Note If yo
u u
se the R Series device witho
u
t the FPGA Mod
u
le, yo
u
can
u
se the RIO
Device Set
u
p
u
tility, available by selecting Start»All Programs»National Instruments»
NI-RIO»RIO Device Setup to download precomplied FPGA VIs to the Flash memory of
the R Series device. This
u
tility installs with NI-RIO. Yo
u
also can
u
se the
u
tility to
config
u
re the analog inp
u
t mode, to synchronize the clock on the R Series device to the
PXI clock (for NI PXI-78 xx R only), and to config
u
re when the VI loads from Flash
memory. For more information abo

LabVIEW Real-Time Module
The LabVIEW Real-Time Mod
u
le extends the LabVIEW development
environment to deliver deterministic, real-time performance.
Yo
u
can write host VIs that r
u
n in Windows or on RT targets to
comm
u
nicate with FPGA VIs that r
u
n on the NI 78 xx R. Yo
u
can develop
real-time VIs with LabVIEW and the LabVIEW Real-Time Mod
u
le, and
then download the VIs to r
u
n on a hardware target with a real-time
operating system. The LabVIEW Real-Time Mod
u
le allows yo
u
to
u
se the
NI 78 xx R in RT Series PXI systems being controlled in real time by a VI.
The NI 781 x R is designed as a single-point DIO complement to the
LabVIEW Real-Time Mod
u
le. The NI 783 x R/784 x R/785 x R is designed as
a single-point AI, AO, and DIO complement to the LabVIEW Real-Time
Mod
u
le. Refer to the LabVIEW Help , available by selecting Help»Search
