Hi,

pattern 0 is the 'reference DFS test signal', the 700Hz pattern with 18 pulses
each 1us wide.

At implementation time, EN301893 v1.5 was the current revision and the reference
pattern is defined in Table D.3. I double checked that v1.8.1 has this one still
defined, so it remains required.

Given that most basic DFS features in certification labs are tested with this
pattern, I don't expect it to be obsoleted any time.

Out of curiosity: why would you like it removed? From the false-detection
probability, pattern 0 is uncritical (the tricky one is pattern 1).


Cheers,
Zefir
