Chapter 1 Introduction
© National Instruments Corporation 1-3 R Series Multifunction RIO User Manual
PXI-specific features are implemented on the J2 connector of the
CompactPCI bus. Table 1-2 lists the J2 pins used by the NI PXI-78xxR.
The NI 78xxR is compatible with any CompactPCI chassis with a sub-bus
that does not drive these lines. Even if the sub-bus is capable of driving
these lines, the R Series device is still compatible as long as those pins on
the sub-bus are disabled by default and are never enabled.
Caution Damage can result if the J2 lines are driven by the sub-bus.
Overview of Reconfigurable I/O
This section explains reconfigurable I/O and describes how to use the
LabVIEW FPGA Module to build high-level functions in hardware.
Refer to Chapter 2, Hardware Overview of the NI 78xxR, for descriptions
of the I/O resources on the NI 78xxR.
Reconfigurable I/O Concept
R Series Multifunction RIO devices are based on a reconfigurable FPGA
core surrounded by fixed I/O resources for analog and digital input and
output. You can configure the behavior of the reconfigurable FPGA to
match the requirements of the measurement and control system. You can
implement this user-defined behavior as an FPGA VI to create an
application-specific I/O device.
