  • PXIe-5655

Issue Details

The PXIe-5655 is generally used as an external LO assistance with the PXIe-5842 . The user wants to use the PXIe-5655 as an independent LO signal resource or signal generator  (without the PXIe-5842). Is this possible?

Solution

Currently, the RFSG soft panel does not support the standalone use of the PXIe-5655. Regarding LabVIEW code implementations, there is currently no explicit RFSG API to enable the PXIe-5655 to send signals via the LO1 Out port.
