PXIe-5673 Calibration Procedure
To calibrate the PXIe-5673, you must install NI-RFSG version 1.8 or later on the calibration
system. You can download the latest version of NI-RFSG at
ni.com/updates
.
NI-RFSG supports programming the calibration procedures in LabVIEW. Refer to Table 1 for
file locations.
Documentation
You might find the following documentation helpful as you write the calibration procedure:
•
PXIe-5673 Specifications
•
NI RF Signal Generators Getting Started Guide
•
NI RF Signal Generators Help,
including LabVIEW programming references
The latest versions of these documents are available on
ni.com/manuals
.
This calibration procedure calibrates the PXIe-5673 as a single device. To calibrate the
PXIe-5450 Waveform Generator, PXIe-5611 IQ Modulator, or PXI-5650/5651/5652 RF Analog
Signal Generator individually, refer to their calibration procedures at
ni.com/manuals
.
Calibration Interval
The measurement accuracy requirements of your application determine how often you should
calibrate your device. NI recommends that you perform a complete calibration for the
PXIe-5673 at least once a year. You can shorten this calibration interval based on the accuracy
demands of your application.
