I use PXI 5122 to capture signals from (2) channels 0-1.Channel One output of my device is 1Mhz and a adjacent channel should be very low signal due to cross talk. I use power spectrum VI but it does average power sprectrum. I would like to extract just the magnityude
at 1MHZ ( fundamental component od my output signal) in frequency domain.
Per attched graph, I want the different in dB between two signal 1 and 2. Instead of reading off the chart is there a way
to extract that single component magnitude. See attched VI and frontpanel for referecence.
Thanks for your help.

You can use Peak Detector.vi to find peaks in a signal. Better yet, use the Extract Multiple Tone Information.vi to get the power spectrum and a list of peaks in one operation. Extract Multiple Tone Information.vi will do a better job, since it does a peak fit and will return subsample accurate information.

Thanks for your reply. My output is a cluster I cannot wire to extract multitone info vi.
see attched vi (8.6).

I forgot to tell you that I already use this extract tone VI. But it give anplitude in volt which is not what I want.
I want to get the peak of the 1st hramonic in dB , from the power spectrum cluster as mention in the first post.
Thanks
