Creating I/Q Data—Little Endian Order
On the documentation CD, this programming example’s name is
“Create_IQData_vb.txt.”
This Visual Basic programming example, using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, uses
little endian order data, and performs the following functions:
—error checking
— I an Q integer array creation
— I an Q data interleaving
— byte swapping to convert to big endian order
— binary data file storing to a PC or workstation
Once the file is created, you can download the file to the signal generator using
FTP (see “FTP Procedures” on page 231).
'******************************************************************
' Program Name: Create_IQData
' Program Description: This program creates a sine and cosine wave
using 200 I/Q data
' samples. Each I and Q value is represented by a 2 byte integer. The
sample points are
' calculated, scaled using the AMPLITUDE constant of 32767, and then
stored in an array
' named iq_data. The AMPLITUDE scaling allows for full range I/Q
modulator DAC values.
' Data must be in 2's complemant, MSB/LSB big-endian format. If your
PC uses LSB/MSB
' format, then the integer bytes must be swapped. This program
converts the integer
' array values to hex data types and then swaps the byte positions
before saving the
' data to the IQ_DataVB file.
