4. Getting Started with the NI PXI 7811R This document explains how to set up the National Instruments PXI 7811R device Introduction The PXI 7811R is an R Series reconfigurable I O RIO device with 160 digital I O DIO lines Traditional digital I O devices have a fixed functionality provided by an application specific integrated circuit ASIC but the PXI 7811R has a field programmable gate array FPGA that allows you to define device functionality and timing You can use the LabVIEW FPGA Module to graphically design the PXI 7811R timing and functionality without having to learn a low level programming language or a hardware description language HDL traditionally used for FPGA design With the LabVIEW FPGA Module you create or download a custom virtual instrument VI to the FPGA You can reconfigure the PXI 7811R device with a new VI at any time You can use the LabVIEW Real Time Module to communicate and control the PXI 7811R device while performing additional tasks such as real time floating point processing and data logging Sy Note Ifyou are using LabVIEW but not the LabVIEW FPGA Module you can create VIs that run in LabVIEW to control existing FPGA VIs but you cannot create new FPGA VIs The PXI 7811R device has Flash memory that you can use to store VIs You can configure VIs to load to the FPGA and to run when the device powers up Qr NATIONAL p INSTRUMENTS Required Items This section provides lists of
