Is there any limitation for PXI 5670 to generate QPSK signal?

Hi,
I would like to select PXI 5670 to generate the QPSK signal in my system. How does is it make the QPSK modulation?As I understand, QPSK modulation would need to have two AWG to generate the I and Q signal. See below:
But PXI 5670 only integrated one AWG (PXI 5421). So how does it make the QPSK modulation? 
Do I need to download the user−specified baseband IQ waveform into the memory first,then playback it to generate the IQ signal and then upconvert it to the desired QPSK signal? if yes, the playback time will be limited by the onboard memory size. Even if I select the one of 256 MB of onboard memory , it can only 1.28 seconds of waveform data at the default sample clock rate of 100 MS/s.  Does it means the QPSK signal can only apear within 1.28 seconds? That's definitely not enough for me.
I am not sure if my understanding is correct or not. Any reply is appreciated.
BR,

Hello Ivan.Chen,
This is correct given the PXIe-5611 performs the complex modulation and direct upconversion in the physical analog domain. Typically, you will still be generating your waveform in software based upon I and Q however. The real I waveform will be generated on channel 0, and the real Q waveform will be generated on channel 1. The I and Q analog waveforms will then be modulated in a quadrature fashion and generated at the appropriate RF frequency.
The fundamental difference between the PXI-5670 and PXIe-5673 is that your the PXI-5670 eventually needs to received a waveform at full rate (100 MS/s) which has already been complex modulated while the PXIe-5673 only requires two real waveforms, I & Q, which can be at streamed to the device at a decimated rate since the onboard signal processing supports interpolation. This allows the PXIe-5673 to be an ideal streaming platform. It is also much faster in regards to tuning, and is capable of a 4x instantaneous bandwidth improvement - the PXI-5670 is 20 MHz, while the PXIe-5673 is > 100 MHz in bandwidth.
Check out the specifications for the PXIe-5673 for more detail on the overall device, as well as the PXIe-5450 specifications for more detail on the onboard signal processing capabilities.

  • Alert Rules vs Alert Category - Is there any limitations for multiple rules

    I have an alert configuration implemented already and i want to add few more rules for the same alert category.  While creating the rules for new set of scenarios, I am able to create only one rule . Is there any limitations for having the rules per category ?

    Hi,
    If the Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule checkbox is selected (default setting), then no further alerts are generated once the rule has been met until the first alert has been confirmed.
    There is no limitation of creating alert rule for a particular alert category.
    Check out the steps of Alert rule configuration.
    Creating Alert Rules
    To create an alert rule in which you use a defined alert category, proceed as follows:
           1.      Give the rule a name (Description).
           2.      Select the alert category that you want to use by clicking the corresponding category in the alert category table.
           3.      If necessary, specify conditions for the sender or receiver, or both.
    ○       If your rule results in alerts that must be assigned to a specific message, select the option Yes for the Bound to Message condition.
    ○       If your rule results in alerts that are not assigned to a message, that is, they are caused by errors that occurred before the message was sent, select the option No for the Bound to Message condition.
    In this case you cannot enter any further details about the sender or receiver.
    ○       If the rule is to cover both cases, select the Not Relevant option.
           4.      If required, restrict the errors further to:
    ○       Errors reported from the Integration Engine (with or without error category or error code)
    ○       Errors reported from the Adapter Engine (with or without adapter type)
    You can enter an asterisk (*) in steps 3 and 4. You can enter just the asterisk, or enter it at the start, end, or start and end of a string.
           5.      To add the new rule to the list of alert rules, choose Add Rule.
    If the Rule Activated check box is selected (default setting), the rule is automatically activated when you add it and is displayed as active.
    If the Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule checkbox is selected (default setting), then no further alerts are generated once the rule has been met until the first alert has been confirmed.
    Once you have created a rule, it is automatically displayed in the list of alert rules. If you want to display the conditions of a rule, select a rule in the list and choose Show Conditions.
    Hope this will help you.

    IIn which case, ensure all your masters are "referenced" in Aperture, and that you then go to Options in the Lightroom import box and import photos in their existing locations.

  • Is there any limitation of memory uses for apps in iPad2 or iPad3 ?

    Hi,
       Is there any limitation of memory uses for apps in ipad2 or ipad3 .For example an application can use 10% or 20% of available memory , is there anything like that or the apps can use the total available memory or like 90% of it ?
    I want to know about the memory distribution to the apps in ios .
    Would anyone suggest a right way ?

  • Creation of logic group - any limitation for the Criteria Value Field?

    I am trying to create simple logic groups in FDM (version 11.1.1.3 and 11.1.2.1). However, an error message displayed in the information bar.
    Error: Error adding new record.
    Detail: Data access error.
    I clicked the "Add" button and created a logic group which contains *1,520* non-sequential source accounts in the Criteria Value Field (with In operator).
    I have separated these source accounts with a comma and no spaces in between them. (Note: Operator = x, Value/Exp = 1, Seq = 0) I updated the grid. Then, the error message was displayed and the logic group creation was failed.
    And then, I created a new logic group which contains only *100* non-sequential source accounts in the Criteria Value Field (with In operator).
    I also separated them with a comma, no spaces and same setting. I updated the grid. And the logic group was added successfully.
    Each source account contains 10 characters (alphabet and/or number).
    I want to ask:
    1. Is there any limitation in specifying source accounts (i.e.. no more than certain number of source accounts for each logic group) in the Criteria Value Field when creating simple logic group?
    2. I am adding these logic groups by clicking the "Add" button one by one, is there faster way to do it (i.e.. upload an excel or csv file or source accounts specified)?
    Thank you very much!

