NI-USB-6002 / 1-10 GHz frequency and Labview

[mpg18]

Hello, 

I am looking to purchase Labview to do some signal processing, measurements, monitoring and control. I am working with 1-10 Ghz RF recorder and NI-USB-6002.

Which Labview version will support this?

Thanks

Just to clarify, LabVIEW is a programming language, in order to use an instrument you need the respective driver to use in the programming language.

For the USB-6002, it uses the DAQmx driver and any version of LabVIEW in the past decade with the appropriate DAQmx version will work.

As for your "1-10GHz RF Recorder", it is still unclear of the manufacturer, model, driver availability etc.,

USB-6002 and 1 - 10 GHz RF!!!!!!

That sounds not only like an oxymoron but like a clash of a black hole and a space ship. Only one of them will notice anything in the process. 😀

Unless you have some really serious high end hardware in between that does some frequency downconverting and signal conversion before you get some (almost) static analog signal, the USB-6002 will basically see simply nothing of your RF signal.

If you talked about the NI USRP devices instead, there would be some chance, but they stop at 6GHz input frequency.

The really important question here is what sort of intermediate hardware you use (supposedly your RF recorder). Use of the USB-6002 in combination with it may simply be a misunderstanding from your side and you would be better of to communicate directly with the RF recorder but how exactly that can be done would depend a lot on the make and model of said recorder.

As far as the USB-6002 is concerned, EVERY LabVIEW version since at least about 15 years will support use of it.
