Indeed the software does what it is designed to do, but that doesn't mean that the design is correct. I also use software that (when using drive tables from the field calibration) advances to the next frequency and then adjusts the drive. As was mentioned previously, the proper way of doing this would be to check the drive level for the next frequency. If the drive level is higher, advance to the next frequency, then change the drive level. If the drive level is lower, change the drive level and then advance the frequency. This is how I did it in my previous life where I "rolled my own" RF immunity test software. To get around this, I could take advantage of a feature of the software I'm now using - turning the RF off between each step. Unfortunately, this accelerates wear on the electromechanical attenuator. So I use this only when I need to, but I shouldn't need to. Don Borowski Schweitzer Engineering Labs Pullman, WA This e-mail may contain SEL confidential or legally privileged information.
