| THIS GROUP WILL CONTAIN A REPETITION OF THE ABOVE INFORMATION UNTIL EACH MEASUREMENT HAS BEEN DEFINED. ANY WORD POSITION NOT INCLUDED WILL BE TREATED AS A SPARE CHANNEL OR A "DON'T CARE" CHANNEL. INFORMATION WILL NOT BE PROCESSED FOR THESE "SPARE" CHANNELS. NOTE THAT MEASUREMENT LIST CHANGES AND FORMAT CHANGES THAT ARE A PART OF CLASS II SYSTEMS ARE INCLUDED IN THE ABOVE, SINCE THE KEY TO THE MEASUREMENT DEFINITION IS THE DATA LINK NAME (FORMAT) AND THE MEASUREMENT LIST. | ||||
