Good afternoon Eduardo,

You should be able to use the NI-Tuner VIs to lower your desired frequency from 70MHz to 10MHz.  There are a few examples available to give you a good idea of the general NI-Tuner programming flow.  You can find these by going to Start > Programs > National Instruments > NI-TUNER > Examples.

You can also have a look at the VIs by going to:
All Functions > Instrument I/O > Instrument Drivers > NI Tuner. 

You didn't specify the span required but the NITuner Getting Started.vi should show you how to control both the frequency and span via the niTuner Set Frequency.vi

The NI-Tuner Reference Help is a great resource for using your 5600, and is located at Start > Programs > National Instruments > NI-TUNER > Documentation

Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this issue.

Sincerely,

Where can I get NI-TUNER?

or

on which CD?  We get a CD book from NI.

Good afternoon Eduardo,

If you install the RFSA/RFSG software, than NI TUNER is automatically installed. 

You can locate it by right-clicking on the block diagram and going to

Instrument I/O > Instrument Drivers > NiTuner.

The RFSA/RFSG drivers can be found right here:
