(e) Packet Number: Number of packets to be sent to a Satellite on a given channel during the
test, the selection is available between 50 to 100 packets and can be changed in steps of 5
packets.
(f) Packet Interval: The time gap between two consecutive packets sent during a test. The
minimum interval can be 10mS and the maximum is 25mS and can be changed in steps of
5mS.
(g) TX Power: Transmit power level while sending the packets, the power setting available is
from +8dBm to -9dBm in steps of 1dBm for standard version of Range Finder and values of
20,19,18,16,15,13,10,7,1 dBm for long range version
(h) Receive Threshold: The minimum receive signal strength for a packet to be considered
valid for test purpose. The limit available is -85dBm to -45dBm changeable in steps of
1dBm.
(i) Packet Error Rate: Maximum allowed packet error rate for a successful test. The limits are
2% to 10% maximum - changeable in 1% steps.
