.NET/Measurement Studio interface for PXI-5671, 5441, 5610, 5660, 5620, 5600

The documentation for RF Vector Signal Generator (PXI-5671 and PXI-5660) comes with NI-RFSG and RFSA software drivers for LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI and C.  We are currently using .NET C# and Measurement Studio to control our other NI devices.  Is there anything in measuremnt studio to control the RF Vector Signal Generators?  Can they be controlled with VISA?  If so, would it be a lot of work to use VISA?   Or is it best to use C# to call unmanged C code in the RFSG and RFSA software drivers?

Hi Rkremer,

You will find this answer exactly the same as the one of the forum post, if there is anything other customers know about this, they will add it in that public forum as well.
 
You can use the C functions in your .NET environment to configure the signal analyzer and the signal generator. This C calls will do the IVI calls (not VISA) to both the digitizer, upconverter, downconverter and arb.
For RFSG there is a .NET wrapper to facilitate the programming in this environment. You can find this wrapper in this link:
 
The wrapper for RFSA is not there yet, and therefore you will need to call directly C function calls.
Hope this helps,
