FPGA target. help with sbrio 9631

Solved!
Go to solution

I'm trying to connect to the analog i/o of my sbrio 9631. I am trying to follow this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3-WGrnVnxM  

at 37 seconds in, his project menu has two folders under fpga target call anolg input and analog output. When I look at my project menu I dont have those folders. the only folder under fpga target for me is onboard i/o. I am using the same sbRIO as in the video. Any ideas? the attached photos are of my project menu and his.

When creating I/O in your FPGA target you have the option of having the I/O nodes put in folders. You can also define your own virtual folders and put the I/O nodes in those. For my FPGA targets (PXI-RIO) it creates the folders based on connector. Either way, it's just a method for keeping your project organized.

Have you actually created any analog I/O nodes or are you concerned about duplicating the folders as in the tutorial?

Your initial post said you wanted to connect to the analog I/O of your device. I've not used this particular product but it should be the same as any other target device. To create an analog I/O node you would right click on the FPGA target and choose "New...I/O" or very similar. You should be presented with a dialog allowing you to choose either analog or digital I/O. In the tutorial, they have simply chosen all the analog channels available.
