LabVIEW FPGA example VI and how to create and run your own LabVIEW project with the NI 6584R. The NI 6584 comes in full duplex and half duplex versions, each with or without termination. The full duplex version has separate RX (receive) and TX (transmit) pins for acquisition and generation, respectively.

Connections that exceed any of the maximum ratings of input or output signals on the NI 6584R can damage the device and the chassis. NI is not liable for any damage resulting from such signal connections. For the maximum input and output ratings for each signal, refer to the Specifications section of this document.

FPGA Table 3 lists the NI 6584 connector signals and the corresponding NI FlexRIO FPGA module signals necessary for designing a custom component-level IP (CLIP). Channel 0 and Clock I/O are global clocks. The _CC suffix on the RX Data signals identifies channels that are capable of receiving a regional clock.
LabVIEW FPGA example project and a basic universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) interface to perform serial generation and/or acquisition with the NI 6584R. This example requires an NI VHDCI-to-Eight DB9 cable. If you are operating an unterminated device, NI recommends that you use external termination.

You must choose whether to enable the Write Data button or the Read Data button. 10. Click the Run button to run the VI. The NI 6584R generates and/or acquires data on Channel 0 of Port 1. If a timeout error occurs, the number of samples acquired did not reach the value specified in the Samples to Acquire control.
This section demonstrates how to create a LabVIEW project, an FPGA VI, and a host VI that writes and reads data on the NI 6584R. This exercise also demonstrates how to compile the FPGA VI on your target and run a VI on the host machine. This exercise shows how to complete these tasks for the full duplex version of the NI 6584.

Intellectual Property section of this document. Select NI 6584 Full-Duplex to configure the software for the full duplex version of the NI 6584R. Select NI 6584 Basic Connector to use the connector-based CLIP. Click OK. 10. In the Project Explorer window, select IO Module (NI 6584 Full-Duplex : NI 6584 Basic Connector).
Enter a number in the IO Module\TX control to push different values to all 16 channels. When you use the half duplex version of the NI 6584R, the number you enter in the IO Module\TX appears in the IO Module\RX control. When you use the full duplex version of the NI 6584R, the IO Module\RX indicator returns the number 65,535 because all RX lines are floating.
