h1. Lab Setup

Equipment used in the lab are the following:

1 x *CISCO 2811 Switch*

1 x *NI PXIe-1078 Chassis*

>The NI PXIe-1078 nine-slot chassis features a backplane that incorporates a PCI Express connection to every slot to meet a wide range of test and measurement application >needs. It accepts PXI Express modules in every slot and supports standard PXI hybrid-compatible modules in up to five slots. The chassis includes built-in timing and >synchronization features including 10 and 100 MHz reference clocks as well as the PXI trigger bus. (If you need a system timing slot, consider the NI PXIe-1082 eight-slot chassis.)

2 x *NI PXIe-5644R* VSTs

>The NI PXIe-5644R vector signal transceivers (VSTs) are part of a new class of instrumentation that combines a vector signal generator and vector signal analyzer with FPGA-based real-time signal processing and control. Because of this software-designed approach, a VST features the flexibility of a software defined radio architecture with RF instrument class performance.

1 x *NI PXIe-8360* PXIe Controller

They are arranged according to the diagram below.
