NI-RFSG SFP Available from the Start menu
at
Start » All Programs »
National Instruments » NI-
RFSG » NI-RFSG Soft Front
Panel .
The NI-RFSG SFP controls, generates,
and presents data similar to stand-alone
RF signal generators. The NI-RFSG
SFP operates on the PC, so it provides
additional processing, storage, and
display capabilities.

Instrument Driver LabVIEW—Available on the
LabVIEW Functions palette at
Measurement I/O » NI-
RFSG .
NI-RFSG configures and operates the
device hardware, performs waveform
programming and generation, and
performs basic modulation tasks using
LabVIEW VIs or LabWindows/CVI
functions.
LabWindows/CVI—Available
at

NI-RFSG Examples
Examples demonstrate the functionality of the device and serve as programming models and
building blocks for your own applications. The NI Example Finder is a utility available for
some ADEs that organizes examples into categories and allows you to easily browse and
search installed examples. You can see descriptions and compatible hardware models for each
example or see all the examples compatible with one particular hardware model.
You can locate LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI examples with the NI Example Finder. Within
LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI, select
Help » Find Examples and navigate to Hardware
