Bbconfigurecenterspan - Signal Hound BB60C Programmer's Reference Manual

The verticalScale parameter will change the units of returned sweeps. If BB_LOG_SCALE is provided
sweeps will be returned in amplitude unit dBm. If BB_LIN_SCALE is return, the returned units will be in
milli-volts. If the full scale units are specified, no corrections are applied to the data and amplitudes are
taken directly from the full scale input.
Return Values
bbNoError
bbDeviceNotOpenErr
bbInvalidDetectorErr
bbInvalidScaleErr

bbConfigureCenterSpan

Change the center and span frequencies
bbStatus bbConfigureCenterSpan(int device, double center, double span);
Parameters
device
center
span
Description
This function configures the operating frequency band of the broadband device. Start and stop
frequencies can be determined from the center and span.
- start = center – (span / 2)
- stop = center + (span / 2)
The values provided are used by the device during initialization and a more precise start frequency is
returned after initiation. Refer to the
Each device has a specified operational frequency range. These limits are
. The center and span provided cannot specify a sweep outside of this range.
BB#_MAX_FREQ
There is also an absolute minimum operating span of 20 Hz, but 200kHz is a suggested minimum.
Certain modes of operation have specific frequency range limits. Those mode dependent limits are
tested against during
bbInitiate()
Return Values
bbNoError
bbDeviceNotOpenErr
bbInvalidSpanErr
bbFrequencyRangeErr
