PRFMsc Fetch S-Parameters

Fetches the calculated S-parameter measurement.

You can select from the following instances of this VI:

PRFMsc Fetch S-Parameters (Mag-Phase)

Fetches the frequency, magnitude, and phase of a single S-parameter measurement.


S-Par Reference In

Specifies the session reference handle of the S-parameter measurement session.

S-Parameter Selection

Specifies which S-parameter measurement the VI fetches. The default value is S11.

S11 Specifies the S11 S-parameter measurement.
S21 Specifies the S21 S-parameter measurement.
S12 Specifies the S12 S-parameter measurement.
S22 Specifies the S22 S-parameter measurement.

Magnitude Format

Specifies the format of the magnitude for the given S-parameter measurement. The default value is Log Magnitude (dB).

Log Magnitude Specifies that the Magnitude output returns the magnitude of the given S-parameter measurement in log magnitude, in units of dB.
Lin Magnitude Specifies that the Magnitude output returns the magnitude of the given S-parameter measurement in linear magnitude.

error in

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

S-Par Reference Out

Returns the session reference handle of the S-parameter measurement session.

Magnitude

Returns the magnitude of the specified S-parameter. This value is expressed in units as defined by the Magnitude Format input.

Phase

Returns the phase of the specified S-parameter. This value is expressed in degrees.

Frequency (Hz)

Returns the frequency of the specified S-parameter. This value is expressed in Hz.

error out

Error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

PRFMsc Fetch S-Parameters (Complex)

Fetches the frequency and the complex number of a single S-parameter measurement.


S-Par Reference In

Specifies the session reference handle of the S-parameter measurement session.

S-Parameter Selection

Specifies which S-parameter measurement the VI fetches. The default value is S11.

S11 Specifies the S11 S-parameter measurement.
S21 Specifies the S21 S-parameter measurement.
S12 Specifies the S12 S-parameter measurement.
S22 Specifies the S22 S-parameter measurement.

error in

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

S-Par Reference Out

Returns the session reference handle of the S-parameter measurement session.

S-Parameters

Returns a single S-parameter measurement. This value is expressed as a complex number.

Frequency (Hz)

Returns the frequency of the specified S-parameter. This value is expressed in Hz.

error out

Error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

PRFMsc Fetch S-Parameters (All Complex)

Fetches all S-parameters in a measurement.


S-Par Reference In

Specifies the session reference handle of the S-parameter measurement session.

error in

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

S-Par Reference Out

Returns the session reference handle of the S-parameter measurement session.

S-Parameters

Returns all four S-parameter measurements, expressed as a 2D array of complex numbers. Each row of the 2D array is the S-parameter at a frequency point, corresponding to the element at the same array index of the Frequency (Hz) output. The columns of the 2D array are ordered as S11, S21, S12 and S22.

Frequency (Hz)

Returns the frequency of the specified S-parameter. This value is expressed in Hz.

error out

Error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
