Adding the sbRIO-96xx to a LabVIEW FPGA Project

LabVIEW FPGA Module is required to program the user-accessible FPGA on the sbRIO-96xx or deploy sbRIO I/O modules in the LabVIEW FPGA program mode. To program in Real-Time (NI-DAQmx) or Real-Time Scan (IO Variables) modes, the LabVIEW FPGA module is not required.

  1. To create a new LabVIEW project, launch LabVIEW and click Create Project.
  2. Select Templates»LabVIEW FPGA Project.
  3. Select the CompactRIO Embedded System project type and click Next.

    The System Setup window opens, which will allow you to add your system to the project.

  4. Under Discover existing system, check the box next to Device is connected to a remote subnet IP address.
  5. Enter the IP address for the sbRIO-96xx and click Next.
    Note You can locate the system IP address in MAX in the System Settings for the sbRIO-96xx.
  6. In the LabVIEW Project Explorer, verify that your system is present in the project tree and click Finish.

    The LabVIEW project is created. All sbRIO I/O modules and corresponding I/O appear under the FPGA Target.

    Note By default, all sbRIO I/O modules appear under the FPGA Target, which indicates that all modules are selected for use in LabVIEW FPGA mode.
