The NI-RFSA and NI-RFSG APIs each provide a fixed API for interacting with your hardware.

NI-RFSA and NI-RFSG provide standard IVI-based functionality needed for most vector signal analyzer and vector signal generator applications.

You can use NI-RFSA and NI-RFSG FPGA extensions to customize the device FPGA using precompiled bitfiles.

• Use NI-RFSA to create custom measurements or applications that require I/Q data.
• Use NI-RFSA and NI-RFSG with the NI Modulation Toolkit to develop software-defined radio transmitters and receivers.

• Use NI-RFSG to generate continuous wave (CW) or modulated waveforms.
• Use NI-RFSG with the NI Modulation Toolkit to create and generate modulated signals to test receivers.

Provides a single-handle instrument driver with built-in measurements.

You can use instrument driver FPGA extensions to customize the device FPGA using precompiled bitfiles.

• Use RFmx SpecAn to perform spectral measurements.
• Use RFmx Demod to perform modulation quality measurements, such as EVM.
• Use RFmx personalities to perform physical layer analysis on supported communications and connectivity signals.
