In order to transmit a limited number of 80 ms periods, you must set the PRACH signal for a manual
trigger operation. If the W-CDMA format is on when you select Trigger, the signal will transmit until
the value in the
Number of 80ms
field has been reached. Then the PRACH signal will terminate
and the
RACH Trg
annunciator will gray-out. This means that the PRACH signal is waiting for a
trigger to occur before another transmission can begin. This is shown in Figure 16-27 . Notice that the
PRACH Trigger
softkey has become active (no longer grayed out) when Trigger was highlighted.
