RFMXINSTR_VAL_LO_SOURCE_SG_SA_SHARED (SG_SA_Shared) Specifies that the internal LO can be shared between RFmx and RFSG sessions. RFmx selects an internal synthesizer and the synthesizer signal is switched to both the RX and TX mixers. This value is valid only on PXIe-5830/5831/5832/5841.
RFMXINSTR_VAL_LO_SOURCE_AUTOMATIC_SG_SA_SHARED (Automatic_SG_SA_Shared) Specifies whether RFmx automatically configures the signal analyzer to use the LO utilized by the signal generator on the same vector signal transceiver (VST) based on the configured measurements. When using instruments that do not have LOs with excellent phase noise and to minimize the contribution of the instrument's phase noise affecting your measurements, NI recommends to share the LO between the signal generator (SG) and the signal analyzer (SA). This value is recommended in test setups that use a VST with NI-RFSG to generate a signal at the DUT's input and RFmx to measure the signal at the DUT's output. This value automatically: determines whether the SG LO can be shared with SA based on the test instrument used, selected measurement, and the measurement settings.configures instrument specific attributes on SA to share the LO between the generator and analyzer, whenever possible. To enable automatically sharing SG LO with SA, you must first setup the required device specific physical connections mentioned below and then follow the steps in the recommended order. PXIe-5840/5841: SG LO is shared with SA via an external path. Hence, you must connect RF Out LO Out to RF In LO In using a cable. PXIe-5830/5831/5832: SG LO is shared with SA via an internal path. Hence, an external cable connection is not required. NI recommends the following order of steps: 1. Set LO Source attribute to Automatic SG SA Shared in NI-RFSG (or enable Automatic SG SA shared LO on NI-RFSG Playback Library) 2. Set RFMXINSTR_ATTR_LO_SOURCE attribute to RFMXINSTR_VAL_LO_SOURCE_AUTOMATIC_SG_SA_SHARED in RFmx 3. Configure any additional settings on RFSG and RFmx, including selecting waveforms 4. Initiate RFSG 5. Initiate RFmx. Note: When using a DPD applied signal for performing measurements like ModAcc, PvT, or TXP, you must set the RFMXINSTR_ATTR_LO_LEAKAGE_AVOIDANCE_ENABLED attribute to RFMXINSTR_VAL_FALSE and RFMXINSTR_ATTR_LO_SOURCE attribute to RFMXINSTR_VAL_LO_SOURCE_AUTOMATIC_SG_SA_SHARED.

Get Function: RFmxInstr_GetTuningSpeed
Set Function: RFmxInstr_SetTuningSpeed
Values:
RFMXINSTR_VAL_TUNING_SPEED_NORMAL (0) PXIe-5665/5668: Adjusts the YIG main coil on the LO for an underdamped response. PXIe-5663/5663E/5644/5645/5646, PXIe-5840/5841: Specifies that the RF downconverter module uses a narrow loop bandwidth.
RFMXINSTR_VAL_TUNING_SPEED_MEDIUM (1) Specifies that the RF downconverter module uses a medium loop bandwidth. This value is not supported on PXIe-5663/5663E/5665/5668 devices.

RFMXINSTR_ATTR_DOWNCONVERTER_FREQUENCY_OFFSET

Data Type: float64
Access: read/write
Functions: RFmxInstr_SetAttributeF64
RFmxInstr_GetAttributeF64
Description: Specifies an offset from the center frequency value for the downconverter. Use this attribute to offset the measurement away from the LO leakage or DC Offset of analyzers that use a direct conversion architecture. You must set this attribute to half the bandwidth or span of the measurement + guardband. The guardband is needed to ensure that the LO leakage is not inside the analog or digital filter rolloffs. This value is expressed in Hz.

NI recommends using the RFMXINSTR_ATTR_LO_LEAKAGE_AVOIDANCE_ENABLED attribute instead of the Downconverter Frequency Offset attribute. The RFMXINSTR_ATTR_LO_LEAKAGE_AVOIDANCE_ENABLED attribute automatically configures the Downconverter Frequency Offset attribute to an appropriate offset based on the bandwidth or span of the measurement.This attribute is not supported on a MIMO session.

You do not need to use a selector string if you want to configure this attribute for all signal instances. Specify the signal name in the selector string if you want to configure or read that signal instance. Refer to the Selector Strings topic for information about the string syntax.

Default values: For spectrum acquisition types, RFmx automatically calculates the default value to avoid residual LO power. For I/Q acquisition types, the default value is 0 Hz. If the center frequency is set to a non-multiple of LO Frequency Step Size attribute, this attribute is set to compensate for the difference.

The following valid values correspond to their respective devices: PXIe-5646-100 MHz to +100 MHz PXIe-5830/5831/5832/5840/5841-500 MHz to +500 MHz Other devices-42 MHz to +42 MHz

RFMXINSTR_ATTR_DOWNCONVERTER_CENTER_FREQUENCY

Data Type: float64
Access: read/write
Functions: RFmxInstr_SetAttributeF64
RFmxInstr_GetAttributeF64
Description: Enables in-band retuning and specifies the current frequency of the RF downconverter. This value is expressed in Hz.

After you set this attribute, the RF downconverter is locked to that frequency until the value is changed or the attribute is reset. Locking the downconverter to a fixed value allows frequencies within the instantaneous bandwidth of the downconverter to be measured without the overhead of retuning the LO and waiting for the LO to settle. This method is called in-band retuning and it has the highest benefit on analyzers that have larger LO settling times. After setting the downconverter center frequency, you can set the center frequency to the frequencies at which you want to take the measurements.

If you want to avoid the LO leakage or DC offset of analyzers that use a direct conversion architecture, it is more convenient to use the RFMXINSTR_ATTR_DOWNCONVERTER_FREQUENCY_OFFSET or RFMXINSTR_ATTR_LO_LEAKAGE_AVOIDANCE_ENABLED attributes.

If you set this attribute, any measurements outside the instantaneous bandwidth of the device are invalid. To disable in-band retuning, reset this attribute or call the RFmxInstr_ResettoDefault function.This attribute is not supported on a MIMO session.

You do not need to use a selector string if you want to configure this attribute for all signal instances. Specify the signal name in the selector string if you want to configure or read that signal instance. Refer to the Selector Strings topic for information about the string syntax.

The default value is the carrier frequency or spectrum center frequency.

Functions: RFmxInstr_SetAttributeF64
RFmxInstr_GetAttributeF64
Description: Specifies the step size for tuning the LO phase-locked loop (PLL).

You can only tune the LO frequency in multiples of the LO Frequency Step Size attribute. Therefore, the LO frequency can be offset from the requested center frequency by as much as half of the LO Frequency Step Size attribute. This offset is corrected by digitally frequency shifting the LO frequency to the value requested in Downconverter Center Frequency attribute. For PXIe-5831 with PXIe-5653, PXIe-5832 with PXIe-5653, and PXIe-5840 with PXIe-5653, this attribute is ignored if PXIe-5653 is used as the LO source.
