niRFSA_ConfigureIQPowerEdgeRefTrigger

NI RF Vector Signal Analyzers

niRFSA_ConfigureIQPowerEdgeRefTrigger

ViStatus = niRFSA_ConfigureIQPowerEdgeRefTrigger( ViSession vi, ViConstString source, ViReal64 level, ViInt32 slope, ViInt64 pretriggerSamples);

Purpose

Configures the device to wait for the complex power of the IQ data to cross the specified threshold to mark a reference point within the record.

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.
source ViConstString Specifies the source of the RF signal for the power edge Reference trigger. The only supported value is "0."
level ViReal64 Specifies the threshold above or below which the device will trigger.
slope ViInt32 Specifies whether the device detects a rising or falling slope on the trigger signal.
pretriggerSamples ViInt64 Specifies the number of samples to store for each record that were acquired in the time period immediately before the trigger occurred.

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
