RFmxBT ACP Fetch Offset Measurement VI
- Updated2025-10-13
- 4 minute(s) read
Fetches the absolute powers, relative powers and margins measured in the offset channel.
Use "offset<k>" as the selector string to read results from this VI.

Inputs/Outputs
Selector String
—
Selector String specifies a selector string comprising of the signal name, offset number, 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: "offset0" "signal::sig1/offset0" "signal::sig1/result::r1/offset0" "result::r1/offset0" You can use the RFmxBT Build Offset String VI to build the selector string.
Instrument Handle In
—
Instrument Handle In specifies the RFmx session refnum. Instrument Handle In is obtained from the RFmxInstr Initialize NIRFSA VI.
Timeout (s)
—
Timeout 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 VI waits until the measurement is complete. The default value is 10.
error in (no error)
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
Lower Margin (dB)
—
Lower Margin returns the margin from the limit specified by the mask with exception for lower offsets. This value is expressed in dB. Margin is defined as the difference between the offset absolute power and mask with exception. This parameter is valid only if you set the ACP Offset Channel Mode property to In-band. This parameter returns NaN if you set the ACP Offset Channel Mode property to Symmetric.
Upper Relative Power (dB)
—
Upper Relative Power returns the relative power in the upper offset channel measured with respect to the reference channel power. This value is expressed in dB.
Instrument Handle Out
—
Instrument Handle Out passes a reference to your RFmx session to the next VI.
Lower Absolute Power (dBm)
—
Lower Absolute Power returns the absolute power measured in the lower offset channel. This value is expressed in dBm.
Upper Absolute Power (dBm)
—
Upper Absolute Power returns the absolute power measured in the upper offset channel. This value is expressed in dBm.
Lower Relative Power (dB)
—
Lower Relative Power returns the relative power in the lower offset channel measured with respect to the reference channel power. This value is expressed in dB.
error out
—
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
Upper Margin (dB)
—
Upper Margin returns the margin from the limit specified by the mask with exception for upper offsets. This value is expressed in dB. Margin is defined as the difference between the offset absolute power and mask with exception. This parameter is valid only if you set the ACP Offset Channel Mode property to In-band. This parameter returns NaN if you set the ACP Offset Channel Mode property to Symmetric. |
