Configuring FPGA Targets

You can configure FPGA targets from the Project Explorer window. FPGA target functionality varies depending on the specific target. Refer to the specific FPGA target hardware documentation for information about configuration options available for the target.

1. Create a new project or open an existing project.
2. Add an FPGA target to the project.
3. Right-click the FPGA target in the Project Explorer window and select Properties from the shortcut menu. The FPGA Target Properties dialog box appears.
4. Select General from the Category list.
5. Enter a Name for the FPGA target. The Name identifies the FPGA target in the Project Explorer window.
6. If you did not select an existing target when you added the FPGA target to the project, enter a Resource for the FPGA target. The Resource associates the FPGA target in the Project Explorer window with a specific FPGA target connected to the development computer, network computer, or RT target.
   Note   You can find the Resource name in NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). For FPGA targets that appear in MAX as NI-DAQmx Devices, the Resource is the name of the device that you specify in MAX.
7. (Optional) Specify the execution mode you want to use to debug an FPGA VI on the Execution Mode page.
   Note   LabVIEW displays only the options that the current FPGA target supports.
8. (Optional) Specify the top-level clock on the Top-Level Clock page.
9. (Optional) Add, create, or modify component-level IP declaration XML files on the Component-Level IP page.
10. (Optional) Configure target-scoped properties for DRAM on the DRAM Properties page.
11. (Optional) Configure conditional disable symbols on the Conditional Disable Symbols page.
12. Click OK.
