Starting from left up to the "Stream Mapper", you can see the functional blocks provi-
ded in the baseband domain. After the stream mapper, the analog section contains the
digital to analog conversion and modulation to RF.
Legend Item Description
1 Status indicator Indicates whether the signal is running or waiting for a trigger.
2 Functional block Represents a basic task in signal generation.
The push button provides access to any number of associated
actions to accomplish the task.
The On/Off (checkbox) and the block label quickly activates the
basic task.
3 Control signal block Indicates information on the control signals like signal content,
input or output and provides quick access to the corresponding
configuration dialog.
A dedicated control block is displayed for each baseband (3a)
and RF block (3b).
4, 6 Signal lines (digital/ analog) Show the currently configured signal flow.
●
Thick lines represent the digital I/Q streams, see (4) in the
figure above
●
Thin lines represent the analog signals (6)
5 Graphics indicator Denotes that the signal is displayed graphically (5a /5b).
7 Connector icons Represent the interfaces for signal input and output.
●
RF signal connector output (7a); (icons vary depending on
the frequency)
●
Analog I/Q signal connector input (7b)
●
Analog I/Q signal connector output (7c)
●
Digital I/Q signal connector input (7d)
●
Digital I/Q signal connector output (7e)
8 Stream indicators Show the input streams at the I/Q stream mapper.
9 Stream status indicators Show the status of a stream (On/Off)
10 Stream indicators
Indicates the output streams that are routed to the correspond-
ing connectors, and the way the streams are internally pro-
cessed:
●
Single
One stream mapped on the connector (9a).
●
Add
More than one stream are routed to a connector (9b).
2.5.3.3 Taskbar
The "Taskbar" contains labeled softkeys and minimized views (thumbnails) of active
graphics and dialogs.
Initially, it shows the permanently assigned softkeys. The softkey with the sine wave
denotes that no signal is activated for graphical representation.
