How do you create the FPGA I/O Start Node shown in the NI 9233 Getting Started FPGA VI

[RKING]

The fourth frame of the sequence structure in the NI 9233 Getting Started (FPGA) VI (from examples, browse by task, Toolkits>>FPGA>>cRIO>>AI>>Modules>>9233) shows an FPGA I/O node with a Start Terminal.  Can someone tell me how to generate the Start Terminal in an FPGA I/O Node?

The Start and Stop terminals of the 9233 module are handled the same as digital lines from DI and DO modules. To access them in the diagram you first need to add them as digital I/O channels in the project.

Once you have added the 9233 module to the project, select to add I/O channels to your project. Instead of adding analog channels, go to the Digital Line Output section (see attached image) and select the Start and Stop signals from the 9233.

Back in your diagram you can then add a FPGA I/O node and select these signals.

Thanks Christian L.  I was able to recreate the terminals.  Where can I find some documentation or Help content on the 9233 start and stop terminals?

Hi RKING,

There should be documentation for every module in the LabVIEW Help regarding the methods, properties and terminals.  My favorite page to look at and usually the most helpful page is listed as NI Module #. For example the 9233 page it would appear as NI 9233.  You can get to the LabVIEW help by going to Help > Search the LabVIEW Help.  Enter in 9233 in the search field.  I attached and image of the page as well.

Regards,

S. Bassett

Thanks  Bassett Hound.  That is the information I need.
