System»Identify As and select External PC. Your chassis will be
automatically identified.
♦
PXI Express controller—a PXI Express controller installed in a PXI
Express chassis is automatically identified in MAX.
You can generate signals with the NI RF signal generator using the
NI-RFSG instrument driver. You also can run the NI-RFSG examples
to demonstrate the functionality of the NI RF signal generator.
