Step 4. Using Your NI 78xxR Device with a LabVIEW FPGA Example VI

(NI 783xR/784xR/785xR Only)

The NI-RIO driver installation includes a variety of example projects to help get you started. This

section demonstrates how to use an existing LabVIEW FPGA example project to take an analog input

measurement with the NI 783xR/784xR/785xR device.

Note Examples available for your device are dependent on the device-specific minimum software

requirements. For more information on software requirements for your device, refer to Step 1. Install

Application Software and Driver.

Each R Series example project includes:

•

A LabVIEW FPGA VI that can be compiled and run embedded in FPGA hardware

A Host VI that runs in LabVIEW for Windows and interacts with the LabVIEW FPGA VI

The examples are configured for a specific target and may not be configured for your device. To use the

examples for a different target, you must copy the items contained within the VI to a new FPGA target.

Note To acquire real-world data in the analog input measurement taken in this example,

you will also need to provide your own signal source, such as a battery or function generator.

To access the analog input example project and take a measurement, complete the following steps:

1. Launch LabVIEW.

2. In the Getting Started window, click Find Examples to display the NI Example Finder.

3. In the NI Example Finder window, select Hardware Input and Output»R Series. This directory

holds several example projects designed to help you get started using your R Series device.

4. Select Basic I/O and then select Analog Input - R Series.lvproj.

5. The Analog Input example project opens in the Project Explorer window. This project is

precompiled for the NI PCI-7831R. If you are not using an NI PCI-7831R, then you need

to copy the example files into a new target directory and recompile the code. To compile

Analog Input - R Series.lvproj for a new R Series target, complete the following steps:

a. Right-click My Computer and select New»T a rgets and Devices to create a new target

in the Project Explorer window.

b. Select the Existing target or device radio button.

c. Expand the FPGA Target folder to display a list of the R Series devices you can add.

From the list, select the device for which you want to create a new directory, and click OK.

If your R Series device does not appear under this tree structure, refer to the Step 2. Install the

Device, Accessories, and Cables section and confirm that the device was installed correctly.

d. In the Project Explorer window, expand the original FPGA target and locate the Items to

Move folder. This folder holds all the target VIs and I/O resources necessary to run the

example VI. Click on the folder and drag it to the new FPGA Target.

Note The new target must support all of the analog input items included in this folder.

e. Right-click the Analog Input (FPGA).vi file within the Items to Move folder and select

Compile to recompile the FPGA VI. Recompiling takes several minutes. When the bitstream

generation is complete, close the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server.

f. Open Analog Input (Host).vi under My Computer and switch to the block diagram to update

the host VI and its references to the FPGA VI.

g. On the block diagram, right-click the Open FPGA VI Reference function and choose

Select VI from the shortcut menu.

h. In the Select VI dialog box, select Analog Input (FPGA).vi in the new target and click OK.

i. In the Project Explorer window, right-click the original FPGA target and select Remove to

delete it from the project.

j. Save the project to a new directory by selecting File»Save As.

6. Click the Run button in Analog Input (Host).vi to run the VI. The host VI displays the data being

acquired by the R Series device. To view real-world data, wire a signal source or voltage source to

AI0+ (RMIO pin 68) and AI0– (RMIO pin 34) of the terminal block.

Adding Analog Output to the FPGA Application

To expand the LabVIEW FPGA application to include analog output, complete the following steps:

1. On the block diagram of Analog Input (FPGA).vi, insert a new frame between the first and second

frames of the Flat Sequence structure by right-clicking the divider between the first two frames and

selecting Insert Frame from the shortcut menu, as shown in the following figure.

2. In the Project Explorer window, right-click the FPGA target and select New»FPGA I/O.

3. In the New FPGA I/O dialog box, expand Connector0 and select AO0.

Note This example reflects the naming conventions and graphic interface of LabVIEW 8.5. Items

such as FPGA I/O resources may appear differently if you are using earlier versions of LabVIEW.

4. Click Add, then click OK.

5. Click Connector0/AO0 in the Project Explorer window and drag it into the second frame of the

Flat Sequence structure on the block diagram of the FPGA VI. The FPGA I/O Node is created

automatically.

6. Right-click the input terminal of the new FPGA I/O Node and select Create»Control from the

shortcut menu. Rename the control AO Voltage, as shown in the following block diagram.

7. Save the VI, then right-click Analog Input (FPGA).vi in the Project Explorer window and select

Compile from the shortcut menu to recompile the FPGA VI.

8. Modify the host VI to control the additional AO channel you created by completing the

following steps:

a. Open the Analog Input (Host).vi block diagram.

b. Place a Read/Write Control from the FPGA Interface palette between the Invoke method

and the Read/Write Control that already exists on the block diagram.

c. Wire the FPGA VI Reference Out terminal of the Invoke Method node to the FPGA VI

Reference In terminal of the new Read/Write Control. Wire the FPGA Reference Out

terminal of the new Read/Write Control to the FPGA VI Reference In terminal of the

existing Read/Write Control.

d. Wire the error out output of the Invoke Method node to the error in input of the new

Read/Write Control. Wire the error out output of the new Read/Write Control to the

error in input of the existing Read/Write Control.

e. Click the section labeled Unselected and change it to AO Voltage.

f. Right-click the AO Voltage terminal and select Create»Control, as shown in the following

block diagram.

Getting Started with R Series Intelligent DAQ

9. On the front panel, locate the numeric control labeled AO Voltage. Right-click the control and

select Num Ctrls»Knob from the Express controls palette to change the control type to knob.

10. On the front panel, click and highlight the value in the lower limit of the knob to change the limit

to –32000. Click and highlight the value in the upper limit to change the limit to 32000.

11. Save the VI.

12. Using the terminal block, connect analog output channel 0 to analog input channel 0

by wiring AI0+ (RMIO pin 68) to AO0 (RMIO pin 55) and AI0– (RMIO pin 34) to

AOGND0 (RMIO pin 21), respectively.

13. Click the Run button in Analog Input (Host).vi and adjust the knob which controls analog output

channel 0. Notice how the change in voltage affects the reading on analog input channel 0.
