Change Data Type for FPGA I/O Node

[Machanix]

I am looking at some of the sample code that came with a sbRIO-9631. In Exercise 3, there is a sign wave generated on AO0. The data type for that output is I16. When I copy that code into one of the other examples, the data type changes from I16 to fixed point (FXP). Can I change the data type for the FPGA I/O Node from fixed point to I16?

Thanks!

Hi Machanix,

For the analog input and ouput modules, the data will either be a fixed-point or integer number which corresponds to either calibrated or raw data. Calibrated data will come in as a voltage and raw data will come in as an integer value which corresponds to a voltagea value. If the module you are using supports different data outputs, you can right-click on the module in your project and navigate to the properties of that module. This will allow you to choose the Calibration Mode if your module supports both types of modes.
