threshold [dBc] specifies the level a spurious peak must exceed before this VI considers that peak as valid. You specify this threshold in dB relative to the fundamental tone amplitude. The value of threshold [dBc] should be less than 0.
If threshold [dBc] is greater than or equal to 0, this VI identifies only the single maximum spur, the length of detected peaks equals 1, and the index of the highest spur is 0. The default value of threshold [dBc] is Inf.
|
 |
error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs.
The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use exception control to treat what is normally an error as no error or to treat a warning as an error. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.
