Inputs/Outputs

  • cstr.png Selector String —

    Selector String specifies a Selector String comprising of the signal name. You do not need to use a selector string, if you want to configure this parameter for all signal instances.

    Example:

    "signal::sig1"

    You can use the personality specific Build String VI to build the selector string.

  • cgenclassrntag.png Instrument Handle In —

    Instrument Handle In identifies the instrument session. Instrument Handle In is obtained from the RFmxInstr Initialize NIRFSA VI or the RFmxInstr Initialize NIRFSA (Array) VI.

  • ci32.png Mechanical Attenuation Auto —

    Mechanical Attenuation Auto specifies whether RFmx automatically chooses an attenuation setting based on the hardware settings.

    The default value is True.

    False (0)

    Specifies that RFmx uses the value configured in the Mechanical Attenuation parameter.
    True (1)

    Specifies that the measurement computes the mechanical attenuation.
  • cdbl.png Mechanical Attenuation (dB) —

    Mechanical Attenuation specifies the level of mechanical attenuation for the RF path. This value is expressed in dB.

  • 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 the instrument session to the next VI.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

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