100 MHz Frequency Generator
Software
If you want to build an automated test application or integrate the
PXI-5404 in your test software, use the IVI-compliant NI-FGEN
instrument driver with:
• NI LabVIEW
• Microsoft Visual Basic
•NI LabWindows/CVI
•Microsoft Visual C/C++
Interactive Control
The PXI-5404 comes with the versatile Sources Soft Front Panel
with which you can interactively control the PXI-5404. You can
generate sine and clock outputs with control of frequency, phase,
amplitude, and duty cycle with the Sources Soft Front Panel.
Furthermore, you can run the PXI-5404 in simulation mode from
the Sources Soft Front Panel.
NI-FGEN comes with a comprehensive set of examples that
illustrate the programming and features of the PXI-5404 in all four
programming environments. Because NI-FGEN offers simulation
mode, you can run your application on a laptop PC, for example.
Thanks to this feature, you can develop your application with the
PXI-5404 remotely or a team of developers can work on an
application without the need for hardware in their systems.
