CMW500: Problems during WLAN measurements

Question

During my WLAN measurements, I get an unlock message

Answer

In many cases, WLAN signaling modes 11a/g/n do not work as expected. Here, a OFDM signal with a high crest factor is used. Therefore, the "Expected Peak Envelope Power" is typically set too low. This setting can be found in the main signaling menu. It should be set to 15 dB ABOVE the expected average power.
