Remarks

The constellation definition includes a representation of ideal states (ConstellationStates), properties of the constellation as a whole, and methods supporting the creation and management of the constellation definition.

Example

This example shows you how to modify the constellation
C#Copy Code
//Select custom IQ measurement extension
var customIQDemod = app.Measurements.SelectedItem.SetMeasurementExtension<CustomIQ.MeasurementExtension>();
            
//Preset constellation to PSK 16
var constellation = customIQDemod.Constellation;
constellation.Preset(ConstellationStyle.Psk, 16);
            
//Add and modify a constellation state
var states = constellation.ConstellationStates;
var newState = states.Create();
newState.Real = 1.1;
newState.Imaginary = 1.1;
            
var anotherState = states.Create();
anotherState.Real = -1.1;
anotherState.Imaginary = -1.1;
                
//Check if the constellation is still valid
if(!constellation.Validate())
{
    string validateFailureReason = constellation.ValidationFailureDescription;
    //constellation is not valid
    //TODO: view validateFailureReason and fix it.
}
            
// ... Do other task on constellation
