1. Capability

Capability

Use this cell to select Basic or Advanced capability.

Basic capability supports configuration of all of the WLAN signal parameters except the channel coding function, and so is suitable for component testing.

Parameters under Basic capability are a subset of the Advanced capability.
Advanced capability supports generation of fully channel-coded waveforms and is suitable for both receiver testing and component testing.

The following parameters are supported only by the Advanced capability
- Convolutional Coder, Interleaver, OFDM Scrambler, and Reserved Service Bits (For 802.11a/j/p, 802.11g OFDM)
- PBCC Encoder and DSSS Scrambler (For 802.11b and 802.11g DSSS)
- Increment Sequence Number, Increment Fragment Number, and the Sequence Number Increment By (Frames)
- MAC Header and MAC FCS

State (Only for carriers other than the main carrier)

Use this cell to enable or disable a carrier other than the main carrier. The main carrier is always enabled. The state of the carriers will be displayed in the carriers table under Waveform Setup.

When a carrier's state is turned OFF, all of the parameters set for this carrier are stored for use the next time it is enabled.
