RFmxLTE Configure Trigger (VI)

Owning Palette: Configuration

Configures the Reference Trigger to use to acquire the signal.

RFmxLTE Disable Trigger

Configures the device to not wait for a trigger to mark a reference point within a record. This VI defines the signal triggering as immediate.

Selector String specifies a selector string comprising of the signal name. If you do not specify the signal name, the default signal instance is used. The default is "" (empty string).

Example:

"signal::sig1"

You can use the RFmxLTE Build Signal String VI to build the selector string.

The trigger is received on the PXIe DStar B trigger line.

TimerEvent (TimerEvent)

The trigger is received from the Timer Event.

Digital Edge specifies the source terminal for the digital edge trigger. This parameter is used when you set the Trigger Type property to Digital Edge. The default value is Rising Edge.

Rising Edge (0)

The trigger asserts on the rising edge of the signal.

Falling Edge (1)

The trigger asserts on the falling edge of the signal.

cdbl.gif

Trigger Delay specifies the trigger delay time. This value is expressed in seconds. If the delay is negative, the measurement acquires pretrigger samples. If the delay is positive, the measurement acquires post-trigger samples. The default value is 0.

cbool.gif

Enable Trigger? specifies whether to enable the trigger. The default value is TRUE.

cstr.gif

Selector String specifies a selector string comprising of the signal name. If you do not specify the signal name, the default signal instance is used. The default is "" (empty string).

Example:

"signal::sig1"

You can use the RFmxLTE Build Signal String VI to build the selector string.

cerrcodeclst.gif

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

iio.gif

Instrument Handle Out passes a reference to your RFmx session to the next VI.

ierrcodeclst.gif

error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

RFmxLTE Configure IQ Power Edge Trigger

Configures the device to wait for the complex power of the I/Q data to cross the specified threshold and then marks a reference point within the record.

To trigger on bursty signals, specify a minimum quiet time, which ensures that the trigger does not occur in the middle of the burst signal. The quiet time must be set to a value smaller than the time between bursts, but large enough to ignore power changes within a burst.

Instrument Handle In specifies the RFmx session refnum. Instrument Handle In is obtained from the RFmxInstr Initialize NIRFSA VI.

cstr.gif

IQ Power Edge Source specifies the channel from which the device monitors the trigger. This parameter is used only when you set the Trigger Type property to IQ Power Edge. The default value of this parameter is hardware dependent.

ci32.gif

IQ Power Edge Slope specifies whether the device asserts the trigger when the signal power is rising or when it is falling. The device asserts the trigger when the signal power exceeds the specified level with the slope you specify. This parameter is used only when you set the Trigger Type property to IQ Power Edge. The default value is Rising Slope.

Rising Slope (0)

The trigger asserts when the signal power is rising.

Falling Slope (1)

The trigger asserts when the signal power is falling.

cdbl.gif

IQ Power Edge Level specifies the power level at which the device triggers. This value is expressed in dB when you set the IQ Power Edge Level Type parameter to Relative, and this value is expressed in dBm when you set the IQ Power Edge Level Type parameter to Absolute. The device asserts the trigger when the signal exceeds the level specified by the value of this parameter, taking into consideration the specified slope. This parameter is used only when you set the Trigger Type property to IQ Power Edge. The default value of this parameter is hardware dependent.

cbool.gif

Enable Trigger? specifies whether to enable the trigger. The default value is TRUE.

cdbl.gif

Trigger Delay specifies the trigger delay time. This value is expressed in seconds. If the delay is negative, the measurement acquires pretrigger samples. If the delay is positive, the measurement acquires post-trigger samples. The default value is 0.

cstr.gif

Selector String specifies a selector string comprising of the signal name. If you do not specify the signal name, the default signal instance is used. The default is "" (empty string).

Example:

"signal::sig1"

You can use the RFmxLTE Build Signal String VI to build the selector string.

Min Quiet Time Mode specifies whether the measurement computes the minimum quiet time used for triggering. The default value is Auto.

Manual (0)

The minimum quiet time for triggering is the value of the Min Quiet Time parameter.

Auto (1)

The measurement computes the minimum quiet time used for triggering.

cdbl.gif

Min Quiet Time specifies the time duration for which the signal must be quiet before the signal analyzer arms the I/Q power edge trigger. This value is expressed in seconds. If you set the IQ Power Edge Slope parameter to Rising Slope, the signal is quiet below the trigger level. If you set the IQ Power Edge Slope parameter to Falling Slope, the signal is quiet above the trigger level.

The default value of this parameter is hardware dependent.

ci32.gif

IQ Power Edge Level Type specifies the reference for the IQ Power Edge Level parameter. The IQ Power Edge Level Type parameter is used only when you set the Trigger Type property to IQ Power Edge.

Relative (0)

The IQ Power Edge Level property is relative to the value of the Reference Level property.

Absolute (1)

The IQ Power Edge Level property specifies the absolute power.
