Hello Yu Ching,

You are correct, there is no direct channel power measurement in the API. You will need to calculate it. The most typical way this is performed is by either integrating the frequency bins of a sweep (in power units) or averaging the power of an IQ waveform. LabVIEW might have these measurements available in the signal processing or related libraries.

I will attach the pseudo-code for the sweep method. This is pulled from Spike.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Regards,
Andrew
