|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 211309 | MT Viterbi decoder fails when bits are not aligned correctly Consider a rate 1/2 Viterbi decoder. This decoder expects the same two bits that result out of a single bit fed to the encoder. If the decoder is given the first bit from the current code word and second bit from the next code word, that is, the coded bitstream is not aligned to the info bit stream, the Viterbi decoder fails to decode correctly. Workaround: Align the coded bits appropriately before feeding to the MT Convolutional Decode VI.

| 255784 | OQPSK BER using MT PSK demodulation is suboptimal at SNR <15 dB The BER computed from the bits returned by the Offset option in the MT Demodulate PSK VI deviates significantly from the theoretical BER curve at SNR less than 15 dB or at low excess bandwidth (for example, when the pulse-shaping filter used is Raised Cosine/Root Raised Cosine, and the value of the filter rolloff coefficient is less than 0.3). Workaround: N/A

| 276574 | The default number of taps for the pilot extraction filter on MT AM SSB/MT VSB Demod may not provide sufficient pilot rejection The number of taps set in the pilot extraction filter cluster of MT Demodulate AM (SSB) or MT Demodulate AM (VSB) VIs is also used internally as the number of taps for the pilot rejection filter. However, the rejection filter requires at least 4 times higher number of taps to have sufficient rejection so that the demodulated message signal does not have significant pilot-induced distortion. Workaround: Increase the number of taps in the pilot extraction filter. This improves the rejection ratio, but at the cost of slowing down the pilot extraction operation.

| 219153 | MT RS Symbol Decode VI returns incorrect data if number of errors exceeds (n-k)/2 Reed Solomon decoders can correct the input symbol stream only if the number of symbol errors is less than or equal to (n-k)/2. However, in the MT Reed Solomon Symbol Decode VI, if there are more than (n-k)/2 symbol errors in the input codeword, new errors may be introduced in the decoded information symbols. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 258739 | If the number of bits at the input of the MT RS Symbol Encoder (Normal) is less than k*bits/symbol, no error is returned, but the output array is empty If the number of bits to the MT RS Symbol Encoder (Normal) is less than k*bits/symbol, no error is returned, but the output array is empty. Workaround: Explicitely check for the size of the input to the encoder.

| 280672 | Need to relink deprecated VIs/subVIs for applications built with NI Modulation Toolkit 4.2.1 or earlier If an application built with NI Modulation Toolkit 4.2.1 or earlier uses deprecated VIs or subVIs from previous versions of the NI Modulation Toolkit, and you upgrade to NI Modulation Toolkit 4.3, the application may not find the deprecated VIs/subVIs, even though the VIs are present on the disk. Workaround: Specify the new paths to the deprecated VIs/subVIs.

| 281104 | Upgrading the NI Modulation Toolkit from a previous installation Upgrading to Modulation Toolkit 4.3 for LabVIEW from a previous installation may lead to the installation of the Modulation Toolkit files to versions of LabVIEW that are not present on the system, in addition to versions of LabVIEW present on the system. This happens only if any of the following standard-specific toolkits are installed on the system:

| 281105 | Setting the 3D Eye Graph default acceleration The Use 3D acceleration option for the 3D eye control is set to OFF by default for widest compatibility. If your computer has a hardware accelerator, you can improve the performance of the graph by changing this setting. To change this setting, right-click the 3D eye control, select CWGraph3D»Properties, and select the Use 3D acceleration option. You can also change this setting in examples that use the 3D eye control. Workaround: N/A

| 281107 | Demod/Bit Recovery VIs may show degraded BER performance if data is fed in chunks For demodulating continuously or for demodulating a large input data, the NI Modulation Toolkit Demodulator/Bit Recovery VIs may need to run multiple times in a loop with the input data fed in chunks. In this case, the reset parameter must be TRUE in the first call and FALSE in the subsequent calls to the VI. However, in such cases, the recovered bits may not be error free in the subsequent calls, even at very high SNR values. Workaround: Divide the input data into overlapping chunks and feed each chunk to the demodulator/bit recovery VI, with the reset parameter set to TRUE. Delete the appropriate number of bits at the beginning of each demodulated chunk of bits.
| |||||
| 281108 | Demodulation VIs show degraded BER performance at SNR < 15dB Some digital demodulation VIs, such as the MT Demodulate PSK, MT Demodulate QAM, MT Demodulate CPM, and MT Demodulate MSK VIs may exhibit BER performance that significantly deviates from the theoretical BER curves at SNR values less than 15 dB. Workaround: N/A

| 320449 | License manager unable to check out Modulation Toolkit license from certain packages in a volume license file If you purchase a bundle, such as ASL or DevSuite that includes the Modulation Toolkit, the license of Modulation Toolkit is not present in the list of licenses for that bundle. Hence, you will be unable to use the licensed version of Modulation Toolkit. Workaround: Use a local license for Modulation Toolkit.
| |||||
| 322185 | Missing files in NI Modulation Toolkit after upgrading LabVIEW and reinstalling Modulation Toolkit for the upgraded version If you upgrade to LabVIEW 2011 from LabVIEW 2010 and reinstall Modulation Toolkit for LabVIEW 2011, several example VIs and modulation toolkit companion DLLs are missing in the Modulation Toolkit for LabVIEW 2011. Workaround: After installing the latest version of LabVIEW, uninstall and reinstall Modulation Toolkit for the latest LabVIEW version, or install the Modulation Toolkit twice for the latest LabVIEW version.
