GETTING STARTED GUIDE
NI PXIe-5624R
2 GS/s, 12-Bit IF Digitizer
Note
Before you begin, install and configure your chassis and controller.
This document explains how to install, configure, and test the NI PXIe-5624R (NI 5624R).
The NI 5624R is an IF digitizer with a user-programmable FPGA. The NI 5624R ships with
NI LabVIEW Instrument Design Libraries for IF Digitizers, which you can use to program the
device.
Programming the NI 5624R requires NI LabVIEW. Customizing the FPGA requires the
NI LabVIEW FPGA Module.
