Programming the NI 5672
You can generate signals interactively using the NI-RFSG Soft Front Panel (SFP) or you can
use the NI-RFSG instrument driver to program your device in the supported ADE of your
choice.

NI-RFSG SFP controls, generates, and
presents data similar to stand-alone RF
vector signal generators. NI-RFSG SFP
operates on the PC, so it provides
additional processing, storage, and display
capabilities.

.
NI-RFSG configures and operates the
device hardware, performs waveform
programming and generation, and
performs basic modulation tasks using
LabVIEW VIs or LabWindows/CVI
functions. After you associate the modules
of the NI 5672 in MAX, NI-RFSG
operates the modules as a single
instrument.

NI-RFSG Examples
Examples demonstrate the functionality of the device and serve as programming models and
building blocks for your own applications. The NI Example Finder is a utility available for
some ADEs that organizes examples into categories and allows you to easily browse and
search installed examples. You can see descriptions and compatible hardware models for each
example or see all the examples compatible with one particular hardware model.
