IviRFSigGen_ConfigurePowerStepStartStop
IviRFSigGenPowerStep Capability Group
C Function Prototype
ViStatus IviRFSigGen_ConfigurePowerStepStartStop (ViSession vi, ViReal64 start, ViReal64 stop, ViReal64 stepSize);
Purpose
This function configures the settings that control the power steps of the generator's RF output signal. These settings are start and stop power and step size. If the stop power is less than the start power, the power decreases in value during the sweep
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| vi | ViSession | The ViSession handle that you obtain from the IviRFSigGen_init or IviRFSigGen_InitWithOptions function. The handle identifies a particular instrument session. Default Value: None |
| start | ViReal64 | Specifies the start power of the stepped sweep. If the stop power is less than the start power, the power decreases in value during the sweep. The driver uses this value to set the IVIRFSIGGEN_ATTR_POWER_STEP_START attribute. Units: dBm Default Value: -50.0 |
| stop | ViReal64 | Specifies the start power of the stepped sweep. If the stop power is less than the start power, the power decreases in value during the sweep. The driver uses this value to set the IVIRFSIGGEN_ATTR_POWER_STEP_STOP attribute. Units: dBm Default Value: -10.0 |
| stepSize | ViReal64 | Specifies the step size. The driver uses this value to set the IVIRFSIGGEN_ATTR_POWER_STEP_SIZE attribute. Units: dBm Default Value: 0.1 dBm |
