NI 5731/5732/5733/5734 Component-Level Intellectual Property (CLIP) The LabVIEW FPGA Module includes a feature for HDL IP integration called CLIP. NI FlexRIO devices support two types of CLIP: user-defined and socketed. • User-defined CLIP allows users to insert HDL IP into an FPGA target, enabling VHDL code to communicate directly with an FPGA VI.
Use any shielded 50 coaxial cable of less than 3 meters in length with a BNC plug end to connect • to the AI 0, AI 1, AI 2, and AI 3 connectors on the NI 5731/5732/5733/5734 front panel. Use any shielded 50 coaxial cable of less than 3 meters in length with an SMB plug end to •...
NI 5734 Min = 50 MHz NI 5734 Max = 120 MHz Duty Cycle Stabilizer (DCS) enabled. DCS enabled is the default setting for all NI 5731/5732/5733/5734 CLIP items. You can disable the DCS by adjusting register 9 in the ADC.
Complete the following steps to run an example that acquires a waveform on AI 0 of the NI 5731/5732/5733/5734. Connect one end of an BNC cable to AI 0 on the front panel of the NI 5731/5732/5733/5734 and the other end of the cable to your device under test (DUT).

DMA transfers or result in other clock performance and timeout errors -50400 when acquiring data on the NI 5731. To ensure that the NI 5731 self-recovers from this error, the host and FPGA VIs must be able to trap these timeout errors and reinitialize the FPGA. The following two...
Right-click IO Module in the Project Explorer window and select Properties. Select the NI 573x from the IO Module list. The available CLIP for the NI 5731/5732/5733/5734 is displayed in the General category of the Component Level IP pane. If the information in the General category is dimmed, select the Enable IO Module checkbox.
