NI InstrumentStudio™ Interactive Software
PXI Waveform Generators are shipped with an interactive soft front panel called InstrumentStudio for ready-to-run operation. You can also combine your PXI Waveform Generator with a PXI Oscilloscope into a single view.
Standard Waveform Generation
A waveform generator can output many types of standard functions, such as sine, square, triangle, ramp, or noise waveforms, and user-defined arbitrary waveforms using the NI-FGEN API in LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI, and .NET languages.
Waveform Scripting
With the NI-FGEN driver, you can define standard and arbitrary waveforms that can be looped and burst using scripts.
Waveform Streaming
Waveform streaming is critical to generating long or constantly changing signals. A waveform generator can stream hundreds of megasamples per second to instrument memory.
Recommendations for First-Time Users
PXI Waveform Generator Bundle
The PXI Waveform Generator Bundle is a preconfigured set of one of NI’s most popular, high-quality waveform generators and a Thunderbolt™-controlled chassis so that you can get started with ease.
