Unpacking

The NI FlexRIO FPGA module and the NI 1483 are shipped in antistatic packages to prevent

electrostatic discharge from damaging device components. To prevent such damage when handling

the device, take the following precautions:

• Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object, such as your computer

chassis.

• Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis before removing the device

from the package.

Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

Remove the device from the package and inspect the devices for loose components or any other sign

of damage. Notify National Instruments if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not install a

damaged device into the chassis.

Store the NI FlexRIO FPGA module and NI 1483 in the antistatic envelopes when not in use.

Installing the NI FlexRIO FPGA Module

Complete the following steps to install an NI FlexRIO FPGA module:

Note You must install the software before installing the hardware. For software installation

information, refer to Step 1. Install Application Software and Driver.

Caution Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility document packaged

with your PXI/PXI Express chassis or device before removing equipment covers or connecting or

disconnecting any signal wires.

1. Power off and unplug the PXI/PXI Express chassis. Refer to your chassis manual to install or

configure the chassis.

2. Identify a supported PXI/PXI Express slot in the chassis. Figure 2 shows the symbols that indicate

the slot types for a PXI/PXI Express chassis.

If you are using a PXI Express chassis, you can place PXI devices in the PXI slots. If a PXI device is

hybrid slot compatible, you can use the PXI Express Hybrid slots. PXI Express devices can be placed

only in PXI Express slots and PXI Express Hybrid slots. Refer to the chassis documentation for details.

Tip PXI NI FlexRIO FPGA modules are compatible with PXI slots and PXI Express Hybrid slots.

PXIe NI FlexRIO FPGA modules are compatible with PXI Express slots and PXI Express Hybrid

slots. National Instruments does not recommend using NI FlexRIO FPGA modules in PXI Express

System Timing slots because the boards do not have timing features.

3. Remove the filler panel of an unused PXI/PXI Express slot.

4. Touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge any static electricity.

5. Place the PXI/PXI Express module edges into the module guides at the top and bottom of the

chassis, and slide the module into the chassis until the module is fully inserted, as shown in

Figure 3.

Connectivity Options

National Instruments recommends that you use the following cables to connect your camera to the

26-pin SDR connectors on the NI 1483:

• MDR to SDR Camera Link cable (part number 199745A-05)

• SDR to SDR Camera Link cable (part number 199746A-05)

Note To ensure the high-speed signaling of the Camera Link interface, National Instruments

recommends that you purchase a Camera Link cable rather than build a custom cable.

You can use the NI 1483 with the following I/O accessories:

• NI 17xx 5m Pigtail breakout cable (part number 197818-05)

• NI 17xx Unshielded Screw Terminal Breakout with 2M Cable (part number 780261-01)

Step 4. Using the NI 1483R with a LabVIEW FPGA Example VI

This section demonstrates how to use an existing LabVIEW FPGA example project to acquire images

with the NI 1483R.

Note Examples available for your device are dependent on the device-specific minimum software

requirements. For more information about software requirements for your device, refer to Step 1.

Install Application Software and Driver.

Each NI 1483R example project includes:

• A LabVIEW FPGA VI that can be compiled and run on FPGA hardware

• A Host VI that runs in LabVIEW for Windows and interacts with the LabVIEW FPGA VI

Note In software, NI FlexRIO adapter modules are referred to as IO Modules.

Complete the following steps to run an example that acquires an image with the NI 1483.

1. Connect a Camera Link camera capable of outputting a 1-tap, 10-bit image to the NI 1483. Ensure

that the camera is powered on.

2. This example shows how to use a frame trigger to acquire images from the camera. To use an

external trigger source, connect the TTL I/O 0 pin on the D-Sub connector to the trigger source

using either a breakout cable or terminal block. If you do not have an external trigger source, you

can trigger the camera with a software trigger.

3. Launch LabVIEW.

4. In the Getting Started window, click Find Examples to display the NI Example Finder.

5. In the NI Example Finder window, select Directory Structure.

6. Browse to the example folder for the NI 1483 by selecting FlexRIO»IO Modules»NI 1483.

7. Select 1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame Trigger, then 1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame

Trigger.lvproj.

8. In the Project Explorer window, expand the tree view for the FPGA target you are using. If your

target does not appear, complete the following steps to create and configure a new FPGA target.

a. In the Project Explorer window, right-click My Computer and select New»Targets and

Devices.

b. Select the type of FPGA target you intend to use and click OK.

c. Expand the tree view for the PXIe-7965R and the tree view for the target you created.

Trigger (FPGA), and, select Build from the drop-down menu.

Note Depending on your hardware configuration, compiling may take 30 minutes to an hour.

10. In the Project Explorer window, double-click 1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame Trigger

(Host).vi under My Computer to open the host VI. The VI uses the NI PXIe-7965R as the FPGA

target. If you are not using the NI PXIe-7965R, complete the following steps to change the FPGA

target.

a. In the host VI front panel window, select Window»Show Block Diagram to open the VI

block diagram.

b. On the block diagram, right-click the Open FPGA icon (PXIe-7965R) and select Configure

Open FPGA VI Reference.

c. In the Configure Open FPGA VI Reference window, click the Browse Project button in the

Open VI section.

d. In the Select VI window that opens, expand the tree view for your device, select the VI under

your device and click OK.

e. Click OK in the Configure Open FPGA VI Reference window.

f. Save the VI.

11. On the front panel, select your FlexRIO device from the RIO Device drop-down listbox.

12. In the Image Width and Image Height spin boxes, enter the values that match the camera output.

13. The value of the Trigger Pulse Width (us) spin box will control the pulse width of the frame

trigger that is sent to the camera on Camera Link control line 1. Set this value to satisfy the pulse

width requirements of the camera in use.

14. Set the Start Serial Server button to true to enable the serial server. The button illuminates when

true. You can use the serial server to communicate with the camera, and configure the camera using

the configuration utility provided by the camera manufacturer.

15. On the front panel of the 1-Tap 10-Bit Camera with Frame Trigger (Host).vi, click the Run

button to run the VI. Check if the Module Enabled and Initalized status indicators are lit. If

Module Enabled is not lit, verify the NI 1483 adapter module is properly connected to the

NI FlexRIO FPGA module. If Initalized is not lit, verify the camera is properly connected and

powered on.

NI 1483R User Guide and Specifications 10 ni.com

16. If the camera is not configured for triggering using Camera Link control line 1, configure it using

the camera manufacturer’s configuration utility. Verify the camera width and height configuration

matches the values entered in the Image Width and Image Height spin boxes. The host VI must be

running for the manufacturer’s configuration utility to be able to communicate with the camera.

17. Once the camera is configured, click the Acquire button on the VI front panel. Clicking Acquire

initiates a single-frame acquisition. If the camera is properly configured, it will not output a frame

until a trigger is provided. Supply a trigger by sending a pulse on TTL I/O 0 or by clicking the

SW Trigger button. Repeat this step to acquire another image.

18. Click the STOP button to stop the VI.

19. Close the VI.
