D.2 Elements in the Block Diagram
Functional blocks, signal lines, and status indicators in the graphical user interface
show the currently set configuration of signal generation in the baseband and in the RF
domain.
The following is an overview of the elements in the block diagram status, where they
appear and what they indicate. The elements are listed in the active state. When inac-
tive, they change color and possibly the label, or they are not displayed.
Functional Block
Represents a basic task in signal generation. A block contains an on/off switch and a
push button to access the associated settings dialogs.
"RF x" opens the RF block menu.
"Block" & "On" activate/deactivate the RF signal (toggle mode).
Control Signal Blocks
Represent the control signals in the baseband domain (see first icon), and in the RF
domain (2
nd
icon). A control block shows the signal content with letters and LEDs that
indicate signal input or output.
The LEDs indicate:
●
that the signal is available at the output connector.
●
that the signal source is internal.
Access to the corresponding connector dialogs.
Signal Lines
Connecting lines between the blocks and connectors show the currently configured
signal flow. Thick lines represent the digital I/Q streams and the thin lines the analog
signals.
Frequency Offset
A frequency offset is set for the baseband signal.
Access to the "Baseband Offsets" dialog.
Phase Offset
A phase offset is set for the baseband signal.
Access to the "Baseband Offsets" dialog.
Path Gain
A path gain is set for the baseband signal.
Access to the "Baseband Offsets" dialog.
Routing
Denotes merged baseband signals.
Access to the "Baseband Offsets" dialog
