    5. The RX PER = [ (Total lost packets at the receiver) / (Total sent packets from the Signal Generator) ] x 100%. Thus, PER =100% - [(pktengrxducast numbers after sequence play) – (pktengrxducast numbers before sequence play)] / (Total sent packets from the signal Generator) x 100%. A simple PER calculation tool (fer.exe) can help you do the job: NOTE: The fer.exe must be located with wl.exe in the same directory.
