1. Master NI 5673E
2. Slave NI 5673E

Tip

 

Instead of using the naming convention shown in these figures, you may find it

convenient to name your devices in MAX to correspond to the slot number. This
approach allows you to easily locate each module.

When using the NI 5673E, each NI 5611 must have an LO source and an AWG module
associated with it. To configure the module association, complete the following steps:
1.

Right-click the master NI 5611 module and choose 

Configure

. The following figure

shows an example of the dialog box that appears.
