Help needed - Creating an FPGA model and deploying it to a cRio 9075 using Labview 2011/Veristand 2011

[dbluestein]

I have used the Labview "Wizard" to create an FPGA project in Labview 2011.

I have a cRio9075.  I want to integrate this project into the 9075 and have followed the white paper: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-13815

Integration into NI VeriStand

1. Customize the FPGA VI generated by the NI VeriStand Custom FPGA Project Wizard (done)
2. Compile the FPGA VI to generate the bitfile (.lvbitx). (done)
3. Modify the FPGA Config XML file (.fpgaconfig) to match the packet definition in the FPGA VI (RIO Library VIs have the XML on their block diagram).
4. Copy the bitfile, config file, and schema (.xsd) in to either your NI VeriStand project directory or into the globally available Public Documents\National Instruments\<NI VeriStand Version>\FPGA directory.
5. Add the FPGA personality to an NI VeriStand System Definition.

The first two steps have gone smoothly.

Step 3 is where I get confused; apparently I need to create an XML definition and the note here says "RIO Library VIs have the XML on their block diagram".  I cannot find this in any of the vi's I have from my example. 

Where do I do this, or where do I find the file to edit?  And what am I editing it to do?

And on step 4, where do I find a schema(.xsd) file?

The ultimate goal of all this is to program the FPGA to read a frequency from a counter card and pass the result to Veristand. 

Thanks,
