Returns the status of a specific power versus time (PVT) measurement segment along with the measured segment powers.

Use "segment<n>" as the selector string to read this VI.

Inputs/Outputs

  • cstr.png Selector String —

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

    Examples:

    "segment0"

    "signal::sig1/segment0"

    "result::r1/segment0"

    "signal::sig1/result::r1/segment0"

    You can use the RFmxTDSCDMA Build Segment 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.

  • cdbl.png Timeout (s) —

    Timeout 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 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 Segment Mean Absolute Power (dBm) —

    Segment Mean Absolute Power returns the mean measured power corresponding to the Segment Margin parameter. This value is expressed in dBm.

  • igenclassrntag.png Instrument Handle Out —

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

  • ii32.png Segment Status —

    Segment Status returns the measurement status for an individual PVT measurement segment.

    Fail (0) Indicates that the test has failed, and the measured power in at least one measurement segment violates the limit.
    Pass (1) Indicates that the test has passed and the measured power in all defined segments does not violate the limits.
  • idbl.png Segment Margin (dB) —

    Segment Margin returns the power margin for an individual PVT measurement segment, which is the minimum power distance to the power limit measured within the PVT measurement segment. This value is expressed in dB.

  • idbl.png Segment Margin Time (s) —

    Segment Margin Time returns the position in time corresponding to the Segment Margin parameter. This value is expressed in seconds.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

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

  • idbl.png Segment Maximum Absolute Power (dBm) —

    Segment Maximum Absolute Power returns the maximum measured power of an individual PVT measurement segment. This value is expressed in dBm.

  • idbl.png Segment Minimum Absolute Power (dBm) —

    Segment Minimum Absolute Power returns the minimum measured power of an individual PVT measurement segment. This value is expressed in dBm.
