Usage
The following is a basic example of using the nirfsa module to open a session to an RF Signal Analyzer and perform a spectrum acquisition.
import nirfsa
# Configure the session
with nirfsa.Session(resource_name='5841', id_query=False, reset_device=False, options='Simulate=1, DriverSetup=Model:5841') as rfsa_session:
rfsa_session.acquisition_type = nirfsa.AcquisitionType.IQ
rfsa_session.reference_level = -10
rfsa_session.iq_carrier_frequency = 1e9
iq_data_array = np.zeros(1024, dtype=np.complex128)
wfm_info = rfsa_session.read_iq_single_record_into(iq_data_array)
# Perform measurements...Other usage examples can be found on GitHub. .. _support-section:
