PXI/PXIe

Refers to a PXI or PXI Express module.

PXI Express
compatible module

A PXI module compatible with existing PXI slots and PXI hybrid slots. 
PXI Express compatible modules maintain hardware and software 
compatibility, with the exception of local bus functionality.

RF

Radio Frequency—refers to the signal output from the RF OUTPUT 
connector on the NI RF signal generator device front panels.

upconverter

A device that frequency-translates IF signals to center around a specified 
RF frequency—refers to an NI 5610, 2-slot RF upconverter hardware 
module.

Your system must meet certain requirements to use NI RF vector signal 
generators. For more information about minimum system, recommended 
system, and supported application development environments (ADEs), 
refer to the NI-RFSG Instrument Driver Readme, which is available on the 
NI-RFSG CD. 

After you install NI-RFSG, you can access the NI-RFSG Instrument Driver 
Readme at Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-RFSG»
Documentation.

NI RF signal generator hardware modules ship in antistatic packages to 
prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Because ESD can 
damage several components of the NI RF signal generator, store all NI RF 
signal generator hardware modules in the antistatic envelopes when not 
in use.

Never touch exposed connector pins.

To avoid damage when handling NI RF signal generator hardware modules, 
take the following precautions:

•

Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by touching a grounded 
object.

•

Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis 
before removing the hardware module from the package.

Remove each hardware module from its package and inspect it

 

for loose 

components or any signs of damage. Notify NI if either hardware module
