Constellation

I and Q data are collected from the QAM front end and
displayed as a conventional constellation of 256 points by 256
points. The samples collected are not real time, so there is some
dwell (delay) before a complete constellation is displayed. The
persistence of the display can be varied using the Persist slider
control at the bottom of the graph.

MER and EVM calculations are performed on the constellation
data according to the formulas given in ETR290-101
