There are two methods for adding 96 digital I/O lines to the sbRIO FPGA Target when used with the RMC connector:
Digital I/O MethodUse this method if you do
not need to configure the digital I/O lines as processor peripherals, such as CAN, SDIO, or Serial.
- To add a RIO Mezzanine Card to the project, right-click on FPGA Target and select New » RIO Mezzanine Card refer to below figure.
- Select the digital type:
- Click OK.
- You should now see the Digital I/O lines present in your LabVIEW project like the below figure.
Socketed CLIP Method
Use this method if you need to configure the digital I/O lines as processor peripherals, such as CAN, SDIO, or Serial. This is only available for sbRIO-9607, 9627, and 9651 targets.
The socketed CLIP method requires the creation of a CLIP file from the sbRIO CLIP Generator. For more information on how to launch the CLIP Generator and how to configure each page, please see its
help document.
After the CLIP file has been generated, follow the instructions detailed under the “User-Defined FPGA Signals” section in your sbRIO’s user manual to import the CLIP file into your LabVIEW Project.
