Using the example posted here, I'm trying to find the spectral transmission for a well-known RF regime; let's say 1 GHz- 1.5 GHz. In wavelength, these convert to 299792458 and 199861639 nm, respectively.
But when I run the code, I get the following plot:
Notice that the wavelength range (see question from #28 ) is 199,861,639 - 299792458nm, but the X-axis on the plot only shows a range of 0e6 - 10e6, or 0 - 10,000,000 nm -- a factor of 20 shorter than the shortest wavelength specified in the code. How can I make sense of the output data if I cannot trust the plot? How do I interpret the output?
Further inspection suggests that 10e6 nm is the longest wavelength that can be plotted, even though LOWTRAN 7 is programmed to work from 0 - 50,000 cm^-1, or 200 - Infinity nm. Furthermore, extracting the plotting wavelengths reveals the limitation as well:

Adding these wavelengths, the code becomes:

Why is this artificially limited?
