Offset Power Reference Carrier specifies the carrier to be used as power reference to measure offset channel relative power. The offset channel power is measured only if you set the ACP Carrier Mode property of the reference carrier to Active. The default value is Closest.

Closest (0)

The measurement uses the power measured in the carrier closest to the offset channel center frequency, as the power reference.

Highest (1)

The measurement uses the highest power measured among all the active carriers as the power reference.

Composite (2)

The measurement uses the sum of powers measured in all the active carriers as the power reference.

Specific (3)

The measurement uses the power measured in the carrier that has an index specified by the ACP Offset Pwr Ref Specific property, as the power reference.

Offset Power Reference Specific specifies the index of the carrier to be used as the reference carrier. The power measured in this carrier is used as the power reference for measuring the offset channel relative power, when you set the Offset Power Reference Carrier parameter to Specific. The default value is 0.

Selector String specifies the selector string comprising of the signal name and offset number. If you do not specify the signal name, the default signal instance is used. The default value is "offset0".

Example:

"offset0"

"signal::sig1/offset0"

You can use the RFmxSpecAn Build Offset String2 VI to build the selector string.
