NI-FPGA Property Dialog Box

Requires: Simulation Interface Toolkit

Right-click the IP address or target name in the Device Tree of the Configure HW I/O Mappings dialog box and select Add Device»FPGA to display this dialog box.

You also can launch this dialog box by right-clicking a FPGA target in the Device Tree and selecting Device Properties.

Use this dialog box to configure properties of an FPGA target.

This dialog box includes the following components:

• FPGA Target—Use this tab to select the FPGA target that you want to use in a simulation.
  • Select from Found Devices—Displays any FPGA targets available on the RT target.
    • FPGA Target—Displays the FPGA targets associated with the found devices.
    • Requery—Queries for FPGA targets on the RT target. You use this button when you have added an FPGA target and need to refresh the list of FPGA targets.
  • Manually Specify—Displays an FPGA target you configured. You use the following controls to select a device name and device type.
    • Device Name—Allows you to select a reconfigurable I/O (RIO) device name.
    • Device Type—Allows you to select a device type.
  • FPGA Bitfile—Specifies the FPGA bitfile, which defines the available I/O on the FPGA. Most FPGA targets include default bitfiles. You also can create a custom FPGA bitfile.
  • Group Channels by Type—Groups input, output, analog, and digital channels by type so that they are easier to find.
• Options—Use this tab to specify PWM output values (Hz) and/or channel timeout values (ms).
