Index Access Data type Description
46h…55h R UINT-32 These parameters are used to blank the
beams from the MLG-2 for measurement pur‐
poses.
46h contains beams 1 … 32
47h contains beams 33 … 64
…
55h contains beams 481 … 512
0 = beam is blanked
1 = beam is included in the measurement
The beams can be blanked using a bit-coded beam mask. This example shows the
bit-coded beam mask for an MLG-2, with 30 beams.
