Creating A Labview Project And Running A Vi On An Fpga Target - National Instruments NI 6583R User Manual And Specifications

Creating a LabVIEW Project and Running a VI on an FPGA Target

This section demonstrates how to create a LabVIEW project, an FPGA VI, and a host VI that acquires
and generates single-ended data on the NI 6583R. This exercise also demonstrates how to compile the
FPGA VI on your target and run a VI on the host machine.
Note
Disconnect all signals from the NI 6583R connectors before running this VI.
Creating a Project
1. Launch LabVIEW, or if LabVIEW is already running, select File»New.
2. In the New dialog box, select Project»Empty Project. Click OK. The new project opens in the
Project Explorer window.
3. Save the project as
Creating an FPGA Target VI
1. In the Project Explorer window, right-click My Computer and select New»Targets and
Devices.
2. In the Add Targets and Devices on My Computer window, select the Existing Target or Device
button and expand the FPGA Target. The target is displayed.
Select your device and click OK. The target and target properties are loaded into the project tree.
3.
4. In the Project Explorer window, right-click the FPGA target and select New»VI. A blank VI
opens.
5. Select Window»Show Block Diagram to open the block diagram window.
6. In the Project Explorer window, select FPGA Target (RIOx, PXI-79xxR).
7. Right-click IO Module and select Properties. In the General category, select
National Instruments: NI 6583, and you can see the available component-level IP (CLIP) for the
NI 6583 in the Component Level IP pane. If the category information is dimmed, select the Enable
IO Module checkbox.
Note For more information about CLIP items for the NI 6583, refer to the
Component-Level Intellectual Property (CLIP)
Select NI 6583 Basic Connector to use the connector-based CLIP. Click OK.
8.
9. In the Project Explorer window, expand the IO Module (NI 6583 : NI 6583 Basic Connector)
tree view.
10. Select SE_Data_Dir, SE_Data_Rd, SE_Data_Wr, Voltage_Family, Set_Voltage_Family,
and Set_Voltage_Done, and drag them onto the block diagram.
Tip
If you hold down the <Ctrl> key, you can select multiple options at one time.
11. Add a While Loop around all six data nodes, as shown in Figure 14.
12. Wire a False constant to the stop condition of the While Loop.
13. Wire indicators from the output terminals of the IO Module\SE_Data_Rd and
IO Module\Set_Voltage_Done nodes.
14. Wire controls from the input terminals of the IO Module\Set_Voltage_Family,
IO Module\SE_Data_Dir, and IO Module\SE_Data_Wr nodes.
15. On the Functions palette, choose Select a VI.
16. In the Select the VI to Open window, navigate to
<LabVIEW x >\examples\FlexRIO\IO Modules\NI 6583\FiniteAcqGenSimple.
