This example demonstrates how to use a coprocessor-based demodulator to demodulate a Pulsed BPSK Modulated Signal using NI-RFSA and the NI Data Link Test Framework.

Complete the following steps.
  1. Navigate to <LVAddons>\dltf\1\examples\Data Link Test Framework\Modems\Pulsed BPSK\Host\Demodulator and open Pulsed BPSK Demodulator.vi.
  2. Use the VST Device Name control to select the VST.
  3. Use the Coprocessor Device Name control to select the coprocessor.
  4. Use the Coprocessor Bitfile Path control to select the correct modem bitfile for the selected VST and coprocessor.

    PXIe-6594 PXIe-5840/5841 pulsed_bpsk_modem_dmsc_6594_00.lvbitx
    PXIe-7903 PXIe-5840/5841 pulsed_bpsk_modem_dmsc_7903_00.lvbitx
    PXIe-7903 PXIe-5842 pulsed_bpsk_modem_dmsc_7903_01.lvbitx
    PXIe-7915 PXIe-5840/5841 pulsed_bpsk_modem_dmsc_7915_00.lvbitx
  5. Adjust the Signal Parameters and RF Acquisition Settings to match the settings configured for the corresponding modulator.
  6. Run the VI.
    • The front panel graph displays the constellation.
    • Use the Reset Demodulator control to put the demodulator back into its initializing state.
    • The Bit Error Rate indicator displays the calculated bit error rate. Click the Reset BER button to reset the calculation.
    • The string indicator displays the example status.
    • The Bitfile Redownloaded indicator displays whether the bitfile was downloaded to the coprocessor for the current run of the example.
  7. Stop the example by clicking the Stop button or closing the window.
