NI 5402/5406/5441/5442 Frequency Hopping and Sweeping

You can define a frequency list for performing frequency hops and sweeps. The entire frequency list uses the same waveform loaded in the lookup memory. All steps differ with the generated frequency.

Note  The minimum time that a frequency should generate is 1 ms. Therefore, the maximum hop rate from frequency to frequency is 1 kHz.

You can determine the maximum number of steps in your frequency list by querying the Maximum Number Of Frequency Lists property or the NIFGEN_ATTR_MAX_NUM_FREQ_LISTS attribute.
