- the basic structure of a propagation plugin which is creating its own Input interface
- how to set up basic consistency checks
- how to define input annotations including tool tip information
Note that for simplicity Runtime Exceptions have not been included
The structure details are:
- calculation of the resulting path loss
- consistency check
- the validity of the input parameter 'Distance coefficient';
- whether the value of the input parameter 'antenna height' conflicts with the antenna heights set on the system if the PMP is used for the system link or
- description
- unique name of the plugin – must not be empty;
- optional but recommended description of the plugin characteristics;
