Indoor use only.
Notice
Clean the hardware with a soft, nonmetallic brush or lint free
cloth. Make sure that the hardware is completely dry and free from
contaminants before returning it to service.
Note
Refer to the PXIe-5832 Specifications at
for
complete specifications.
Software Options
NI provides three software options for programming the PXIe-5832—RFmx, NI-RFSA
and NI-RFSG instrument driver software.

Description
Use Case
RFmx
Provides a single-handle
instrument driver with built-in
measurements.
You can use instrument driver
FPGA extensions to customize
the device FPGA using
precompiled bitfiles.
Use RFmx SpecAn to perform
spectral measurements.
Use RFmx Demod to perform
modulation quality
measurements, such as EVM.
Use RFmx personalities to
perform physical layer analysis
on supported communications
and connectivity signals.
NI-RFSA and NI-RFSG
instrument driver
The NI-RFSA and NI-RFSG APIs
each provide a fixed API for
interacting with your hardware.
NI-RFSA and NI-RFSG provide
standard IVI-based
functionality needed for most
vector signal analyzer and
vector signal generator
applications.
You can use NI-RFSA and
NI-RFSG instrument driver
FPGA extensions to customize
Use NI-RFSA to create custom
measurements or applications
that require I/Q data.
Use NI-RFSG to generate
continuous wave (CW) or
modulated waveforms.
Use NI-RFSA and NI-RFSG with
the NI Modulation Toolkit to
develop software-defined radio
transmitters and receivers.
Use NI-RFSG with the
NI Modulation Toolkit to create
