Fetches ModAcc differential EVM (DEVM) measurement results. These results are valid only for enhanced data rate (EDR) packets.

Syntax

int32 __stdcall RFmxBT_ModAccFetchDEVM(niRFmxInstrHandle instrumentHandle, char selectorString[], float64 timeout, float64 *peakRMSDEVMMaximum, float64 *peakDEVMMaximum, float64 *ninetyninePercentDEVM)

Parameters

NameDirectionTypeDescription
instrumentHandle[in]niRFmxInstrHandle

This parameter specifies the RFmx session refnum. This parameter is obtained from the RFmxInstr_Initialize function.

selectorString[in]char

This parameter specifies a Selector String comprising of the signal name and the 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. The default value is "" (empty string).
Example:
"signal::sig1"
"result::r1"
"signal::sig1/result::r1"
You can use the RFmxBT_BuildSignalString function to build the selector string.

timeout[in]float64

This parameter specifies the timeout for fetching the specified measurement. This value is expressed in seconds. 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. The default value is 10.

peakRMSDEVMMaximum[out]float64 *

This parameter returns the peak of the RMS DEVM values computed on each 50us block of the EDR portion of the EDR packet. When you set RFMXBT_ATTR_MODACC_AVERAGING_ENABLED attribute to True, it returns the maximum of the peak RMS DEVM values computed for each averaging count. This value is expressed in percentage.

peakDEVMMaximum[out]float64 *

This parameter returns the peak of the DEVM values computed on symbols in the EDR portion of the EDR packet. When you set the ModAcc Averaging Enabled attribute to True, it returns the maximum of the peak symbol DEVM values computed for each averaging count. This value is expressed in percentage.

ninetyninePercentDEVM[out]float64 *

This parameter returns the 99th percentile of the DEVM values computed on symbols of the EDR portion of all measured EDR packets. This value is expressed in percentage.

Returns

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 RFmxBT_GetError function.

The general meaning of the status code is as follows:
