Waveform Plot

Click Generate or Generate and Download from the main tool bar to generate an I/Q waveform and plot four different waveform graphs (Power, I+Q, I/Q, and Spectrum) in accordance with the current channel configuration. Any changes to the channel configuration do not appear on the graph until you generate the waveform. The status bar at the bottom of the screen shows waveform generation progress.

Power plot shows the cumulative power of the carrier configuration. When you select the function as the Multiple Antennae (Mx2 in simulating mode), the two tabs appear to enable you choose to display the signal power on the antenna 0 or antenna 1.

Click this button to select from the list of four different waveform plot styles. Selections include Power (shown above), ClosedI+Q, ClosedI|Q, and ClosedSpectrum. Click the arrow to access a drop-down menu where you can make a direct selection. Clicking the button selects the next plot type in the list without displaying the menu.

I+Q plot shows the I and Q components overlayed.

I/Q plot shows the individual I and Q components.

Spectrum displays a composite of all the carriers.

The x axis displays the number of sample points. If the sample points exceed 1M, then only the first 1M points are shown.

The CCDF, Waveform, and Power Envelope graphs are minimized in the Waveform Setup node's initial view. To view the graphs, click and drag above the CCDF, Waveform, and Power Envelope tabs.
