this reason, it is best to plan your schedules so that an
integral number of repetitions can occur in a 24-hour
period. If the total duration of your schedule does not
divide evenly into 24h and you happen to be
transmitting at 00:00:00 UTC, you will experience an
abrupt return to the first frequency in the schedule.
Each schedule file can contain up to 100 entries
specifying the waveform, the frequency, and the
schedule. You can create these files in any spreadsheet
or text-processing program that can produce Comma
Separated Values (.csv) or V6-A ASCII text format
(.fst) files. (The Generate Frequency Stepping Table
utility program translates the .csv or .fst files into
binary files before transfer to the MTU-TXC.)
Table 1-1 on page 4 illustrates the waveform that will
be generated for each Time and Frequency domain
code setting in the schedule files.