    Thank you Expert for your reply!
    I would like to ask about loading the Logic Accounts with the template.
    As instructed, I exported the excel out for the template format and updated the template with new Logic Accounts. Then, I imported the excel file in the "Import XLS" section under Tools. The excel file was uploaded successfully. (Note: I am using excel 2010 and saved it as .xls file)
    However, there is no changes in the Logic Accounts and seem no updates was made.
    I want to ask:
    1. Did I import the excel at the right location (i.e. "Import XLS" section under Tools)?
    2. Is there anything else I need to do after the file has been imported (i.e. delete the existing logic accounts or click another button(?) for this change) so the new list of logic accounts would become effective?
    I would like to use excel to maintain my list of logic accounts for better control in the future.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Is there any limitation on field size that can be defined in Idoc segments

    Hi all,
    I have extended a standard Idoc type and in my extended segment I have defined four fields GUID (char32), info1 (char255) , info2(char255) , info3(char255).
    This is a total of 797 bits which is well within EDIDD-sdata(char1000). But I am not able to put more than 132 characters in either info1, 2 or 3.
    Is there any limitation on this ?
    Regards
    Priyanka

    Hi Priyanka,
    I personally feel this error is not due to limitations but it might be due to the IDOC extension you had made and hence the default settings.
    Could you please try doing this -
    Note: Users require an authorization in order to carry out the procedure.
    The following correction is carried out with a fictitious attribute: 'info'.
    a) Call Transaction SE11.
    b) Enter the attribute name into the 'Domain' field, followed by '' (wildcard). For example: info
    c) The system displays the following hit list:
    info1
    info2
    info3
    d) Select the first domain and choose 'Change'
    e) Correct the number of characters. Forexample:
    Numberof characters   255
    f) Activate this domain
    Assign points in case this helps.

  • Is there any limitation of nested select.

    Is there any limitation of nested select.If yes please let me know.

    Hi,
    There are no practical limits to nested SELECTs, but as other repliers have already pointed out they quickly become a performance hog. I have stopped using them for years, and when I teach ABAP performance classes I also quote them as one of the top "don'ts". With nested selects, the number of calls to the DBMS can easily become enormous, putting the database server under stress.
    A good alternative - the one I favour most myself - is to use SELECT INTO TABLE for the"outer" select, followed by appropriate SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statements to handle the inner levels.
    ABAP joins are another alternative. When properly written, a join will be faster than a nested select. The problem is however that very often joins are not properly written. SELECT statements should always respect the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid) and with a join it is very easy to violate that rule. A join over 2 tables should probably be OK, but with 3 or more tables you want to be very careful. If you really want to code a complex join, I recommend that you also code the same logic with different means (INTO TABLE/FOR ALL ENTRIES or even nested selects) and then compare that with the join. By the way: don't just compare the performance, also make sure that the two return the same data. You wouldn't be the first to code a really fast join which unfortunately returns incorrect results.

  • Is there any limitation in xtract structure,while doing enhancement.

    is there any limitation in xtract structure, while doing enhancement.

    Hello Satish
    There is no limitation as such defined by SAP but let me teel you one thing, if your extract structure contains a lot of enhancement than it s better you go for using two extractor and then use Multiprovider for viewing all the data....basically when you enhance structure you customer exits which slower down the performence....
    For example you have 0FI_GL_4 extructure and want to see the payment detail by some SD attributes like sales office divisoion..bla bla bla...if small enhancement is there you can include these field in 0FI_GL_4 extract structure but if it is significant than you should create another extractor for getting SD related data and merge them in BW side in Multiprovider
    Thanks

    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

  • I have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

    i have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?

    Try this:
    Open the "Find my iPhone" app on your iPad, fill in your AppleID and password at the start up screen, and you should see a list of all your devices and their current location, if connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile data network. Devices not connected will be shown as "offline". But you can still trap on the icon and hit "erase iPhone" in the right hand window.
    If your iPhone is not listed, you did not activate this feature during the setup of the phone and it can't be erased remotely.
    If the phone is listed, even as offline, tap on "erase" to send the erase command. The next time your device will be connected to any kind of network, the content will be erased.

  • I accidentally formatted my portable hard drive when setting it up for time machine. Is there any way for me to get back my lost files?

    I have an external hard drive of the brand Western Digital.
    Before I got my iMac I moved a lot of my important files from my PC to the hard drive and today I went on and connected it to my iMac to move my files over to it.
    When it had connected a window popped up that asked if I wanted to use this hard drive with the program Time Machine and create backups. Without thinking it trough enough and reading the warning properly (I'm stupid I know) I clicked "yes". I then realised how stupid it was and cancelled the formatting of the hard drive. But somehow the program still managed to delete all my important files and can't find any way to get them back. Neither can I connect the hard drive to my PC anymore so I can't check if the files are still there (which I doubt they are since I can't see them on my iMac either).
    And now I wonder: is there any way for me to get back my lost files or are they lost forever?
    Thank you in advance!

    A data recovery specialist or some data recovery programs should be able to help.  Most format simply rewrite the directory tree saying no files are on this disk.  The bits that represent the files are still flipped appropreiately so they still exists, you just don't have the location info to get at them.  Secure formats and erases rewrite each bit to a zero or 1 or random so the data is then truely gone.  This type of format takes a long time to complete.
    I'm not making a recomendation of a particular program but here is one company that does what you ask:
    http://www.remosoftware.com/mac-recovery  The cost is pretty high but I'm sure they don't sell many copies and need to cover their development costs.
    Good luck and don't write anything on the freshly formatted disk until you decide what to do.
