RFmxInstrMX.GetSParameterExternalAttenuationType Method

public int GetSParameterExternalAttenuationType(
	string selectorString,
	out RFmxInstrMXSParameterType sParameterType
)

Public Function GetSParameterExternalAttenuationType ( 
	selectorString As String,
	<OutAttribute> ByRef sParameterType As RFmxInstrMXSParameterType
) As Integer

Parameters

selectorString  String

Specifies the calibration plane name in which either S-parameter or external attenuation table is stored. This input accepts the calibration plane name with the "calplane::" prefix. If you do not specify the calibration plane name, the default calibration plane instance is used. The default value is "" (empty string). On a MIMO session if you do not specify the port name, this configuration is applied to all MIMO ports in the session for the default calibration plane instance. To configure S-parameter external attenuation table for a specific MIMO port, use the port specifier with or without the calplane name. Example: "calplane::plane1/port::myrfsa1/0".

Note

For PXIe-5830/5831/5832 devices, port names should also be specified along with Calplane names. Hence, the valid selector is "calplane::<calplaneName>/port::<portName>". Hence, the valid selector string is "calplane::(calplaneName)/port::(deviceName)/(channelNumber)/(portName)". For a MIMO port, the valid selector string is "calplane::(calplaneName)/port::(deviceName)/(channelNumber)/(portName)". If you specify "port::all", all MIMO ports are considered configured. Use RFmxInstrMX.GetAvailablePorts method to get the valid port names.

Example:

""

"calplane::plane0"

"calplane::plane0/port::if0"

"port::if0"

"calplane::plane0/port::myrfsa1/0"

"calplane::plane0/port::myrfsa1/0/if0"

sParameterType  RFmxInstrMXSParameterType

Returns the type of S-parameter which applies to measurements on the specified port for a Calplane.
