using linkBudgetAnalyzer and saving input parameters with GUI window

How could I save the input parameters of the linkBudgetAnalyzer window in the left side so I would not have to retype them every time from whatever the default is? The upper right corner toolbar is not "live" except for the "?" and "switch windows" options. Thank you

Saving, and loading, of settings or sessions is currently (R2019a) not supported in linkBudgetAnalyzer. This functionality may be added in future release.

Could I make some simple modifications to the code that you could suggest and achieve the same, and if yes, how?

[Chandresh Vora]

Unfortunately, no. However, all the compuation code is in MATLAB files under <matalbroot>\toolbox\comm\commdemos\+comm\+internal\+linkBudgetApp directory, where <matalbroot> is the output of "matlabroot". Link Budget Analysis Example (https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2019a/comm/examples/link-budget-analysis.html) explains how all the gains and losses shown in linkBudgetAnalyzer window are computed. You can write a MATLAB script/function to meet your goals.

Thanks,

I have forgotten to mention that there is a bug in the Link Budget Analyzer GUI; it ignores inputs to the Receiver "Feeder loss" and Receiver "Radome loss" for both Uplink and Downlink settings. The same windows do work in the Transmitter section, though.

[Chandresh Vora]

You are correct - receiver feeder & radome losses are getting ignored. Thanks for reporting it.
