Andrew,
Thank goodness you are here. I was starting to worry that the lack of response to my problem was due to it being either to juvenile for this crowd or worst, that I had stepped into something no one could fix.
Anyway, I really appreciate the feedback. One question I have then is, the " NI Signal Generators, Getting Started Guide " Feb06, page 12, section 5.a says I should be able to " right click the NI signal generator in the list, and select Properties". Is this statement just meant for signal generators other than the PXI-5404? Now, when I went through the " High Speed Digitizers Getting Started Guide " Aug06 in more detail earlier I was not able to find that same statement, so I can rest assure in your confirmation on that one.
Also, I can accept your assessment that the FGEN and SCOPE soft panels don't support RT, unfortunate as that is. When I work with new things I usually like to run the vendors packaged tools first to make sure the hardware is working/communicating before jumping into a project on my own. My goal here was to generate a signal out of the PXI-5404 and verify it on the PXI-5152. I did have success with the Test Panels under NI-DAQmx for all the devices listed except for the Signal Generator, it too was grayed out.
So, if all this sounds like nominal conditions, my next move was to try out the examples in the " Getting Started with Real-Time Module " book. Let me know what you think?
Thanks again.

Very good Andrew. I will now move forward with the examples given in the documentation along with the one you have listed here.
Thank you again for your support.
