Hi Glenn,<br>
<br>
I don't recall the details of your original post. However, what is
returned from the call Joe references is the "peak" value of the
signal. Every sample in each buffer of data is checked to determine
if it establishes a new peak value. There is a decay time constant
applied to this value before conversion to dB; otherwise, we'd have
a peak-hold situation. The default time constant (which I believe
is being used) is 0.1 seconds.<br>

<div>The specific calls I use in the RA utility to obtain Rx1
and Rx2 power levels are:</div>

<div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0059ce">
RA_count = RA_count + 1;</font></div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>where the two signal levels are summed as many times as the
user has specified in the “# of measurements to average”
control in the RA window then the sum is divided by the value
“RA_count" to obtain the average power value for each receiver
over the interval that has been selected by the user. </div>
