100M (100 MHz).
13. In the VI front panel resource name control, enter the NI 5610
upconverter device name or the NI 5650/5651/5652 device name that
you specified in MAX (the NI 5610 upconverter module must be
associated with an AWG module. Refer to the Configuring the
NI 5670/5671/5672 in MAX section for more information about
associating a module.)
You can control continuous waveform generation using a Stop button.
A Stop button is typically used within a While Loop. This example places
a While Loop around the niRFSG Check Generation Status VI so that
signal generation continues and waveform status is continuously checked
until you click STOP.
Build a STOP button by completing steps 14 through 18.
14. Display the block diagram by clicking it or selecting Window»
