Fetches the compression points.

Syntax

Namespace: NationalInstruments.RFmx.SpecAnMX

public int FetchCompressionPoints(string selectorString, double timeout, ref double[] inputCompressionPoint, ref double[] outputCompressionPoint)

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
selectorStringstring

Pass an empty string. The signal name that is passed when creating the signal configuration is used.

timeoutdouble

Specifies the timeout, in seconds, for fetching the specified measurement. Set this value to an appropriate time longer than expected for fetching the measurement. A value of -1 specifies that the method waits until the measurement is complete.

inputCompressionPointref double[]

Returns the theoretical input power, in dBm, at which device gain drops by the compression level, specified through AMPM Compression Point Level (dB) property, from a gain reference computed based on the value that you specify for the AmpmCompressionPointGainReference attribute.

outputCompressionPointref double[]

Returns the theoretical output power, in dBm, at which device gain drops by the compression level, specified through AMPM Compression Point Level (dB) property, from a gain reference computed based on the value that you specify for the AmpmCompressionPointGainReference attribute.

Returns

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