3.1.2 From a Test Scenario to the Required System Configuration
The information in Table 3-1 provides a cross-reference between a test scenario and
the required configuration. The "System Configuration > Fading/Baseband Settings"
dialog serves the opposite way. It provides a short description and an example of the
common application or test scenario of the selected configuration.
