Command Syntax

:SPRocessN:FFEQualizer:TAPS:NORMalize

Where N identifies one of up to 64 possible operators {1:64} that can be defined as part of a math function. The operators are numbered in the order that they were originally added to the function.

Description

Automatically adjusts the tap values of a Linear Equalizer operator (LFE) for a maximum equalizer gain of 0 dB (unity). The relative contributions of the tap values are maintained. Automatic tap configuration must be disabled (:SPRocess:FFEQualizer:TAPS:AUTo OFF).

For Reference Rx operator, what function do I send this command to?

If the FFE (Linear Equalizer) equalizer is a secondary function to the Reference Rx operator, address the :SPRocess:FFEQualizer:TAPS:NORMalize command to the Reference Rx function as identified in the following Reference Rx Setup dialog's operator diagram. In the following figure, this would be Function 2 and the command would be:

:SPRocess2:FFEQualizer:TAPS:NORMalize

Beginning with FlexDCA revision A.05.60, use of an *OPC? query to pause program execution while waiting for this command to execute.

The Linear Feedforward Equalizer operator is provided with the N1010A-201 Advanced Waveform Analysis license.
