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.
