Remarks


The mixer level represents the attenuation value to apply to the input RF signal as it reaches the first mixer in the signal chain. If you do not set this attribute, the RFmx driver automatically selects an optimal mixer level value based on the reference level.

If you set the RFMXINSTR_ATTR_MIXER_LEVEL and RFMXINSTR_ATTR_MIXER_LEVEL_OFFSET attributes at the same time, the RFmx driver returns an error.

This attribute is read-only for PXIe-5663/5663E devices.

You do not need to use a selector string if you want to configure this attribute for all signal instances. Specify the signal name in the selector string if you want to configure or read that signal instance. Refer to the Selector String topic for information about the string syntax.
