RFmxWCDMA_OBWFetchMeasurement

int32 __stdcall RFmxWCDMA_OBWFetchMeasurement (niRFmxInstrHandle instrumentHandle, char selectorString[], float64 timeout, float64* occupiedBandwidth, float64* absolutePower, float64* startFrequency, float64* stopFrequency);

Purpose

Fetches the absolute and relative powers of the carrier for the OBW measurement. The relative power is relative to the total carrier power.

Parameters

Input
Name Type Description
instrumentHandle niRFmxInstrHandle Specifies the instrument session. The RFmx driver obtains this parameter from the RFmxWCDMA_Initialize function.
selectorString char[] Specifies a selector string comprising of the signal name and result name. If you do not specify the signal name, the default signal instance is used. If you do not specify the result name, the default result instance is used.
Example:
"signal::sig1"
"result::r1"
"signal::sig1/result::r1"
You can use the RFmxWCDMA_BuildSignalString function to build the selector string.
timeout float64 Specifies the timeout, in seconds, for fetching the specified measurement. Set this value to an appropriate time, longer than expected for fetching the measurement. A value of -1 specifies that the function waits until the measurement is complete.
Output
Name Type Description
occupiedBandwidth float64* Returns the bandwidth containing 99% of the total integrated power of the acquired signal, around the center of the carriers.
absolutePower float64* Returns the carrier power integrated over a bandwidth of 5 MHz. This value is expressed in dBm.
startFrequency float64* Returns the start frequency of the occupiedBandwidth parameter.
stopFrequency float64* Returns the stop frequency of the occupiedBandwidth parameter.

Return Value

Name Type Description
status int32 Returns the status code of this operation. The status code either indicates success or describes an error or warning condition. Examine the status code from each call to an RFmx function to determine if an error has occurred.

To obtain a text description of the status code and additional information about the error condition, call the RFmxWCDMA_GetError function.

The general meaning of the status code is as follows:

Value Meaning
0 Success
Positive Values Warnings
Negative Values Errors
