If your document is connected to a database, then the database administrator must add the custom fields to the following
tables depending on the radio technology implemented in the document:
If your document is not connected to a database, then you can add the custom fields to the corresponding transmitter tables
in Atoll.
To add custom fields to a stand-alone document in Atoll:
1. In the Network explorer, right-click the Transmitter folder and select Open Table from the context menu.
2. Right-click a cell in the table and select Table Fields. The Table Fields dialog box opens.
3. Click Add and enter the following information in the Field Definition dialog box:
Name: Enter the name of the custom field (for example: "O_SPLIT_LOSS").
Type: Select the data type for the custom field.
Default: Enter the default value for the custom field.
The Transmitters area displays all top-level transmitters that can be found on the selected site.
If the power split information of a transmitter is empty or equal to 0, then power split on
this transmitter is disabled. Atoll considers that its full power is available.
The Antennas connected area displays the currently selected top-level transmitter (labelled Main antenna) along
with all of its remote antennas. If no remote antenna is connected to the selected transmitter, this list is empty.
Enter a splitter loss (in dB) in the Power splitter loss column.
Enter a power percentage in the % Power column.
Modifying a value in either of these columns automatically recalculates the other columns:
The corresponding loss or percentage in the other unit(s) is recalculated. For example, if the Power splitter loss
column in set to 3 dB for an antenna, then its % Power is automatically set to 50%.
The remaining power for the Main antenna is recalculated. The main antenna power is automatically set to the
difference between 100% and the sum of all remote antennas powers and cannot be modified.
Main_TX : 33%
Main_TX_Rem0: 33%
Main_TX_Rem1: 33%
When only some of the remote antennas are connected to other remote antennas (multi-level layout), then the remaining
percentage of power is cascaded down the hierarchy. For example:
Main_TX: 50%
Main_TX_Rem0: 25%
Main_TX_Rem0_Rem0: 25%
Select Audit all transmitters to include all the transmitters in the document.
The Audit modified transmitters only to restrict the validation to modified transmitters only.
This feature is disabled for non-connected Atoll documents.
3. In the Consistency of power split information area, select Split power equally to automatically set the power level on
all invalid transmitters.
4. Click Start. Any top-level transmitter that bears power split inconsistencies is reported in the Event Viewer in Atoll.
When the manual mode feature is enabled, a Manual mode option appears in the Power Splitter window.
No constraints are enforced when split power levels are entered manually and applied.
The validation feature (automatic and manual) ignores any power level inconsistencies in the document.
