Behavior Changes
The default value of the LO Sharing Enabled property has been changed to False.
RF blanking marker positions are written per waveform basis in TDMS.
Window length is different for OFDM signals. Refer to the OFDM Window Length (samples) property help topic for more information about windowing for OFDM signals.
The Guard Interval property is obsolete. Use the Guard Interval Type property instead.
LO sharing between multiple NI vector signal generators is enabled by default in the NI WLAN Generation Soft Front Panel.
The Carrier Frequency and Power Level properties are obsolete in toolkit version 3.0. Configure the corresponding NI-RFSG properties when using the NI WLAN Generation Toolkit with NI-RFSG.
Windowing is applied differently for OFDM signals. Refer to the Window Length property help topic for more information about windowing for OFDM signals.
The Max Expected PAPR property has been renamed to Headroom.
