Creating a LabVIEW Project and Running a VI on an FPGA Target
This section explains how to set up your target and create an FPGA VI and host VI for data
communication. For more detailed information about acquiring data on your NI 5762R, refer to the
device-specific examples available in NI Example Finder.
