NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS PXI-5650 1.3 GHz Signal Generator
Product Information
The PXI-5650 is a signal generator manufactured by National Instruments. It is available in three different models:
- NI PXI-5650 1.3 GHz Signal Generator
- NI PXI-5651 3.3 GHz Signal Generator
- NI PXI-5652 6.6 GHz Signal Generator
In addition, the device includes other components:
- NI PXIe-5601 RF Downconverter
- NI PXIe-5622 150M/S IF Digitizer with 64MB RAM
- NI PXIe-5622 150M/S IF Digitizer with 256MB RAM
The device has both volatile and non-volatile memory. The volatile memory requires power to maintain the stored information, such as capture waveforms. When power is removed, the contents of the volatile memory are lost. On the other hand, the non-volatile memory retains its contents even when power is removed. It typically contains the information necessary for booting, configuring, or calibrating the product.
Product Usage Instructions
- Cycle Power: When completely removing power from the device and its components, follow these steps:
- Shut down the PC and/or chassis containing the device.
- Ensure that the device is completely powered off.
- Wait for an adequate discharge period before proceeding.
- User-Accessible Memory: The device includes user-accessible memory components. You can store arbitrary information to these components using publicly distributed NI tools, such as the Driver API, System Configuration API, or MAX.
- System Accessible Memory: The device also has system-accessible memory components. These components can be read and/or written to from the host without the need to physically alter the product.
- Clearing: Clearing is a logical technique to sanitize data in all user-accessible storage locations. It protects against simple non-invasive data recovery techniques using the same interface available to the user. Clearing can be applied through standard read-and-write commands to the storage device.
- Sanitization: Sanitization is a process to render access to Target Data on the media infeasible for a given level of effort. In this document, clearing is described as the degree of sanitization.
- Note: For more detailed information and any updates, refer to the most recent version of the user manual available at ni.com/manuals. For further assistance, contact support at 866-275-6964 or support@ni.com.

Terms and Definitions
Cycle Power
The process of completely removing power from the device and its components and allowing for adequate discharge. This process includes a complete shutdown of the PC and/or chassis containing the device; a reboot is not sufficient for the completion of this process.
Volatile Memory
- Requires power to maintain the stored information. When power is removed from this memory, its contents are lost.
- This type of memory typically contains application-specific data such as capture waveforms.
Non-Volatile Memory
- Power is not required to maintain the stored information. Device retains its contents when power is removed.
- This type of memory typically contains information necessary to boot, configure, or calibrate the product or may include device power up states.
User Accessible
- The component is read and/or write addressable such that a user can store arbitrary information to the component from the host using a publicly distributed NI tool, such as a Driver API, the System Configuration API, or MAX.
System Accessible
- The component is read and/or write addressable from the host without the need to physically alter the product.
Clearing
Per NIST Special Publication 800-88 Revision 1, “clearing” is a logical technique to sanitize data in all User Accessible storage locations for protection against simple non-invasive data recovery techniques using the same interface available to the user; typically applied through the standard read and write commands to the storage device.
Sanitization
- Per NIST Special Publication 800-88 Revision 1, “sanitization” is a process to render access to “Target Data” on the media infeasible for a given level of effort. In this document, clearing is the degree of sanitization described.
