NI PXI-5660 Getting Started Guide
2.
Insert the NI-RFSA disc into the appropriate drive and follow the instructions in the installation
window. You can choose to install
NI-RFSA 2.1
(NI PXI-5661 and NI PXIe-5663) and/or
NI PXI-5660 Support
.
(Windows Vista)
Users may see access and security messages during installation. Accept the
prompts to complete the installation.
Note
If the installation window. does not appear, navigate to the appropriate disk drive, and
double-click
setup.exe
.
3.
If you are using a system running the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, download NI-RFSA to the
target using Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). Refer to the
MAX Remote Systems Help
by selecting
Help»Help Topics»Remote Systems
in MAX for more information about using
MAX remote systems.
4.
When installation completes, remove the driver software disc.
Note
You
must
install the driver software before installing the Spectral Measurements Toolkit.
5.
Insert the Spectral Measurements Toolkit CD.
6.
Install the Spectral Measurements Toolkit for the ADE you intend to use. Follow instructions in the
installation window.
7.
When the installation completes, remove the Spectral Measurements Toolkit CD.
Note
For full functionality, you
must
install the Spectral Measurements Toolkit packaged with the
RF vector signal analyzer. The Spectral Measurements Toolkit extends the capability of the RF vector
signal analyzer to include frequency- and modulation-domain measurements and analysis of
analog-modulated IF signals.
8.
Install any additional software that you intend to use with the RF vector signal analyzer after
installing the driver software and the Spectral Measurements Toolkit.
Note
If toolkits or other software that you intend to use with the RF device were installed before
you installed the driver software, repeat or repair those installations after installing the driver
software and the Spectral Measurements Toolkit.
Note
The Spectral Measurements Toolkit includes examples for analog modulation and
demodulation. The Modulation Toolkit includes digital modulation and demodulation measurement
functions. Both toolkits may be included in your RF vector signal analyzer shipping kit. You can also
purchase and install the NI Modulation Toolkit at
ni.com
. Install NI PXI-5660 Support and the
Spectral Measurements Toolkit before installing the Modulation Toolkit.
5. Installing the NI 5660
The NI 5660 modules are available in the PXI form factor. Installation of the NI 5660 RF vector signal
analyzer hardware modules requires four vacant PXI (or hybrid) slots—three slots for the NI 5600 RF
downconverter module and one slot for the NI 5620 IF digitizer module. The NI 5620 must be installed
in the slot
immediately
to the right of the NI 5600 to allow for the use of the included coaxial cables.
Note
You must install NI PXI-5660 Support before installing the hardware.
Installing the NI 5600 RF Downconverter Module
To install the NI 5600 module, complete steps 1 through 10 in the
section.
Note
The NI 5600 onboard frequency reference can drive the PXI backplane clock
only
if the
RF downconverter module is installed in PXI Slot 2. When the NI 5600 is installed in PXI Slot 2, you
can configure it to lock the PXI backplane clock to the highly accurate and stable NI 5600 onboard
