niRFSA_ConfigureSpectrumFrequencyStartStop

NI RF Vector Signal Analyzers

niRFSA_ConfigureSpectrumFrequencyStartStop

ViStatus = niRFSA_ConfigureSpectrumFrequencyStartStop( ViSession vi, ViConstString channelList, ViReal64 startFrequency, ViReal64 stopFrequency);

Purpose

Configures the start and stop frequency of a spectrum acquisition.

Note  If you configure the spectrum span (stopFrequencystartFrequency) to a value larger than 20 MHz, RFSA performs multiple acquisitions and combines them into a spectrum of the size you requested.

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.
startFrequency ViReal64 Specifies the lower band of a span of frequencies.
stopFrequency ViReal64 Specifies the upper band of a span of frequencies.

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:

Value Meaning
0 Success
Positive Values Warnings
Negative Values Errors
