TestStand PXI 5660 RFSA

[holy]

Hi,

I am using NI RFSA PXI 5660 RF Vector Signal Analyzer to analyse the data.

How to provide conectivity from TestStand to PXI 5660.

What I am thinking is that

I have to use the following IVI Step Type

1) Scope --  Performs single-point and waveform measurements with oscilloscopes.

2) Tools -- Sets or gets instrument attributes and performs utility operations on any IVI instrument.

But I am not sure about it.

Has anyone any ideas or example code?

Thanks and Regards

Hi Nihal

While you could use the IVI step types to interface with the 5660, it would be much easier for you to write a code module that interfaces with the 5660, and then call the code module from TestStand.

For example, you could write a LabVIEW program that interfaces to the 5660 using the 5660 VI's (All functions >> Instrument I/O >> Instruments Drivers >> ni5660 palette).  Then just call the LabVIEW VI right from TestStand.
