niRFPM Properties
May 2021 375624E-01
Use the NI-RFPM properties to access advanced configuration options for NI-RFPM applications.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Active Channel |
Specifies the port name used to access all subsequent properties in this instance of the property node. If the property you want to use is port-based, you must first select this property and then pass the name of the specific port. If the property you specify is not port-based, pass an empty string, or omit setting this property. Details |
| Measurement:Vector Correction Enabled |
Specifies whether the vector error correction is applied to the measurement data. Details |
| Measurement:De-embedding Enabled |
Specifies whether de-embedding is applied to the measurement and calibration data. Details |
| Measurement:De-embedding S2P Path |
Specifies the path to the S2P file that characterizes the de-embedding network for the given port. Details |
| Measurement:De-embedding S2P Orientation |
Specifies whether the de-embedding network in the S2P file is connected with port 1 towards the DUT or port 2 towards the DUT. Details |
| Measurement:Reference Level Port Extension Selected Table |
Specifies reference level port extension table for the active channel. This property does not support the RF subsystem. Details |
| Measurement:Reference Clock Source |
Specifies the source to use for the Reference Clock. Details |
| Measurement:Interpolation Enabled |
Specifies if interpolation across frequency is used when fetching source and receiver offsets by parameters. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Measurement:Maximum Frequency Span for Interpolation |
Specifies the maximum span between two adjacent calibration frequencies for which interpolation will be performed, expressed in Hz. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Measurement:External Settling Time |
Specifies the time to delay the S-parameter measurement after the source is modified to allow for external settling. This value is expressed in seconds. Details |
| Measurement:Reference Level Coercion Enabled |
Specifies whether reference level is coerced to the next highest reference level with a matching frequency when fetching receiver offset by parameters. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Measurement:Maximum Reference Level Coercion |
Specifies the maximum difference allowed between the requested reference level and the matching reference level when reference level coercion is enabled, expressed in dBm. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Measurement:Power Level Coercion Method |
Specifies if and how power level is coerced when fetching the source offset. Coercion can either be to the nearest calibrated power level with a matching frequency, or to a lower power level only. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Measurement:Maximum Power Level Coercion |
Specifies the maximum difference allowed between the requested power level and the matching power level when power level coercion is enabled, expressed in dBm. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Measurement:Source Amplitude Settling |
Specifies the source amplitude settling accuracy for vector and scalar measurements in decibels. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Measurement:Receiver Amplitude Settling |
Specifies the receiver amplitude settling accuracy for scalar measurements in decibels. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Measurement:Vector Receiver Amplitude Settling |
Specifies the receiver amplitude settling accuracy for vector measurements in decibels. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration:Source Power Correction Enabled |
Specifies whether the source output power offsets use user-calibrated values or factory calibration values. This property also specifies whether the source output power offsets are applied during S-parameter measurements. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration:Receiver Power Correction Enabled |
Specifies whether the receiver input power offsets use user-calibrated values or factory calibration values. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration:AutoCal Resource Name |
Specifies the resource name of the NI Automatic RF Calibration Module used for automatic calibration. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration:Power Meter Resource Name |
Specifies the name of the power meter resource that an RF multiport calibration module uses. To read this attribute, the RF multiport calibration module must be connected. If there is only one RF multiport calibration module and the AutoCal Resource Name property is an empty string, the driver automatically detects the RF multiport calibration module to get the power meter resource name from. If there is more than one NI Automatic RF Calibration Module or the string is not empty, the driver finds the power meter resource name from the RF multiport calibration module specified by the AutoCal Resource Name property. This property does not report a valid resource name until after the niRFPM Init User Calibration VI runs. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration:AutoCal Absolute Vector Calibration Enabled |
Specifies whether the automatic calibration routine collects absolute vector error coefficients or relative vector error coefficients. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration:AutoCal Source Scalar Calibration Enabled |
Specifies whether the automatic calibration routine collects source scalar offsets. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration:AutoCal Receiver Scalar Calibration Enabled |
Specifies whether the automatic calibration routine collects receiver scalar offsets. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration Load Board Calibration Information:Calibration Load Board Calibration Year |
Returns the year of the last time the RF multiport calibration module was calibrated. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration Load Board Calibration Information:Calibration Load Board Calibration Month |
Returns the month of the last time the RF multiport calibration module was calibrated. The returned value is expressed as an integer. For example, December is represented as 12. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration Load Board Calibration Information:Calibration Load Board Calibration Day |
Returns the day of the last time the RF multiport calibration module was calibrated. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration Load Board Calibration Information:Calibration Load Board Calibration Hour |
Returns the hour of the last time the RF multiport calibration module was calibrated. The time is expressed in 24-hour clock format according to your local time zone. For example, if the device was calibrated at 2:00 PM, this function returns 14 as the value of this property. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration Load Board Calibration Information:Calibration Load Board Calibration Minute |
Returns the minute of the last time the RF multiport calibration module was calibrated. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration Load Board Calibration Information:Calibration Load Board Calibration Second |
Returns the second of the last time the RF multiport calibration module was calibrated. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
| Calibration Load Board Calibration Information:Calibration Load Board Calibration Temperature |
Returns the temperature of the RF multiport calibration module for the last time the RF multiport calibration module was calibrated. This property does not support the mmWave subsystem. Details |
