Returns the averaged channel power measurements.

Use "carrier<n>" as the selector string to read results from this VI.

Inputs/Outputs

  • cstr.png Selector String

    Selector String specifies a selector string comprising of the signal name, result name, and carrier number. 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.

    Example:

    "carrier0"

    "signal::sig1/carrier0"

    "result::r1/carrier0"

    "signal::sig1/result::r1/carrier0"

    You can use the RFmxSpecAn Build Carrier String2 VI to build the selector string.

  • cgenclassrntag.png Instrument Handle In

    Instrument Handle In specifies the RFmx session refnum. Instrument Handle In is obtained from the RFmxInstr Initialize NIRFSA VI.

  • cdbl.png Timeout (s)

    Timeout 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 VI waits until the measurement is complete. The default value is 10.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error)

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • idbl.png Frequency Resolution (Hz)

    Frequency Resolution returns the frequency bin spacing, in Hz, of the spectrum acquired by the measurement.

  • igenclassrntag.png Instrument Handle Out

    Instrument Handle Out passes a reference of your RFmx session to the next VI.

  • idbl.png Absolute Power (dBm)

    Absolute Power returns the averaged channel power, in dBm, measured in the specified integration bandwidth.

  • idbl.png PSD (dBm/Hz)

    PSD returns the power spectral density of the channel, in dBm/Hz.

  • idbl.png Relative Power (dB)

    Relative Power returns the carrier power, in dB, measured relative to the total carrier power.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
