How to use the IQ Streaming API feature
This IQFlow™ feature allows you to access blocks of streaming IQ data to be used by your custom application. The
SignalVu-PC API does not perform any processing, but gives you access to the IQ data stream. The API commands enable
the IQ data blocks to be streamed to your custom program, which can then perform tasks such as custom processing, event
quali
fi
cation, and event warning. You can specify to send the IQ data block and/or the Trigger time stamp using an API
command. The Auxiliary data block is always available for retrieval. The
API
tab provides access to this streaming function.
This feature requires a RSA7100 with Option CUSTOM-API.
