Can the PXI-5412 use complex data without an OSP

[Ronayn]

Hello,

I have a PXI-5412 board.  I doesn't appear to have an onboard signal processor (OSP).  Can it use the niFgen_CreateWaveformComplexF64 function to generate a signal from user defined IQ data?

Thanks!

Hi Ronayn,

Because the PXI-5412 does not have an OSP, you are not able to use the niFgen_CreateWaveformComplexF64 function to generate a signal from user defined IQ data. The signal needs to be sent to the device as real data, not complex. There are some examples in the Modulation Toolkit (ie MT niFgen IQ Signal Generation_TClk.vi) that show ways of do this.
