Description
The effect of this algorithm is to ensure that there is enough power available
when executing a command (Read, Write, Lock, Kill command). If a command
fails to execute, it is repeated with an increased radiated power. The radiated
power is increased step-by-step until the power is adequate to execute the
command or until the specified maximum value is reached.
If a value is entered only for "Boost" and not for "Boost max", only write access
with increased power are performed. If the value = 0 is entered for both pa-
rameters, there are no power increases for write/read access.
Note: With the "READ" command, there is no "initial boost". The power cur-
rently set by the panel around is used as the output power (current).
Boost [dB] The value specifies by how many dB the radiated power
is increased in each step.
Boost max [dB] The value specifies by how many dB the radiated power
can be increased as maximum.
The effect of this algorithm is that commands are executed reliably. If the
command fails to execute, it is repeated.
The algorithm is linked to the "Read/Write Power Ramp" algorithm and is only
started when no command could be executed despite the power ramp. If no
"Read/Write Power Ramp" is set, the commands are repeated with the current
power.
Retries The value specifies how often the command is repeated
with the specified maximum dB increase.
