Recover the Demodulated Data

Question

Is it possible to overcome the memory limitation of FSE+FSE-B7 / FSIQ and to capture more than 16 k points via GPIB?

Answer

The internal memory of the vector demodulator is limited to 16 k points I/Q data. It is by no means possible to capture more than 16 k points at a time. A longer data stream can be created by concatenating 16 k packets in a PC but the resulting stream is no more continuous and cannot be used for BER measurements.
