Multiband VS Singleband

Multiband pros

• It is possible to configure more than one band but the data will be available in just this one test. This makes it possible to show data traces of both (or more) bands in one graph
• It is very easy to add/remove bands or adjust them, even band gaps or overlaps are easily to configure
• It is much more clear which band is using which test equipment
• Adding field probe(s) to your configuration is much more logically
• It is possible to easily export data to e.g. .COR files or even as .CAL files.
• The graph module is more advanced
• The automatic peak detection is more advanced
• The regulation algorithm is more advanced
• The manual mode GUI is much more clearer to the end-user
• After a RE test it is still possible to add/remove LLF
• After sweeps during a RE test it is possible for the end-user to manually adjust the peaks
• The use of different polarizations in one test could be done
• During RE test it is possible to adjust the 'Change order' to sort the bands on defined conditions

Multiband cons

• It is not possible to configure specific Amplifier protection(s) during test configuration. Which means, that any .COR file attached to the Amplifier is automatically used.
• No progress bar or estimated test time is shown during a test
• Not all tests available as Single band test are already implemented in Multiband (especially GTEM)

Singleband pros

• A progress bar and estimated test time is shown during a test
• It is possible to configure which amplifier protection should be taken into account (signal power protection is always on).
• During the test the

Singleband cons

• It is not (easily) possible to export measurement data to e.g. .COR or .CAL files.
• The graph module has basic functionalities
• Not easy to remove bands or adjust them, also band gaps or overlaps are not easily to configure; most of the time you have to configure different tests and sequences and combine them to your demands.
• Adding field probe(s) to your configuration is now requiring some steps which are not very obvious.
• It is not possible after a RE test to add/remove LLF
• It is not possible for the end-user to manually adjust the peaks found during a RE test
• During RE test it is not possible to have a 'Change order' and sort the bands on defined conditions
