niRFSG 5611 Configure RF Gain Calibration VI

Configures the device for the next RF gain calibration point and waits for the output signal to settle.

Supported Devices: PXIe-5611, PXIe-5673/5673E

instrument handle identifies your instrument calibration session. instrument handle is obtained from the niRFSG Initialize External Calibration VI.

cdbl.gif

instrument transition power specifies the approximate bottom of the power meter's range where it becomes either too slow or too inaccurate.

cerrcodeclst.gif

error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

iio.gif

instrument handle out passes a reference to your instrument session to the next VI.

idbl.gif

spectrum analyzer reference level returns the value at which to set the spectrum analyzer reference level.

ienum.gif

measurement instrument specifies the instrument(s) to use for measuring the output power.

Power Meter (default) Specifies the power meter.
Power Meter & Spectrum Analyzer Specifies the power meter and spectrum analyzer.
Spectrum Analyzer Specifies the spectrum analyzer.
idbl.gif

frequency to measure indicates the frequency of the generated signal. This value is expressed in hertz. The power of the generated signal should be measured.

inclst.gif

external LO settings indicates the options to set if an LO source is used instead of the PXI/PXIe-5652.

idbl.gif

LO In Frequency indicates the tone frequency to generate with the LO source.

idbl.gif

LO In Power indicates the output power to generate with the LO source.

istr.gif

external AWG settings indicates the options to set if an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is used instead of the PXIe-5450.

idbl.gif

Offset Frequency indicates the tone frequency to generate with the AWG.

idbl.gif

Power indicates the output power to generate with the AWG.

inclst.gif

Impairments indicates the properties to apply to the I/Q signal to achieve desirable calibration results.

idbl.gif

I Offset specifies the DC offset to generate on the I signal.

idbl.gif

Q Offset specifies the DC offset to generate on the Q signal.

idbl.gif

Qtr Skew specifies the adjustment of the phase angle between the I and Q vectors. If the skew is zero, the phase angle is 90 degrees.

idbl.gif

Gain Imb specifies the power ratio (I power / Q power) to generate.
