Returns the external attenuation table actual value that is applied to the measurements for a specified signal and calibration plane.

public int GetExternalAttenuationTableActualValue(string selectorString, out double externalAttenuation)

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
selectorStringstring

Specifies a Selector String comprising of the signal name and calibration plane name. This input accepts the calibration plane name with the "calplane::" prefix. If you do not specify the calibration plane name, the default calibration plane instance is used. The default value is "" (empty string). On a MIMO session, you must use "port::<devicename>/<channelnumber>" as part of the selector string to read the external attenuation table actual value for the specified port. If you do not specify the signal name, the value is returned for the last committed signal instance.
example: "" "signal::sig1" "calplane::plane0" "signal::sig1/calplane::plane0" "port::rfsa1/0" "signal::sig1/port::rfsa1/0" "calplane::plane0/port::rfsa1/0" "signal::sig1/calplane::plane0/port::rfsa1/0"</channelnumber></devicename>

externalAttenuationout double

Upon return, contains the external attenuation table actual value applied to the measurements for a specified signal and calibration plane. This further includes interpolation of the external attenuation table based on the specified signal. On a MIMO session, this value corresponds to a specified port. This value is expressed in dB.

Returns

Returns the status code of this method. The status code either indicates success or describes a warning condition.
