Explanation on postprocessing options in ProMan?

Not sure which menu you are referring to when you mention Computation tab and Postprocessing Mobile Station. There are a few that come close, but I don't see the one you mention. The ones I see are:
1. There is a Computation tab under Project / Edit Project Parameter, but this tab doesn't have the postprocessing option.
2. There is a Propagation tab under Project/ Edit Project Parameter. It has an option Postprocessing --> Consideration of MS Antenna Properties
3. There is a Computation menu; it has an option Propagation Post Processing.
I suspect you mean the second one. There, you can define a receiver antenna pattern, to determine, after a propagation simulation of the transmitter, how much power that receiver antenna would capture, based on its antenna pattern and orientation.

I apologize for the confusion. What I meant is the Post processing mobile station option under the computation menu

You are probably using an older version of WinProp. In version 2018, the menu looks like this:
I guess that 'PostProcessing: Mobile Station' in your version does the same thing as 'Propagation incl. Mobile Station' in my version. If so, then it is what I mentioned earlier: There, you can define a receiver antenna pattern, to determine, after a propagation simulation of the transmitter, how much power that receiver antenna would capture, based on the receiver's antenna pattern and orientation.
The other one, PostProcessing: MIMO, enables you to go a step further and include the effects of having a small MIMO array. The workflow for MIMO has changed significantly in recent versions, and I have no experience with the way it was before the change.
I hope this helps a bit.
