8. Clicking on the "Bands"
control on the left changes the chart from "Time" to
"Bands", and the circuit values for all bands are shown
together. The right-hand controls select time-of-day, and the
chart may be animated through all 24 hours.
Changing the "Values" and "Modes" controls
on the left change from Value hints to Mode hints on both the
Bands and Time displays. When Modes is selected, chart hints
show the Most Reliable Mode (MRM) of the propagation prediction.
The mode hints identify the number of hops the ionospheric layer
for the MRM.
This chart is one of twelve in the Main Chart area. Other selections
include Required Power Gain, Reliability, Elevation Angle, Signal
Strength (in dB microvolts) and Signal Strength in S-units. Each
parameter may be graphed vs. time-of-day or bands.
Each chart includes an ID line at the top that duplicates the
comment line of the Inputs panel. The ID line qualifies the chart
for a particular circuit specification when the screen is printed
for reference. |
