National Instruments NI 5670, NI 5671, NI 5672, RF Signal Generator 8. Setting up Synchronization for NI-DAQmx Devices in MAX, 9. Programming the RF Signal Generator

4. Click Stop to stop waveform generation.

5. Click Close to return to MAX.

6. Exit MAX.

You have completed setup, configuration, and testing of the

NI 5650/5651/5652 RF Signal Generator.

8. Setting up Synchronization for NI-DAQmx Devices in MAX

If you plan to share triggers or clocks to synchronize NI-DAQmx devices,

you must identify or configure certain components in MAX.

Note The following steps are required for any type of synchronization involving an

NI-DAQmx device.

♦PXI devices—identify the PXI system controller by completing the

following steps:

1. In the MAX configuration tree under Devices and Interfaces,

right-click PXI System»Identify As and select your controller from

the list. For example, select External PC if you are using a MXI-3 or

MXI-4 controller in an external PC.

2. Expand the PXI System tree and select the chassis name to identify the

chassis you are using.

♦PXI Express devices controlled via MXI-Express—in the MAX

configuration tree under Devices and Interfaces, right-click PXI

System»Identify As and select External PC. Your chassis will be

automatically identified.

♦PXI Express controller—a PXI Express controller installed in a PXI

Express chassis is automatically identified in MAX.

9. Programming the RF Signal Generator

You can generate signals with the NI RF signal generator using the

NI-RFSG instrument driver. You also can run the NI-RFSG examples

to demonstrate the functionality of the NI RF signal generator.
