Configures hardware for acquisition, performs measurement on acquired data, and returns the transmit power (TXP) measurement results.

Inputs/Outputs
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.
Instrument Handle In
—
Instrument Handle In specifies the RFmx session refnum. Instrument Handle In is obtained from the RFmxInstr Initialize NIRFSA VI.
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. The default value is 10.
error in (no error)
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
Minimum Power (dBm)
—
Minimum Power returns the minimum power, in dBm, of the averaged power trace.
Instrument Handle Out
—
Instrument Handle Out passes a reference of your RFmx session to the next VI.
Average Mean Power (dBm)
—
Average Mean Power returns the mean power, in dBm, of the signal. Only the samples above the threshold are used by the measurement when you set the TXP Threshold Enabled property to True. When you set the TXP Averaging Enabled property to True, the mean power is measured on the power trace averaged over multiple acquisitions.
Peak to Average Ratio (dB)
—
Peak to Average Ratio returns the ratio of the peak power of the signal to the mean power. Only the samples above the threshold are used by the measurement when you set the TXP Threshold Enabled property to True. When you set the TXP Averaging Enabled property to True, the peak and mean powers are measured using the power trace averaged over multiple acquisitions.
Maximum Power (dBm)
—
Maximum Power returns the maximum power, in dBm, of the averaged power trace.
error out
—
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
