NI-RFSA Soft panel with 5600 and 5124

[Naturalarch]

We bought a PXI system, with the following HW:

RF:
NI 5600 downconverter
NI 5124 Oscilloscope card

With this I want to use the softpanel of the RFSA (spectrum analyser), but it seems this cannot work because i cannot choose the scope card.
This because i can only choose a number for the digitizer device and not a name. I tried giving the NI-5124 a number and not a name, but this doesn't seem to work.

Is there an other way to still be able to use the Soft Front RFSA with this digitizer card?

Hello Joost,
The RFSA Demo Panel only supports the PXI-5660 RF Vector Signal Analyzer, which is a combination of the PXI-5600 RF downconverter and the PXI-5620 Digitizer. The Demo Panel doesn't support replacing the PXI-5620 with other digitizers.

Is it foreseen in the near future???

because I would like to have it, if possible in any case?

best regards

Hi Joost,
The RFSA Demo Panel will not be supporting any new devices in the forseeable future. If new analyzers are released in teh future, they will surely ship with tools to enhance ease of use, but the Demo Panel will continue to support the PXI-5660 exclusively (5600+5620).

Can you provide more detail on the functionality you are interested in? I will help you achieve this via other software if possible, and in any case will work with you to ensure you are successful.
