daughter Interface PXI 5600 antennas

I have 5600 PXI in my lab. Our laboratory is not Labview antennas, but there no Ettus USRP and its branches. I can choose to buy antennas labvview or I can save cost in interfacing with PXI-5600 Ettus USRP antennas that are already available in the laboratory of the University?

Hi Sabe,

Ettus USRP antennas should be able to be used with PXI-5600. However, you will need to check the documentation and specifications of the antenna to see if it will work with your application. You can keep in mind that antennas work best at specific frequencies than in others, and such information must be given in the documentation. Let me know if you have any additional questions, please!

Kind regards

  • OR PXI-5600 buck converter of frequencies only

    Hello

    I want to use the PXI-5600 as only a step-down converter of frequencies with the PCI-5640R IF Transceiver card as a digitizer. Can someone help me that how to use or PXI-5600 downconvert mode only (without running a digitizer PXI-5620 or PXI-5142 in the PXI chassis). I found different examples in which NI PXI-5600 is effectively used as PXI-5660 (5600 as a step-down converter frequency and 5620 as a digitizer) and PXI-5661 (5600 as a step-down converter frequency and 5142 as a digitizer) but I want to use the PXI-5600 only downconvert the Rf signal, which then will be fed to the PCI-5640R map.

    Hello

    If you download and install the latest version of NOR-DAMA, a sample installed in the \examples\instr\niRFSA folder usual title DAMA step-down with external digitizer. This illustrates how to program a PXI-5600 as a standalone device using the driver NOR-DAMA.

    As a story - OR-DAMA 2.1 and on will have support for fashion "Buck converter of frequencies only" use the PXI-5600.

    Looks like you want to use published network variable brightness.  You can find this information here http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4679 , but basically, you need to do a LabVIEW on each computer you want to Exchange data between and linking the shared variable between them.  At this point you can transfer data from one machine to the other via the LAN to write to a file and view in the User Interface.

    I understand
    Vector signal analyzers OR consist of 2 or 3 separate PXI modules: 1

    1. can I use digitizer and signal
    generator general purpose oscilloscope and generator of signals separately?

    2 may I build my own VSA by choosing
    different combinations of scanners and the signal generators? Or replace the signal
    generator by an arbitrary signal generator?

    3.       I
    intend to buy a digitizer/oscilloscope and an arbitrary signal generator
    analysis of response of frequency on the transformers. Later I plan to
    buy a step-down converter frequency and build a vector signal Analyzer. Is this possible?

    Hello

    The frequency IF the 5660 and 5661 (it's the same thing) is 15 MHz, with an instantaneous bandwidth of 20 MHz. The difference between the 5660 and the 5661 is located in the digitizer that accompanies it. The 5660 uses the PXI-5620 digitizer that has a sampling rate 64 MECH. / s and a buck converter of digital frequency limited to 1.25 MHz of bandwidth. The 5661 uses the digitizer PXI-5142, giving you a MECH 100. / s rate and a PSO allowing digital downconversion circuit and the decimation of the full bandwidth of 20 MHz.

    The common comment in the SBA above is the RF PXI-5600 frequency step-down converter which is a superheterodyne architecture of three floors. OL is for the three stages of this module are auto-approvisionnées in their own country. The architecture of several step allows for rejection of the improved image and filtering at the expensive of a noise floor slightly higher due to the signal path more complex. There also an OCXO on board, this gives him a time reference more precise - noise reduction phase etc. The PXI-5600 by itself is wide from three locations.

    The SMU-5601 since SMU-5663 step-down is designed based on the single frequency step-down converter and resumes from a single location. The celled frequency step-down converter gives you improved noise floor characteristics and a better dynamic range, with the rejection of the image fees, having does not simply because there is only one step. The LO is provided by an external module in this case for several reasons. Have a separate external LO allows more modularity in your system, as well as the ability to share a single LO generator between several vendor-specific attributes. This opens the possibility of MIMO applications. The internal of the NI PXI-5600 LOs are not shareable and therefore cannot be synchronized between several PXI-5600 s. The PXI-5663 (all three modules) takes up the same amount of space in the slot as a single NI PXI-5600 without a digitizer.

    The PXI-5154 is indeed a powerful scanner, given its instantaneous bandwidth of 1 GHz. Remember, however, that the connector Active Directory on this digitizer is 8 bits, compared to the 5622 which is 16-bit. If you need more resolution is of course entirely depends on your application. The PXI-5600, as SMU-5601 is controllable as a buck converter stand-alone frequency using the DAMA API OR. You will need to program your application with the scope API for use with PXI-5154 OR and the API de DAMA. A few other caveats to note is that there is no PSO on the PXI-5154 so you can't enjoy the Equalization filter to correct the frequency of the NI PXI-5600 response. Also, as I mentioned above, the frequency of YEW of the NI PXI-5600 has 15 MHz with a bandwidth of 20 MHz - processor 1 GHz bandwidth on your digitizer will be somewhat of an overdose of the IF signal.

    While you're dead on with the advantage of modularity, I would take the time to really meet your search application and ensure that different choices of module and their combinations to meet these needs.

    Hope that helps!

  • Remote access for PXI with DAQmx

    I have a PXI chassis with a real-time embedded (PXI-8186) controller and some modules DAQ (PXI-6259) x 2. I've been programming this via LabWindows with a kind of client-server of RT - UI thing by using network variables and others. For some applications, it would be enough and more convenient to be able to interact with the PXI hardware directly from a connected PC network DAQ.

