for (int i=0; i<SAMPLES; ++i)
{
iqData[2*i] = AMPLITUDE * sin(two_pi*i/(float)SAMPLES);
iqData[2*i+1] = AMPLITUDE * cos(two_pi*i/(float)SAMPLES);
}
// make sure bytes are in the order MSB(most significant byte) first. (PC only).
char* cptr = (char*)iqData;// cast the integer values to characters
for (int i=0; i<(4*SAMPLES); i+=2)// 4*SAMPLES
{
char temp = cptr[i];// swap LSB and MSB bytes
cptr[i]=cptr[i+1];
cptr[i+1]=temp;
}
// now write the buffer to a file
out_stream.write((char*)iqData, 4*SAMPLES);
return 0;
}
Creating and Downloading I/Q Data—Big and Little Endian Order
On the documentation CD, this programming example’s name is “CreateDwnLd_Data_c++.txt.”
This C++ programming example (compiled using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0) performs the following
functions:
• error checking
• data creation
• data scaling
• text file creation for viewing and debugging data
• byte swapping and interleaving for little endian order data
• interleaving for big endian order data
• data saving to an array (data block)
• data block download to the signal generator
// This C++ program is an example of creating and scaling
// I and Q data, and then downloading the data into the
// signal generator as an interleaved I/Q file.
// This example uses a sine and cosine wave as the I/Q
// data.
//
// Include the standard headers for SICL programming
