Choosing and Installing the Software
Software Options
NI provides three software options for programming the PXIe-5840—NI-RFmx, NI-RFSA
and NI-RFSG instrument driver software.

Description Use Case
NI-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 NI-RFmx SpecAn to perform
spectral measurements.
Use NI-RFmx Demod to perform
modulation quality measurements, such
as EVM.
Use NI-RFmx personalities to perform
physical layer analysis on supported
cellular signals.
NI-RFSA and
NI-RFSG
instrument
driver The NI-RFSA and NI-RFSG APIs
each provide a fixed API for
interacting with your PXIe-5840
device.
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 the device
FPGA using precompiled bitfiles.
Use NI-RFSA to create custom
measurements or applications that
require I/Q data.
Use NI-RFSG to generate 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 and generate
modulated signals to test receivers.

Refer to the NI-RFmx SpecAn Help, the NI-RFmx Demod Help, the NI RF Vector Signal
Analyzers Help, or the NI RF Signal Generators Help for more information about using the
NI-RFmx, NI-RFSA, and NI-RFSG instrument driver FPGA extensions.
Installing the Software
You must be an Administrator to install NI software on your computer.