    The controller running a VISA server, it seems that I could connect to a remote machine with a kind of viOpen ("visa://pxi.somewhere.com//PXI0::15:INSTR"); ") and then contact a particular data acquisition card. But I can't find any information on the programming of the 6259 in any way other than DAQmx or similar.

    First question then: is the interface PXI - 6259 VISA described anywhere?

    More practical would be to continue to use DAQmx, through something like DAQmxCreateDOChan (taskHandle,"pxi.somewhere.com//Dev1/port0/line0:4",...)

    I found references to what we call 'Remote access appliance', for example:

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/5CC9792C6CD4A34C862565BC0072D5DF

    that seems to put in place something equivalent, but I don't find it to watch it in MAX:

    Start-> all programs-> National Instruments-> NI - DAQ-> the remote device access server

    and I've seen suggestions that maybe it isn't that for traditional DAQ or only pre 7.0, or in any other way was no longer applicable.

    Second question: "Remote device access" are always and how to I install/activate it on my PXI controller?

    Someone at - it clues as to the foregoing, or any other way to get the same kind of features?

    Thank you

    Hello Mike,.

    Remote device access was a feature in NOR-DAQ traditional long just now.  This feature was not worn on OR-DAQmx because the framework it was built on does not really correspond with the need of modern times for network security.

    Unfortunately, there is no functionality you describe by saying to DAQmx.  Currently, this type of control is limited to deploying applications to the target of RT.  While the VISA is used for some parts of the DAQmx interaction, these function calls are not documented.  Someone else on the forums may be able to help if they tried to implement something like this in the past.

    Good luck!

  • Error codes 12, 31 - PXI my system does not work

    I tried to solve the erros on my pxi system using the software compatibility MXI-Express BIOS 1.3 - Windows 7 64 bit/7 x 86/XP x 86/Vista Vista / x 86 x 64

    This software is intended to solve error code 12 or 31 showing in windows Device Manager. But this software does not support any system with material that contains several bus root PCI Express, only those with bus single root. But according to this software, my computer has MULTIPLE ROOT PCI EXPRESS BUS. What to do next? Windows just don't recognize my PXI system. There are two screenshots of the error.

    My description of the system:
    Dell precision T5500 workstation
    Windows 7 64 bit

    PCIe-8371 x 4 connected to a x 8 slot

    Controller of SMU-8370

    SMU-1075 chassis
    Step-down converter frequency PXI - 5600 RF
    Digitizer PXI-5142 OSP
    Converter RF PXI-5610
    SMU-5442 AWG OSP

    I appreciate the help.

    Filipe I think I can help you here. With the T5500, we should try to slot 2 or 4. We saw some problems of special interruption with Dell 1 slot and you can or can not see this behavior too. Unfortunately, I have all the details on this issue. However, there are also a known issue with Dell BIOS that limits the PCIe bus range, which can cause unexpected behavior when you extend your PCIe via MXI-Express bus.

    That leaves us with two options:

    1. we can update your BIOS to not have the bus number so low limit range

    Dell may have a BIOS available for the T5500. You can contact Dell Technical Support and maybe ask an other BIOS that has been released - it's not available on the Web.

    2. we can try to take advantage of the v1.4 MXI-Express BIOS software compatibility, supporting multi-root complex

    You need to register for the beta to ni.com/beta software. Once approved, you should be able to download and install accordingly.

    I'll send you a PM about #1. I would like to help us as much as possible.

    OK, then open measurement and automation explore (MAX). Looks like you need to associate the buck converter of frequencies of the digitizer. On the left side of MAX, expand devices and interfaces, and then expand the tree to the chassis. Right-click on the device of 5600 (8 slots) and select Properties, and associate it with your digitizer.

    Hi rachid,.

    There are actually quite large differences between the FPGA on the SMU-5641R and the card PCI-5640R.  The 5641R has 640 multipliers and 8784 KB block of RAM, while the 5640R has only 136 multipliers and 2448 KB block of RAM.  In my view, that the significantly smaller FPGA on the 5640R can't handle the FPGA VI without modification on the FPGA VI.  In order to perform the build on the 5640R, you will need to cut some of the mathematical operations in requiring code of multipliers.

  • Positive and negative frequency of calculation deviation

    Hello

    I need to measure the frequency deviation, Positive and negative. The example or vi "MT DAMA demodulate FM.vi" gives peak frequency deviation . Can any please help me find the positive frequency Deviation and negative frequency deviation of her

    Thank you

    Niju.

    Hi Johanna,.

    First things first - 5620 5600 + combined is what we call a PXI-5660 RF Signal Analyzer.

    The PXI-5660 module cannot be presence via the driver NOR-DAMA. The Modulation Toolkit FM sample that you reference is for the PXI-5661 and SMU-5663 analyzers, both use the driver NOR-DAMA.

    You use MT ni5660 FM demodulation. vi, located under the ni5660 examples.

    Now to your question...

    When you perform an FM demodulation, resulting the Subvi MT Demodulat FM data frequency / time with the frequency values (Y axis), is compared to the carrier frequency specified. Thus, data deviation of frequency (Hz), function of time. All you need to do to get the positive and negative frequency deviation is to use LabVIEW table Max & Min primitive functions of table palette. This will give you the min and max value of the FM data that will be the negative peak and the positive peak frequency deviation.
