a fixed API for interacting with
your NI 5663E device.
NI-RFSA provides standard IVI-
based functionality needed for
most vector signal analyzer
applications.
Use NI-RFSA to create custom
measurements or applications that
require I/Q data.
Use NI-RFSA along with the
NI Modulation Toolkit to analyze
modulated signals to test receivers.
