Table 3. Connector Descriptions
Connector Use
RF IN

Rated at 0 VDC when DC coupled and 25 VDC when AC coupled. NI recommends setting the NI-RFSA Channel Coupling property to AC Coupled when the input signal is ≥ 10 MHz.

IF OUT

Output terminal for the frequency-translated IF signal.

LO1 IN

Input terminal for the LO1 (3.2 GHz to 8.3 GHz) source.

LO2 IN

Input terminal for the LO2 (4 GHz) source.

LO3 IN

Input terminal for the LO3 (800 MHz) source.

LO1 OUT

Output terminal for the LO1 (3.2 GHz to 8.3 GHz) source. In multichannel systems, LO1 OUT exports the signal received at LO1 IN to other PXIe-5603 modules.

This connector is disabled by default.

LO2 OUT

Output terminal for the LO2 (4 GHz) source. In multichannel systems, LO2 OUT exports the signal received at LO2 IN to other PXIe-5603 modules.

This connector is disabled by default.

LO3 OUT

Output terminal for the LO3 (800 MHz) source. In multichannel systems, LO3 OUT exports the signal received at LO3 IN to other PXIe-5603 modules.

This connector is disabled by default.

Table 4. LED Indicators
LED Indication
ACCESS

Indicates the basic hardware status of the module.

  • OFF—The module is not yet functional, or the module detected a problem with a power rail.
  • AMBER—The module is being accessed. Accessed means that the device setup registers are being written to in order to control the device.
  • GREEN—The module is ready to be programmed.
    • ACTIVE

    Indicates the module state.

  • OFF—The module is in a quiescent state.
  • AMBER—The module is waiting for the Advance Trigger from the configuration list.
  • GREEN—The module is triggered and is running a step from the configuration list.
  • RED—The module detected an error state. An error state may indicate the module exceeded approved operating temperature and thermal shutdown occurred or that the module detected a power supply failure. If the power supply fails, contact NI technical support.
