Plugin Interfaces
Use the LabVIEW plugin interfaces to customize and adapt the mmWave OTA Validation Test
Reference Architecture for your testing environment. To enable the highest degree of
customization, NI provides the source code for the plugins. The following plugins are installed
with the mmWave OTA Validation Test Software.
•
Antenna Control
—An API framework that allows you to create a plugin to control your
specific active antenna module.
•
Positioner Control
—An API that allows you to use a different positioner with the
mmWave OTA Validation Anechoic Chamber. If your application requires a different
positioner, contact the NI services personnel contracted on your project for more
information about using this plugin.
Measurement Software
Use RFmx SpecAn and RFmx NR to control the instrumentation and configure 3GPP 5G NR
and spectrum measurements. The mmWave OTA Validation Test Software supports RFmx NR
