ECF = 0:
RTC disabled
0<ECF<1.0:
Align offset = Computed offset
and
Target offset = ECF x computed offset
1.0<ECF<10.0:
Align offset = ECF x target offset
where
Target offset = Computed offset
ECF > 10:
Fixed number of RTC cycles where number of cycles = ECF - 10
Align offset = The offset the splicer sets at the beginning of the splicing sequence.
Computed offset = The offset calculated by the splicer based on DESIRED ATTENUAT. and RIGHT MFD and LEFT MFD.
Target offset = The intended offset at the end of the splicing sequence.
