Note
Ensure that any connected external hardware is in an idle state and
not transmitting during self-calibration. It is not recommended to perform
self-calibration while connected in direct loopback configurations.
Note
For the best image rejection and LO leakage performance, it is
recommended that you run Self Cal or Self Cal Range for only the image
rejection and LO leakage portion if the temperature changes beyond ±1 °C.
Performing a Self-Calibration Using NI-RFSA
NI recommends you perform the self-calibration using the NI-RFSA example when
