Inputs/Outputs

  • cstr.png Selector String

    Selector String specifies a selector string comprising of the signal name. If you do not specify the signal name, the default signal instance is used. The default value is "" (empty string).

    Example:

    ""

    "signal::sig1"

    You can use the RFmxSpecAn Build Signal String 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.

  • ci32.png Cold Source Mode

    Cold Source Mode specifies whether the measurement should calibrate the noise characteristics of the analyzer or compute the noise characteristics of the DUT for the cold source method. The default value is Measure.

    Measure (0)

    NF measurement computes the noise characteristics of the DUT and compensates for the noise figure of the analyzer.

    Calibrate (1)

    NF measurement computes the noise characteristics of the analyzer.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error)

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

  • igenclassrntag.png Instrument Handle Out

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

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out

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