Added the ability to set power step size for C.S0011 test 4.4.5 Maximum RF Output
Power Test. This is a user settable parameter. Standard test suites still default to 1
dB, but can be modified to test smaller step sizes.
•
Added a parameter to IS 898 Test 3.4 Soft Handoff in Fading to allow you to specify
the allowable error in Pilot Ec/Io. This was a hard coded value. TASKIT C2K previously
would fail the test if the mobile did not issue a pilot strength measurement by the
time the second pilot was above T_ADD by 2 dB. This is now a user-settable value.
The default in the standard suites is still 2 dB.
•
Modified the channel over ride feature available in the suite grid. Previously, the
override channel only applied to tests executing in connected state and would be
ignored for other test cases performed without a data connection established. For
example, idle handoff tests or access probe tests would ignore the override channel
and instead execute on the channel number specified in the terminal file.
Now, when an override channel is specified, it is used regardless of the test type. It is
assumed that the channel is in the phones PRL for all non-connect state tests and all
test cases that use the AirAccess network emulator
•
Increased the maximum number of tests allowed in a suite. Previously, the maximum
number of rows was 255. The allowable number of rows has been doubled to 510.
•
Password protection of suits and sessions feature has been modified to no longer
show a pop up window every time the TASKIT C2K software loads. Instead, you must
go into software options to enable and disable this feature. When password
protection is enabled, TASKIT C2K launches in read-only mode and anyone modifying
suites has to disable this mode by entering the correct password in the software
options menu. In addition, it was observed that in the rare event TASKIT C2K software
crashed or Windows crashed after a new password was entered, it was not saved.
The password protection feature has been modified to save the password as it is
entered rather than when the software is closed. It is now saved regardless of how
the software terminates.
The following maintenance updates have been added in the 5.30 release of
TASKIT/C2K:
•
Corrected an issue setting measurement averaging for the Maximum RF Output
Power test (C.S0011 test 4.4.5) for supplemental channel test cases. The 8960 was
not set correctly to enable multiple measurements.
•
For the "retry failed and undetermined test results" feature, the number of retries was
not accurate when there was a mix of re-tests for undetermined and failed test
results. This feature has been modified so that a single number of retries can be set.
The TASKIT C2K software stops when the sum of failed and undetermined tests totals
the set value.
•
C.S0011 test 4.4.5 Maximum RF Output Power Test was using the downlink
frequency for retrieving the uplink and downlink calibration values. Because the RF
path for this test varies slightly over frequency, the actual error in loss value was
minimal for most band classes. For Band Class 5, uplink and downlink frequencies
are further apart resulting in a detectable error in test performance. This error been
corrected.
