3. Once a circuit has been specified,
the software shifts to the Circuit Analysis Screen where results
of the predictions are given in various charts. A plot of Reliability
vs. time-of-day at the specified SNR level is shown here. Each
chart is for a band selected in the right-hand panel, and the
charts may be animated through the bands.
Every time you run a new HF propagation prediction, ACE-HF simultaneously
computes data for ten ham bands, including the proposed 60-meter
band. You then select from 12 analysis graphs plus Best Frequency,
Summary and MUF charts.
You will spend most of your time on this screen, because it's
so easy to compare different circuits. Just click on the yellow
receive terminal dot and move it to another location. The circuit
will be re-specified and new predictions will be made automatically.
The different charts will then be shown instantly.
This screen repeats the Open Bands Boxes and provides menu items
that invoke other specialty charts. You can also view the VOACAP
output files to see detailed tables of the predictions. |
