[0]
W
rfPreAmp
1
0 = Turn off RF amp
1 = Turn on RF amp. This parameter is only valid
if autogain is off or autogain auto_ctrl_rf_amp is
off.
[1]
W
If2Filter
1
0 = Selects the IF2 filter #0
1 = Selects the IF2 filter #1 (custom option)
[2]
W
invertSpectrum
1
0 = Not spectral inversion
1 = IF3 spectrum inverted w.r.t RF
[3]
W
Bypass_rf_conversion
1
0 = RF is converted to IF
1 = RF is directed to the IF port (used for low
frequencies)
[7:4]
W

4
Set to zeros
[7:0]
R
Read back byte
8
Read 1 byte back is required for PXIe and RS232
Register 0x15 CONFIG_AUTO_GAIN
This register will configure the device to set the attenuator values and control the RF amplifier to
keep the device gain close to the desired gain with changes in RF frequency, as computed from its
input parameters such as RF input level, mixer level, and IF out level.
