Generate User Defined Waveform At 1Gbit/s Using the NI-6587 Adapter Module for FlexRIO

[Starla_T.]

Overview

    This example continously outputs a user defined waveform at 1Gbt/s using the NI-6587 adapter module for FlexRIO.

Description

    This example continously outputs a user defined waveform at 1Gbt/s using the NI-6587 adapter module for FlexRIO.   The code is compiled to run on a NI-7962R series FlexRIO card.  If you are using a different card, the code will need to be recompiled.

     In the Host VI, the user defines one period of the waveform to be generated.  The Load FIFO.VI can be used to generate one period of a sine wave for testing purposes.    The user can choose to use a count up pattern to output data or to use a the user defined wave data.     The FPGA code uses the Connector Serdes CLIP.   This code loads the wave data on a FPGA memory block and then reads the data back in the Data Output SCTL.  The Data Output loop must run on the Gen_Regional_Clock.  The FPGA memory block is limited to 1024 elements, so the user defined wave period can have no more than 1024 elements.  Please refer to the code documentation for additional explaination of the code operation.
