12.8 PSCAN
A PSCAN in consists of several FFT measurements in a row. Each FFT
consists of x samples, where x depends on the “RF Panorama Scan
Resolution BW. Max x = 3199 and Min x = 99 samples, with 16 bit per sample.
The applicable selector flags (see Table 20) are “LEVEL”, “FREQ_LOW”,
“FREQ_HIGH”, “SWAP” and “OPTIONAL_HEADER”.
Data are output when PSCAN is running. Note that each packet contains one
single FFT. The Scan contains several FFT’s
