NI 6584R User Guide and Specifications
Figure 5 shows the front panel controls and indicators configured for generating and acquiring data in
this example VI. Close the VI when you are finished generating and acquiring data.

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 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. To complete these tasks with a different hardware version of the NI 6584, replace
every instance of
Full Duplex
in these instructions with
Half Duplex, Full Duplex No Termination,
or
Half Duplex No Termination
,
depending on which device you are using.
Note
Disconnect all signals from the NI 6584R connectors before running this VI.
Creating a Project
1.
Launch LabVIEW.
2.
In the
Getting Started
window, select
Empty Project
. The new project opens in the
Project
Explorer
window.
3.
