Adding Items to an FPGA Target in the Project Explorer Window

You can add new or existing FPGA VIs, FPGA I/O items, FPGA FIFO, or FPGA clocks to an FPGA target in the Project Explorer window. You also can use folders to organize items under the FPGA target in the Project Explorer window. You might use the folder option for organizing items if you intend to use multiple FPGA I/O items.

Complete the following steps to add an item to an FPGA target in the Project Explorer window.

  1. Create a new project or open an existing project.
  2. Add an FPGA target to the project.
  3. Right-click the FPGA target and select New»x from the shortcut menu to add a new item, where x is the type of item you want to add, such as a VI, FPGA I/O item, or folder. The item appears in the Project Explorer window under the FPGA target.
  4. Double-click the new item in the Project Explorer window to edit or configure the item. If you added an FPGA base clock, right-click the FPGA base clock and select Properties from the shortcut menu to configure the clock.
Tip   You also can drag and drop existing items into the FPGA target in the Project Explorer window.
