Procedure for analog input/output(NI 5640R)

[Vinny ICS]

hi,
       I am vinod.I have started working on NI-5640R LabVIEW card.I am able to do
simulations using labview8.2 . But I am unable to interact with NI-5640R to get the 
output through output ports.I studied the manual given by NI. But I am confused fully
with the procedure and i did not understand anything.I tried the example project ni5640R
single tone output,but I failed.So please tell me the procedure to be followed, how the
ni5640R card ADC and DAC working(how to give I/P to ADC and how to get the O/P from
DAC),and how to interface host(my PC)and Target(ni5640R) using VIs.
Please tell me that how the signal flows(inter connection between)through the parts of
VI(both in HOST and FPGA modules).


with regards,

Hi Vinod

I think we have to break this down into small steps.

What version of the ni5640R driver are you using?  For LabVIEW 8.2, it should be ni5640R v 1.1.

My first suggestion would be to read the getting started guide.  The Getting Started guide should be found in the following location: Start>Programs>National Instruments>NI-5640R>Documentation>   Then follow the instructions for the example project.  At the first point that you do not get what you expect, or something is not working, we should start at that point.

Once we get you compiling the example project in the Getting Started Guide, we can work on any issues preventing you from compiling one of the shipping examples.

Also, if you have any specific questions on any of the documentation, you can post those questions as well.  There are also a number of previous questions here in the forum that may help you as well.
