Description
A variable that indicates if setup errors occurred for the ACPE
measurement. 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:
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),
channe:
bandwidth > 2 x channel spacing, and channel bandwidth < frequency
span/loo.
