How Do I Synchronize the FPGA Clock in my R-Series Intelligent I/O Board to my PXI clock?
Primary Software: LabVIEW Modules>>FPGA Module
Primary Software Version: 8.5
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A
Hardware: Reconfigurable I/O (RIO)>>R Series, PXI/CompactPCI, Reconfigurable I/O (RIO)>>R Series
Problem: I would like to synchronize the FPGA clock of my R-series PXI board to the 10 MHz clock in the PXI backplane. Where can I select this setting?
Solution:
When using LabVIEW 8.5,
-
Open a project and create the PXI real-time controller and FPGA target
- Right-click on the FPGA target and select RIO Device Setup...
- In the RIO Device Setup window, select the Device Settings tab
- Check the checkbox marked Synchronize FPGA Clock to PXI_CLK10
- Press the Apply Settings button to download the settings to the R-Series card

When using LabVIEW 8,
- Open a project and create the PXI real-time controller and FPGA target
- Right-click on the FPGA target and select Download Bitfile or Attributes To Flash Memory...
- In the Download Attributes or Bitfile to Flash Memory window, check the checkbox marked Synchronize FPGA Clock to PXI_CLK10
- Press the Download Attributes button to download the settings to the R-Series card
