PXI Compatibility

[vk76]

Hi guys, I am knew on this type of simulation platform. I have the following equipment:

PXIe-1082, 8-Slot 3U PXI Express Chassis; NI PXI-5105, 8-ch, 60 MS/s Digitizer w/128 MB Onboard Memory; PXI-5412 100 MS/s, 14-Bit Arb with 8 MB; PXIe-8821, Win 7 (64-bit)

and I want to suggest me which of the following will work better by using the above mentioned equipment:

1. PXI-5691 8 GHz Programmable RF Amplifier Module 

2. a. PXIe-4610 & b. PXI-4022

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?  What frequency range are you trying to work with?

Thank you very much for your quick reply, our project focus on measuring fiber optics attenuation (we are going to send a variety of signals from the one  side of the fiber optic and from the other side we want to measure the attenuation as well as in which point of the fiber optic is the problem (distance from the signal generator). So, as I have already written we have the following equipment: 

- PXIe-1082, 8-Slot 3U PXI Express Chassis; NI PXI-5105, 8-ch, 60 MS/s Digitizer w/128 MB Onboard Memory; PXI-5412 100 MS/s, 14-Bit Arb with 8 MB; PXIe-8821, Win 7 (64-bit)

and we are thinking to buy:

1. PXI-5691 8 GHz Programmable RF Amplifier Module

2. a. PXIe-4610 & b. PXI-4022

So according to your professional experience the equipment that we want to buy is compatible to the one that we already have; as well as does it meets the standards of the experiment that we want to run? Please consult us regarding the equipment that you believe that we need buy in order to be compatible with the one that we have and run the experiment.
