AWR2243: 20Ghz LO power level measurements

Part Number: AWR2243

Hi, 

I am trying to measure the LO SYNCIN power levels on the MMWCAS EVM via the monitors. EVM has ES1.0 device.

I am using the API - ar1.SetRfPmClkLoIntAnaSignalsMonConfig_mult(device_map, 256, 0)

Below is what I am measuring for the 4 devices:

DeviceId [0] IntPMCLKLOAnalogSignalMonitoring: 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 8.0, 0, 4543229
DeviceId [1] IntPMCLKLOAnalogSignalMonitoring: 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 51.0, 0, 4510293
DeviceId [2] IntPMCLKLOAnalogSignalMonitoring: 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 51.0, 0, 4510392
DeviceId [3] IntPMCLKLOAnalogSignalMonitoring: 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 51.0, 0, 4510492

1) Do the above power values make sense ie the slaves are higher than the master ? 

2) In the ES1.1 (mmwave_dfp_02_02_02_01) there is another formula (shown below) for translating the metrics above to the actual power at the pin. I assume that this also applies for the ES1.0 (mmwave_dfp_02_02_00_03) based devices as well ? 

"SYNC_20G_POWER_dBm = SYNC_20G_POWER * 0.5dBm. The conversion factor for SYNC_IN power at BGA pin, Power_sync_in_bga_dbm = (0.85*SYNC_20G_POWER_dBm) – 10".

Thanks.
