IviPwrMeter Configure Duty Cycle Correction [DC]

IviPwrMeterDutyCycleCorrection Capability Group

This VI enables or disables the duty cycle correction and sets the duty cycle correction for pulse power measurements.

instrument handle The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviPwrMeter Initialize or IviPwrMeter Initialize With Options VIs.
channel name The name of the channel for which to specify the duty cycle correction.

Pass the virtual channel name that you assign to the instrument in the Configuration Utility.

Virtual channel names are aliases for instrument-specific channel strings. The instrument-specific channel strings can differ from one instrument to another. Virtual channel names allow you to use and swap instruments without having to change the channel names in your source code. You assign a virtual channel name to an instrument-specific channel through the Configuration Utility. This control accepts virtual channel names you have assigned to the specific instrument you are using. It also accepts the instrument-specific channel names.

Default Value: ""
correction enabled Enables or disables the duty cycle correction. The driver sets the IviPwrMeter>>Duty Cycle>>Duty Cycle Correction [DC]_ENABLED property to this value.

Valid Values:
TRUE - "On"
FALSE - "Off"

Default Value:
FALSE - "Off"
correction value Specifies the duty cycle correction the power meter uses to calculate the pulse power of a pulse-modulated signal. The driver sets the IviPwrMeter>>Duty Cycle>>Duty Cycle Correction [DC] property to this value.

The power meter measures the average power of the pulsed input signal and then divides the result by the duty cycle correction value to obtain a pulse power reading.

The value of this property is specified as a percentage.
For a pulse with a duty cycle of 10%, this property should be given the value 0.1.

Units: percentage ( % ).

Default Value: 100 %
error in (no error) The error in cluster can accept error information wired from VIs previously called. Use this information to decide if any functionality should be bypassed in the event of errors from other VIs.

The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.

instrument handle out The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviPwrMeter Initialize or IviPwrMeter Initialize With Options VIs.
error out The error out cluster passes error or warning information out of a VI to be used by other VIs.

The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.
