1150182 ViReal64 RO None None

Description

Returns the amplitude extender module temperature in degrees Celsius.

Units: degrees Celsius (°C)

Supported Devices: PXIe-5654 with PXIe-5696

NIRFSG_ATTR_ARB_TEMPERATURE

Numeric Value Data
type
Access Coercion High Level Functions
1150068 ViReal64 RO None None

Description

Returns the AWG module temperature in degrees Celsius.

PXIe-5820/5840/5841: If you query this attribute during RF list mode, list steps may take longer to complete during list execution.

Units: degrees Celsius (°C)

Supported Devices: PXI-5670/5671, PXIe-5672/5673/5673E, PXIe-5820/5840/5841

NIRFSG_ATTR_DEVICE_TEMPERATURE

Numeric Value Data
type
Access Coercion High Level Functions
1150017 ViReal64 RO None None

Description

Returns the device temperature. If the NI-RFSG session is controlling multiple devices, this attribute returns the temperature of the primary NI RF device. The NI-RFSG session is opened using the primary RF device name.

Serial signals between the sensor and the system control unit could modulate the signal being generated, thus causing phase spurs. After the device thoroughly warms up, its temperature varies only slightly (less than 1 degree Celsius) and slowly, and it is not necessary to constantly poll this temperature sensor.

PXIe-5644/5645/5646, PXIe-5820/5840/5841: If you query this attribute during RF list mode, list steps may take longer to complete during list execution.

PXIe-5830/5831/5832: To use this attribute, you must first set the channelName parameter of the niRFSG_SetAttributeViReal64 function to using the appropriate string for your instrument configuration. Setting the niRFSG_SetAttributeViReal64 function is not required for the PXIe-3621/3622. Refer to the following table to determine which strings are valid for your configuration.

Hardware Module TRX Port Type Active Channel String

NIRFSG_ATTR_FPGA_TEMPERATURE

Numeric Value Data
type
Access Coercion High Level Functions
1150211 ViReal64 RO None None

Description

Returns the FPGA temperature in degrees Celsius.

Serial signals between the sensor and the system control unit can potentially modulate the signal being generated, thus causing phase spurs. After the device thoroughly warms up, its temperature varies only slightly (less than 1 degree Celsius) and slowly, and it is not necessary to constantly poll this temperature sensor.

Note Note  If you query this attribute during RF list mode, list steps may take longer to complete during list execution.

1150075 ViReal64 RO None None

Description

Returns the LO module temperature in degrees Celsius.

PXIe-5840/5841: If you query this attribute during RF list mode, list steps may take longer to complete during list execution.

Units: degrees Celsius (°C)

Supported Devices: PXIe-5673/5673E, PXIe-5840/5841

NIRFSG_ATTR_MODULE_POWER_CONSUMPTION

Numeric Value Data
type
Access Coercion High Level Functions
1150210 ViReal64 RO None None

Description

Returns the total power consumption of the device.

Note Note  If you query this attribute during RF list mode, list steps may take longer to complete during list execution.

NIRFSG_ATTR_MODULE_REVISION

Numeric Value Data
type
Access Coercion High Level Functions
1150084 ViString RO None None

Description

Returns the module revision letter. If the NI-RFSG session is controlling multiple modules, this attribute returns the revision letter of the primary RF module. The NI-RFSG session is opened using the primary RF device name.

Supported Devices: PXIe-5611, PXIe-5644/5645/5646, PXI/PXIe-5650/5651/5652, PXIe-5653/5654/5654 with PXIe-5696, PXIe-5673/5673E, PXIe-5820/5830/5831/5832/5840/5841
