DAX I/Q questions

Hi there,

I just started to look at DAX I/Q in FlexLib with the intention to include it in xDAX if possible.

From this I have some simple questions:

- the data format is float normalized to +- 1.0 right?
- does DAX I/Q follows the convention left channel is I and right is Q?? Or for the interleaved data is it IQIQIQ or QIQIQI??
- what is the use the "capacity" and "available" properties?

Thanks and 73
Mario, DL3LSM

    Yes the data is float normalized to +/- 1.0. 
    Left channel is I and right channel is Q I believe so it should be interleaved in the payload as IQIQIQ

    There is a limit to how many IQ streams can stream. I believe capacity and available are supposed to reflect total capacity in "capacity" and available capacity in "available". Today we don't use these but they may be enforced later.

    Hi Ed,

    thanks.. I had it figured out over the weekend.. One correction though.. The IQ data inside the VITA packet is not float normalized to +/- 1.0 but to +/- 2^15 according to FlexLib and it seems to work if I use it like this..

    Thanks and 73
