Description

RFMXNR_VAL_ACP_NOISE_CALIBRATION_MODE_MANUAL

0 (0x0)

When you set the RFMXNR_ATTR_ACP_MEASUREMENT_MODE attribute to Noise Calibrate, you can initiate instrument noise calibration for ACP manually. When you set the ACP Meas Mode attribute to Measure, you can initiate the ACP measurement manually.

RFMXNR_VAL_ACP_NOISE_CALIBRATION_MODE_AUTO

1 (0x1)

When you set the RFMXNR_ATTR_ACP_NOISE_COMPENSATION_ENABLED attribute to True, RFmx sets RFMXINSTR_ATTR_INPUT_ISOLATION_ENABLED attribute to Enabled and calibrates the instrument noise in the current state of the instrument. Next, RFmx resets the Input Isolation Enabled attribute and performs the ACP measurement, including compensation for the noise contribution of the instrument. RFmx skips noise calibration in this mode if valid noise calibration data is already cached.
When you set the ACP Noise Comp Enabled attribute to False, RFmx does not calibrate instrument noise and performs the ACP measurement without compensating for the noise contribution of the instrument.
