NCO enable / disable 

24 

When using the NCO, 

don’t forget to specify 

the 

type of modulation

Positive

 or 

negative

 refers to the position of the final signal compare to the LO 

position after the Iqmod. 

Upper

 and 

Lower

 refers to the position of the signal compare to the NCO position. 

 

When disabling the NCO, 

don’t forget to specify 

 

no modulation.
