API commands for controlling the N7600B Signal Studio graphical user interface are documented in the N7600B Documented Class Library (N7600API.chm). This help file is located in the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Keysight\Signal Studio\W-CDMA-HSPA+.
Many of the links in the 3GPP W-CDMA-HSPA API help require the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET integrated development environment (IDE) to work. Without the development environment, those links appear broken. After you obtain and download the IDE, the links will work.
Go to www.keysight.com/find/signalstudio for the latest software updates.
After the software is installed, it provides sample API programming files. You can use these samples as a starting point to develop your own API API programs using Microsoft® Visual C# .NET or a similar IDE application.
This software recognizes only US style numeric format, for example floating point is "."
This software recognizes only US style numeric format, for example floating point is "."
Set locale to . To set the API to "en-US," the following commands must be completed prior to starting the user main routine:
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US"); // Sets the culture to English (US)
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-US"); // Sets the UI culture to English (US)
You can see these culture setting commands in Main .cs located in the SimpleControl sample program.
The .NET Framework 4.x allows you to load pure managed assemblies built in any version of the .NET Framework. However, for some Signal Studio applications, API usage involves assemblies that are not pure .NET CLR. In these cases, you must configure your program (e.g. User_App.exe) to load .NET mixed-mode assemblies using the following steps:
Open a text editor.
Copy the following text into the text editor:
<?xml version ="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
Save this new configuration file in the same directory as User_App.exe. Name the file User_App.exe.config.
Re-launch User_App.exe.
