niRFSA_ConfigureIQCarrierFrequency

NI RF Vector Signal Analyzers

niRFSA_ConfigureIQCarrierFrequency

ViStatus = niRFSA_ConfigureIQCarrierFrequency( ViSession vi, ViConstString channelList, ViReal64 carrierFrequency);

Purpose

This function configures the carrier frequency of the RF vector signal analyzer hardware during an IQ acquisition.

Parameters

Input
Name Type Description
vi ViSession Identifies your instrument session. vi is obtained from the niRFSA_init or the niRFSA_initWithOptions functions and identifies a particular instrument session.
channelList ViConstString Identifies channels to apply settings. Use "" or VI_NULL to specify all channels.
carrierFrequency ViReal64 Specifies the expected carrier frequency of the incoming signal for demodulation. The RF vector signal analyzer tunes to this frequency. This value may be coerced based on hardware settings and downconversion specifications.

Return Value

Name Type Description
status ViStatus Returns the status code of this operation. The status code either indicates success or describes an error or warning condition. You examine the status code from each call to an instrument driver function to determine if an error occurred.

To obtain a text description of the status code, call the niRFSA_error_message function. To obtain additional information about the error condition, call the niRFSA_GetError function. To clear the error information from the driver, call the niRFSA_ClearError function.

The general meaning of the status code is as follows:

0 Success
Positive Values Warnings
Negative Values Errors
