How to add the PXIe-5122 Oscilloscope as a target in my LabVIEW FPGA project?

I am attempting to add the PXIe-5122 Oscilloscope to my LabVIEW FPGA. I have the PXIe-7915 FlexRIO Coprocessor Module and the PXIe-7846R RIO Module added already. I plan on using the PXIe-5122 Oscilloscope with a PXI-5412 Arbitrary Waveform Generator. I plan to then send the data through Peer-to-Peer transfer from the PXIe-5122 to the PXIe-7846R where the waveform will be passed through a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Node, then sent to the PXIe-7915 through Peer-to-Peer again. I have the NI-Scope Driver installed, I see that there is the NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel. Am I supposed to add the oscilloscope through there instead of through my LabVIEW FPGA project? I'm not quite sure of its purpose. When I go to add the PXIe-5122 Oscilloscope as a target to my LabVIEW FPGA project, I do not see it listed under the "Oscilloscopes" folder. So is there a way to add the Oscilloscope to my LabVIEW FPGA project in order to send the waveform through Peer-to-Peer to the PXIe-7846R? Or am I going about doing this wrong?

You would not add the 5122 as a target.  Since P2P is supported on the 5122 (see https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/documentation/supplemental/10/an-introduction-to-peer-to-peer-strea...) there should be an example that shows you how to configure it from the host so that the P2P stream is on and then you have to pair its P2P (5122's) with the FPGA it is going to.  I don't have that driver on my computer to find it.  In the example finder there should be an example which shows how this works and may not be specifically for the 5122 but for its class of instrument.  See http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370592AB-01/digitizers/5122_p2p_streaming/ as a good starting point.
