Couplings

PRACH test preambles configuration parameters and their default values are listed below:

Bandwidth: FR1BW100M,

Numerology: MU1,

PRACHFormat: F0,

SCS: SCS1K25 ,

IncreaseTimeOffset: OFF.

Subframes: <string>

One combined string is needed to be inputted in SCPI command. The format of it is  "name: value , name: value …" .

Default value will be used if parameter is not provided.

The order of parameters does not matter. Parameter's name and value are case sensitive.

If parameter's type is enum and the inputted enum value is illegal ,  error " -224, Illegal parameter value; xxx has incorrect value." will be generated.
