Configuring the LabVIEW FPGA Target

  1. Create a new project by selecting File»New»Project, or open an existing project by selecting File»Open.
  2. Right-click My Computer in the Project Explorer window and select New»Targets and Devices.
  3. In the Add Targets and Devices dialog box, choose New target or device and select your device.
  4. Right-click the device name and choose Properties from the menu.
  5. In the FPGA Target Properties dialog box, choose Component-Level IP from the Category listbox.
  6. To the right of the Component-Level IP listbox, click the Add file icon to import your CLIP declaration file (.xml).
    Note Use the xml file in the CLIP Template example project as a reference when creating a CLIP declaration xml file for your custom IP. Access the example xml file by opening your example project root folder and selecting Socketed CLIPs»Template.
  7. Click OK. LabVIEW automatically creates a compatible I/O socket in the project.
  8. To instantiate the CLIP in the I/O socket, expand the FPGA target tree item, right-click IO Socket and select Properties from the menu.
  9. In the IO Socket Properties dialog box, choose General from the Category listbox, then select a CLIP from the Component Level IP listbox.
  10. Click OK. The user-defined signals in your CLIP appear under the IO Socket item.
Enter the tasks the user should do after finishing this task (optional).
