You have completed setup, configuration, and testing of the NI 5660 RF vector signal analyzer.
Rename Both Modules
MAX allows you to rename both NI 5660 hardware modules. The MAX name is used in software to
operate the NI 5660 hardware resources. You are not required to change the module names from the
default names assigned by MAX, but doing so can make your program more readable. If you do not wish
to rename the modules, proceed to the
Acquiring Data Interactively
section.
To rename both NI 5660 hardware modules, complete steps 1 through 7.
1.
Right-click
NI PXI-5600
and select
Rename
from the shortcut menu.
2.
Enter the new name for the NI 5600 module.
Note
The device name must consist only of alphanumeric and underscore characters.

Verify that the new names for both modules are displayed before proceeding to the next section.
Acquiring Data Interactively
To interactively acquire data and perform measurements with the RF vector signal analyzer, use the
included RFSA Demo Panel. The RFSA Demo Panel is accessible from within MAX at
Tools»
Soft Front Panels»NI5660 - RFSA Demo Panel
and from the Start menu at
Start»All Programs»
National Instruments»NI-RFSA»5660 Demo Panel
.
Tip
If an external signal source is not available, the signal from the 10 MHz OUT connector on the
NI 5600 RF downconverter module front panel can be used as a source to verify proper RF vector
signal analyzer installation and as a live signal for the RFSA Demo Panel. To use this signal, connect
the 10 MHz OUT connector of the NI 5600 module to the INPUT connector on the NI 5600 RF
downconverter module front panel.
The RFSA Demo Panel (shown in Figure 4) provides a convenient software interface with which
you can operate the RF vector signal analyzer hardware to perform common frequency-domain and
I/Q measurements.
Tip
Press <Ctrl-H> to view context-sensitive help for all RFSA Demo Panel controls and indicators.
