For convenience, LabVIEW also supports storing your adapter module socketed component-level IP in a location external to the IO Modules directory. For example, you may wish to store your adapter module CLIP in the same location as your LabVIEW FPGA project files. In this situation, your adapter module CLIP is not automatically discovered by LabVIEW and must be manually added to your LabVIEW project. To manually add your adapter module CLIP to the LabVIEW project, complete the following steps:

1. Create a new LabVIEW project.
2. Add your FPGA target to the project. The FlexRIO FPGA module appears in the Project Explorer window with an unconfigured adapter module.
3. Right-click the FPGA target and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display the FPGA Target Properties dialog box.
4. Select Component Level IP from the Category list to display the Component Level IP FPGA Target Properties page.
5. Click the Add button. A file browser window launches, prompting you for the location of your CLIP XML file. Browse to the XML file location, select it, and click OK.
6. Click OK on the FPGA Target Properties dialog box. Your adapter module CLIP has now been added to your FPGA target and is available for selection from within the IO Module Properties dialog box.
