Fetches the integrated noise measurement.

Syntax

int32 __stdcall RFmxSpecAn_PhaseNoiseFetchIntegratedNoise(niRFmxInstrHandle instrumentHandle, char selectorString[], float64 timeout, float64 integratedPhasenoise[], float64 residualPMInRadian[], float64 residualPMInDegree[], float64 residualFm[], float64 jitter[], int32 arraySize, int32 *actualArraySize)

Parameters

NameDirectionTypeDescription
instrumentHandle[in]niRFmxInstrHandle

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

selectorString[in]char

This parameter specifies a Selector String comprising of the signal name and 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 RFmxSpecAn_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.

integratedPhasenoise[out]float64

This parameter returns the integrated phase noise. This value is expressed in dBc.

residualPMInRadian[out]float64

This parameter returns the residual PM in radians.

residualPMInDegree[out]float64

This parameter returns the residual PM. This value is expressed in degrees.

residualFm[out]float64

This parameter returns the residual FM. This value is expressed in Hz.

jitter[out]float64

This parameter returns the jitter. This value is expressed in seconds.

arraySize[in]int32

Specifies the size of the array. Set the arraySize parameter to 0 to get the size of all the arrays in the actualArraySize parameter.

actualArraySize[out]int32 *

Returns the actual size of the array, if you pass NULL to all output array parameters, and set the arraySize parameter to 0.

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 RFmxSpecAn_GetError function.

The general meaning of the status code is as follows:
