N5110B Baseband Studio for waveform capture and playback software works with the N5101A Baseband Studio PCI card and the N5102A digital signal interface module to perform digital capture and playback tasks. When connecting with an E4438C ESG or E8267D PSG, it can play back the custom waveform file from the on-board memory (N5101A Option 022) that resides in the N5101A PCI card or PC hard disk drive with N5101A Option 022 through the signal generator and produces signals at RF or MW frequencies.
