Generating an I/Q Waveform
The Digital Signal Transceiver Driver allows you to control the transmission of the I/Q waveform through the high-speed serial and enables the digital TRM to generate an RF signal. Complete the following steps to generate I/Q data.
-
Create the I/Q waveform file by using LabVIEW functions, the
RFmx Waveform Creator, or your program of choice.
Note Learn about using the RFmx Waveform Creator on Creating and Generating Signals Using NI-RFmx Waveform Creator.
- Use the I/Q waveform file in DST InstrumentStudio or LabVIEW to load the specific I/Q waveform.
- Configure the generation properties and the specific test parameters.
- Commit the properties to the instrument to load the I/Q data into the onboard memory and commit the script used to generate the I/Q data.
- Initiate generation and verify if that is complete.
- Stop and release hardware after the generation completes.
The following fundamentals are important to understand when generating I/Q data.
