Format Tab (802.11n/ac/ax/be/bn)

The Format tab of the 802.11n/ac/ax/be/bn Demod Properties configures the VSA's 802.11n/ac/ax/be/bn demodulator. These are the parameters necessary for the VSA to lock on to and demodulate the test signal.

The Format tab configures these parameters:

Standard
Preset to Standard
