Using Your NI 5772R with a LabVIEW FPGA
Example VI
Note
You must install the software before running this example. Refer to the
NI FlexRIO FPGA Installation Guide and Specifications
for more information about
installing your software.
The NI FlexRIO Adapter Module Support software includes an example project to help you
get started creating your LabVIEW FPGA application. This section explains how to use an
existing LabVIEW FPGA example project to generate and acquire samples with the NI 5772R.
This example requires at least one SMA cable for connecting signals to your NI 5772R.
Note
The examples available for your device are dependent on the version of the
software and driver you are using. For more information about which software
versions are compatible with your device, visit
ni.com/info
, enter
rdsoftwareversion
in the text field, and click the NI FlexRIO link in the results.
The NI 5772R example project includes the following components:
•
A LabVIEW FPGA VI that you can compile and run on the FPGA embedded in the
hardware
•
At least one VI that runs on Windows and interacts with the LabVIEW FPGA VI
Note
In the LabVIEW FPGA Module software, NI FlexRIO adapter modules are
referred to as
IO Modules
.

FPGA Example VI Steps
1. Connect one end of an SMA cable to AI 0 on the NI 5772 front panel and the other end of
the cable to your device under test (DUT).
2. Launch LabVIEW.
3. Click
Help
»
Find Examples
to launch the NI Example Finder.
4. In the
NI Example Finder
window, select
Hardware Input and Output»FlexRIO»IO
Modules»NI 5772
.
5. Select
NI 5772 - Getting Started.lvproj
.
6. In the
Project Explorer
window, open
NI 5772 - Getting Started (Host).vi
under
My
Computer
to open the host VI. The Open FPGA VI Reference function in this VI uses
the NI PXI-7952R as the FPGA target by default. If you are using an NI FlexRIO FPGA
module other than the NI PXI-7952R, complete the following steps to change to the
FPGA VI to support your target.
a) Select
Window»Show Block Diagram
to open the VI block diagram.
b) On the block diagram, right-click the Open FPGA VI Reference (PXI-7952R)
function and select
Configure Open FPGA VI Reference
