To use C Series modules in a LabVIEW project, configure the project with your controller, chassis, and FPGA.

The following figure shows a project configured with a controller, chassis, FPGA target, and C Series modules in Scan Interface mode and FPGA Interface mode.

  1. Target 
  2. Chassis Item
  3. Real-Time Scan Resources Item
  4. C Series Modules (Scan Interface)
  5. FPGA Target
  6. C Series Module (FPGA Interface)

For an example of a LabVIEW project using C Series I/O, refer to the Using the Scan Interface with FPGA Interface LabVIEW project in labview\examples\CompactRIO\NI Scan Engine\Getting Started\Using Scan Interface with FPGA Interface\Using Scan Interface with FPGA Interface.lvproj.
