niRFSA_IsSelfCalValid

niRFSA_IsSelfCalValid

ViStatus niRFSA_IsSelfCalValid(ViSession instrumentHandle, ViBoolean* selfCalValid, ViInt64* validSteps);

Purpose

Indicates which calibration steps contain valid calibration data. To omit steps with valid calibration data from self-calibration, you can pass the validSteps parameter to the stepsToOmit parameter of the niRFSA_SelfCalibrate function.

Supported Devices: PXI-5661, PXIe-5663/5663E/5665/5667/5668

Parameters

Input
Name	Type	Description
vi	ViSession	Identifies your instrument session. vi is obtained from the niRFSA_init or niRFSA_InitWithOptions function.
Output
Name	Type	Description
selfCalValid	ViBoolean*	Returns VI_TRUE if all the calibration data is valid and VI_FALSE if any of the calibration data is invalid.
validSteps	ViInt64*	Returns valid steps. Note  If two or more calibration steps are valid, this parameter returns a bitwise-OR combination of the calibration steps. For example, if both NIRFSA_VAL_SELF_CAL_IF_FLATNESS and NIRFSA_VAL_SELF_CAL_LO_SELF_CAL steps are valid, NI-RFSA returns the following string: NIRFSA_VAL_SELF_CAL_IF_FLATNESS | NIRFSA_VAL_SELF_CAL_LO_SELF_CAL NIRFSA_VAL_SELF_CAL_GAIN_REFERENCE Indicates the Gain Reference calibration data is valid. This step measures the changes in gain since the last external calibration was run. NIRFSA_VAL_SELF_CAL_IF_FLATNESS Indicates the IF Flatness calibration data is valid. This step measures the IF response of the entire system for each of the supported IF filters. NIRFSA_VAL_SELF_CAL_DIGITIZER_SELF_CAL Indicates the Digitizer Self Cal calibration data is valid. This step calls for digitizer self-calibration if the digitizer is associated with the RF downconverter. NIRFSA_VAL_SELF_CAL_LO_SELF_CAL Indicates the LO Self Cal calibration data is valid. This step calls for LO self-calibration if the LO source module is associated with the RF downconverter. NIRFSA_VAL_SELF_CAL_PRESELECTOR_ALIGNMENT Indicates the Preselector Alignment calibration data is valid. This step generates coefficients to align the preselector across the frequency range for your device.
