How can the results of the WinProp API be verified with the WinProp GUI version?

Answer:

Please ensure to define the same settings in ProMan and the API, e.g. power value in dBm and power mode output PA (power amplifier, in this case the antenna gain will be added) or EIRP (in this case the antenna gain is already included in the defined power value).

In the API the corresponding parameters of the WinProp_Antenna data structure are:

    double  Power;          /* Power in dBm                                     */

    int     PowerMode;      /* Power mode (0 = output PA, 1 = EIRP, 2 = ERP)    */

Please note that the result values computed in the API are path loss in dB (not Rx power in dBm), i.e. you need to compare to the path loss of the GUI result.
