1CPERR
A variable that indicates if setup errors occurred for the ACP measurement. None
If ACPERR is 0, no errors occurred. If ACPERR is greater than 0, an error
occurred. An ACPERR value of 1 to 7 indicates that the frequency span,
channel spacing, or the channel bandwidth are not set correctly. An
ACPERR value of
1
to 7 indicates the following:
KPPWRTX
1
Frequency span < (2 x channel spacing
+
channel bandwidth).
2
Channel bandwidth > 2 x channel spacing.
3
Frequency span < (2 x channel spacing
+
channel bandwidth) and
channel bandwidth > 2 x channel spacing.
4
Channel bandwidth < frequency
span/loo.
5
Frequency span < (2 x channel spacing + channel bandwidth) and
channel bandwidth < frequency
span/loo.
6
Channel bandwidth > 2 x channel spacing and channel bandwidth
< frequency
span/loo.
7
Frequency span < (2 x channel spacing + channel bandwidth), channel
bandwidth > 2 x channel spacing, and channel bandwidth < frequency
span/loo.
