Vertical:IF Output Power Level (dBm) Property

Vertical:IF Output Power Level (dBm) Property

Short Name: IF Output Power Level

Property of niRFSA

Specifies the level of the IF signal leaving the system, in dBm. Use this property to increase or decrease the nominal IF signal output level to achieve better measurement results.

If you set the IF Output Power Level and IF Output Power Level Offset properties at the same time, NI-RFSA returns an error.

Note  If you set the IF Output Power Level property to a value less than –10 dBm, the IF output power level may be higher than the value you request. Read the value of this property to determine the configured IF output power level.

Note  The value of this property is limited by the amount of IF attenuation that the downconverter can apply, the Reference Level property, the Downconverter Center Frequency property, and the Center Frequency or IQ Carrier Frequency property, depending on your acquisition type.

Default Value:

PXIe-5667: -2 dBm

PXIe-5668: -1 dBm

All other devices: -6 dBm

Supported Devices: PXIe-5601/5603/5605/5606 (external digitizer mode), PXIe-5663/5663E/5665/5667/5668, PXIe-5693/5694
