Select the Calibration button to view the current RF and IQ playback calibration parameters on the IQC5000.
Figure 49 Playback Calibration Dialog
There are 3 I/Q pairs which correspond to the playback modes for each channel:
 Channel 1 RF – I, Q
 Channel 1 IQ – I, Q
 Channel 2 IQ – I, Q
The I and Q for each playback mode are calibrated separately, res
ulting in a total of 6 items to calibrate. Each item
has 4 calibration parameters: DC offset, Full Scale Adjust, Phase Adjust, and Aux DAC Data.
Modifying Calibration Values
Each cell value can be modified by clicking in the cell and entering a
value within the column parameter value range,
automatically updating the IQC5000. Pressing the up and down arrows in the cell accomplishes the same thing; this
method works well for manually calibrating the unit.
To save all calibration values to the IQC5000, select Save to Fla
sh. The c
alibration values will not be saved to
nonvolatile memory unless they are saved to flash.
Importing/Exporting Calibration Values
To import saved calibration values, select Import and navigate to
the desired filepath. To export calibration values to
a configuration file, select Export and navigate to the desired file path.
To load the manufacturer calibration va
lues, import the default calibration file at:
%APPDATA%\XCOM\XCOMControl\config\IQCFlashConfig.xcfg.
