I am doing a project on Advanced Harmonic Analyzer Measurement. I am using (NI PXI-8331, NI PXI-5152, NI PXI-5610,NI PXI-5441,NI PXI-5600,NI PXI-5142) as input. I also want to connect an external signal generator as input to the Harmonic Analyzer, I was wondering which measurement I/O blocks to be used (e.g. NI RFSA or NI FGEN or Ni RFSG) which are compatible with these devices for acquiring data from external hardware to PC Memory using LABVIEW.
Thanks in advance.

Sri,
The 5600 is coupled with the 5142. In this configuration you would use the RFSA driver to program it. If you just wanted to use the 5142 CH 0 or CH1 inputs as a scope on its own you would use NIScope driver. The 5610 coupled with the 5441 would use the RFSG driver to program it in that configuration. My best advice is to open the LabVIEW example finder >>Hardware Input and Output>>Modular instruments. There are a bunch of examples in there showing how you would use these instruments and there associated drivers.
Hope this helps.
The coupling of those instruments are also known as the 5661 and 5671.
