Status Code: -223545

Hi,

I would like to activate my 5600 downcoverter.  But when use the niRFSA INitialize.vi, it will aways prompt me the following problem.

niRFSA Initialize.vi<ERR>Session could not be opened because the
digitizer resource name was not specified. Specify the digitizer resource name in
Measurement & Automation Explorer or in the Option String.

Status Code: -223545

But I would not face any problem if i use the NI-5660 Initialize.VI and ni5660 Configure for Spectrum.VI combination.  (Shown in attachment)

I know there is a niRFSA Initialize With Options.vi, but how can I set my digitizer name with this VI.

Thanks.

Hello Jieyi,

You have a NI 5660 (5600 + 5620) which is programmed by a separate driver included on NI-RFSA called NI 5660 driver. This device (5660) is not compatible with the NI-RFSA API since this one is meant for NI 5661 (5600 + 5142).

The 5660 driver needs both the digitizer and the downconverter name. The RFSA driver only needs the downconverter name, and the digitizer is specified on Measurement and Automation Explorer (you need to have a 5142 to make it work this way).
You will find examples for both products, 5660 and RFSA, use the 5660 ones.

For detail and step by step information about this, please refer to the "Getting Started Guide" located under Start » All Programs » National Instruments » NI RFSA » Documentation.
Best of luck, and feel free to post on the RF Forums for these products.

Hi,

I am using then (5600+5621) combination.  So is it stil ideal for me to use the 5660 driver? 

I am currently using the NI Tuner to configure the 5600 to operate independently.  Am I on the right track?

Thanks

Hi Jieyi,

Sorry for the delay, probably you have tired by now.
You do not need to use NI-Tuner in LabVIEW since there is a driver that make use of this already for you. You can use the NI-5660 driver located on the Instruments IO » Inst Drivers » ni5660 Palette. The ni5660 Initiate.vi will ask you for the Downconverter device number (example 2) and the Scope resource name (example "DAQ::5") and that should be sufficient for any application. Make sure you look at the examples to give you a good guideline.

I'm having the same problem here.  I have a PXI-5600 and PXI-5620.  Getting the same error message.

I tried using the 5660 drivers you mentioned above.  However, when I go to use them, I'm missing the following files:

"MT Configure Downconversion Settings.VI"

"MT Get Attribuets.VI"

"mod_Modulation Settings.ctl"

"MT Convert IF to IQ.VI"

Which cd/dvd package did these come from?  I installed everything on the core package, without errors.

Thanks in advance.

Hello RandyF,

Welcome to the National Instruments Forums.
If you are missing VIs it might be because of the installation. These VIs belongs to Modulation Toolkit. Do you have it?
If you do, install first the RFSA driver and then Modulation Toolkit.
If not, uninstall RFSA driver and reinstall it. Make sure you have full support for the LabVIEW version you are trying to get it install.

Hope this helps,
