For instance, the record “0-20-40-60” means that the test case must be executed for four frequency channels: 0, 20, 40 and 60, that is for the frequencies 2402 MHz, 2422 MHz, 2442 MHz and 2462 MHz.

Appendix B. RF Test Cases of the TC-3000C Test Procedure 1. The tester calculates and sets the TX power to satisfy requirement of expected power at the input of the DUT’s receiver. The TX power is calculated as P + PL, where P RX DUT is the expected power at the input of the DUT’s receiver...
