Complete the following steps to create a Real-Time FlexRIO project in LabVIEW.

  1. In LabVIEW, select New Project.
  2. Select Real-Time Project and click OK.
  3. In the Create New LabVIEW Real-Time Project window, select the project type in the Project type drop-down menu, create a name for the project in the Project name field, and select a location to save the project in the Project folder field.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Add VIs to your project. You can either add blank VIs or import existing VIs to the host and the target.
  6. Click Next.
  7. In the Browse targets window, select Browse... to search for targets.
  8. The Add Targets and Devices on <target name> window appears. select one of the following options.
    • Discover existing system - select this option if your FlexRIO FPGA target is installed in your computer.
