Configuring the NI 5663E Master

The following figure shows the MAX configuration tree for all the modules present in a 2 × 2 MIMO setup, which can consist of two NI 5673E devices and two NI 5663E devices in a phase-coherent configuration. The two NI 5663E devices are highlighted in the figure.

  2. Slave NI 5663E

When using the NI 5663E, each NI 5601 must have an LO and a baseband digitizer module associated with it. To configure the module association, complete the following steps:

  1. Right-click the master NI 5601 module and choose Configure. The following figure shows an example of the dialog box that appears.

  2. Select the module name for the digitizer you need to associate with the master NI 5663E.
  3. Select the module name for the LO you need to associate with the master NI 5663E.
