Programming Examples

NI-RFSA includes several examples for LabVIEW. These examples are intended to serve as interactive tools, programming models, and building blocks in your own applications.

With LabVIEW running, select Help»Find Examples to launch the LabVIEW Example Finder. The Example Finder offers two ways to access all installed LabVIEW example VIs and their descriptions:

• Click the Browse tab to locate NI-RFSA examples by task at Hardware Input and Output»Modular Instruments»NI-RFSA or by directory structure at instr»ni5660.
• Click the Search tab to search all installed examples by keyword. Enter the keyword power, for instance, to locate an example that demonstrates making power in band measurements using the RF Signal Analyzer.

All installed NI-RFSA files are located in the <LabVIEW home>\examples\instr\ni5660 folder.

Spectral Measurements Toolkit Examples for the RF Signal Analyzer

The Spectral Measurements Toolkit includes LabVIEW examples for the RF Signal Analyzer. You can access the Spectral Measurements Toolkit examples at Start»Programs»National Instruments»Spectral Measurements.

Note  Refer to the Spectral Measurements Toolkit documentation, accessible at Start»Programs»National Instruments»Spectral Measurements, for more information about the Spectral Measurements Toolkit software and examples.

Examples Available Online

Examples for the RF Signal Analyzer are also available online at ni.com/examples. Available examples demonstrate integration of the RF Signal Analyzer with the RF Signal Generator and NI toolkit software, including the Modulation Toolkit. Refer to the NI Developer Zone on the Web for more information.

Refer to the Programming the NI 5660 in LabWindows/CVI section in the NI 5660 Getting Started Guide for more information on the software subcomponents that install with the ni5660 VIs. The NI 5660 Getting Started Guide is accessible at Start»Programs»National Instruments»NI-RFSA»Documentation.
