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.
