Configuring the NI 5600 Downconverter and NI 5620 High Speed Digitizer Together as the NI 5660 RF Signal Analyzer Hardware: Modular Instruments>>High-Speed Digitizers (Scopes)>>PXI-5620, Modular Instruments>>RF Measurement Devices>>PXI-5600, Modular Instruments>>RF Measurement Devices>>PXI-5660
Problem: When I right-click on the NI 5600 Downconverter under Devices & Interfaces » NI-DAQmx Devices in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), the NI 5620 high speed digitizer does not appear in the list of digitizers to associate with the NI 5600. How do I associate the NI 5620 with the NI 5600? Solution: Because the NI 5620 is a Traditional NI-DAQ device, it will not appear under the list of associated digitizers when you right-click on your device under NI-DAQmx Devices in MAX. The proper way to configure the NI 5600 downconverter and the NI 5620 high speed digitizer as an NI-5660 RF signal analyzer is to initialize the individual devices together programmatically within LabVIEW using the NI 5660 VIs. The NI 5660 VIs can be found in LabVIEW within the Functions palette under Instrument I/O » Instrument Drivers » ni5660. The ni5660 Initialize VI has an input for downconverter device number and digitizer resource name. The downconverter device number specifies the number traditional NI-DAQ assigns to the NI 5600 downconverter in MAX. The digitizer resource name specifies the number traditional NI-DAQ assigns to the NI 5620 digitizer in the format DAQ::DeviceNumber. Refer to the following screenshot and the NI-RFSA shipping examples specific to the NI 5660 (such as ni5660 Demodulate AM VI) for how to program using the ni5660 Initialize VI.
