| 8 | == Roles == |
| 9 | Replacing the old instrument1 machine. Acting as host for interference service, and using two onboard VSTs for noise injection, arbitrary signal injection, and spectrum monitoring, in order of importance. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Also acting as host for communication with spectrum analyzer, and other GPIB instruments. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Will eventually host similar capabilities for LTE and WLAN signal generation and analysis. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Ultimately, we want to provide labview access to end users, but we need to ensure a return to consistent state first. |
