4.10 Blockview Dialog
The "Blockview" dialog provides an overview of the configured signal routing settings.
It allows to:
●
display the current allocation of signal path resources to firmware applications
●
display the signal path configured for a firmware application
●
reconfigure the signal path of a firmware application
To open the dialog press the BLOCKVIEW key at the (soft-)front panel.
Fig. 4-23: Blockview dialog - Active Routing
The blockview dialog shows the most important hardware blocks relevant for RF and
baseband signal paths. If the instrument is split into several sub-instruments, the block-
view dialog displays only the resources assigned to the currently selected sub-instrument.
Displayed blocks (from left to right):
●
Baseband boards and signaling units
A generator instance is running on a baseband generator module, a measurement
instance on a baseband measurement module and a signaling application on a sig-
naling unit universal or wideband (SUU, SUW).
Each installed unit is represented by one block. If e.g. two generator modules are
installed, two blocks "BB Generator" are displayed. One block can be used by only
one firmware application at a time.
