We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Avishek,

Thanks for sharing the article details. I had a look at the vpd_3dB_bandwidth.lsf script file. Line 16 has the name "vpd_nuderiv;" This is a function which is already present in the same directory and we are calling it from vpd_3dB_bandwidth.lsf  script. But the function name in Line 16 in your screenshot has a different name, as a result you see this error. I will recommend changing the name to the original name.

Regards,
Amrita
