Confirming that Measurement & Automation
Explorer (MAX) Recognizes the Device
Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your NI hardware. MAX
informs other programs about which devices reside in the system and how they are configured.
MAX is automatically installed with FlexRIO Support.
1. Launch MAX by navigating to Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI MAX or
by clicking the NI MAX desktop icon.
2. In the Configuration pane, double-click Devices and Interfaces to see the list of installed
devices. Installed devices appear under the name of their associated chassis.
3. (PXI and PXI Express devices only) Expand your Chassis tree item. MAX lists all
devices installed in the chassis. Your default device names may vary.
Note If you do not see your hardware listed, press <F5> to refresh the list of
installed devices. If the device is still not listed, power off the system, ensure
the device is correctly installed, and restart.
4. (Controllers for FlexRIO only) Your device appears under the Remote Devices section.

Component-Level Intellectual Property (CLIP)
The LabVIEW FPGA Module includes component-level intellectual property (CLIP) for HDL
IP integration. FlexRIO devices support two types of CLIP: user-defined and socketed.
•User-defined CLIP allows you to insert HDL IP into an FPGA target, enabling VHDL
code to communicate directly with an FPGA VI.
•Socketed CLIP provides the same IP integration of the user-defined CLIP, but it also
allows the CLIP to communicate directly with circuitry external to the FPGA. Adapter
module socketed CLIP allows your IP to communicate directly with both the FPGA VI
and the external adapter module connector interface.
The FlexRIO adapter module ships with socketed CLIP items that add module I/O to the
LabVIEW project.
NI 5752/5752B CLIP
The NI 5752/5752B ships with the following CLIP items:
1. NI 5752 IO Module—This CLIP provides access to thirty-two analog input channels,
sixteen digital output lines, and two digital input lines. This CLIP also contains a SPI
interface to program the ADC registers. In the NI 5752/5752B IO Module CLIP, each
Sample Clock cycle generates a sample from the analog input channels. The following
clock sources are available and are selectable using the SampleClkSrcSelect control.
• 50 MHz onboard oscillator
• DStarA through IOModSyncClock
• External clock through the front panel SMB connector
Only external sample clock rates from 25 MHz to 50 MHz are supported with this CLIP.
Each 12-bit sample is output to LabVIEW as an I16 data type. The 12-bit data is left-
justified and padded with 4 zeros in the LSBs. The data is clocked out of the CLIP on
Data Clock.
2. NI 5752 Multidevice Synchronization—This CLIP provides access to thirty-two analog
input channels, sixteen digital output lines and two digital input lines. This CLIP also
contains a SPI interface to program the ADC registers. For applications requiring
synchronization across multiple NI 5752/5752B modules, this CLIP is recommended. For
more details on multidevice synchronization, refer to KnowledgeBase 5AN9QBLY at
ni.com/support.
In the NI 5752/5752B Multidevice Synchronization CLIP, each Sample Clock cycle
generates a sample from the analog input channels. DStarA is the only Sample Clock that
is routed. Only Sample Clock rates from 25 MHz to 50 MHz are supported with this
CLIP. Each 12-bit sample is output to LabVIEW as an I16 data type. The 12-bit data is
12 | ni.com | NI 5752/5752B Getting Started Guide

left-justified and padded with 4 zeros in the LSBs. You must rout DStarA to the CLIP
from LabVIEW FPGA. The data is clocked out of the CLIP on Data Clock.
Related Information
Refer to the FlexRIO Help for more information about FlexRIO CLIP items, how to configure
the NI 5752/5752B with a socketed CLIP, and for a list of available socketed CLIP signals.
Clocking
The NI 5752/5752B clock source controls the sample rate and other timing functions on the
device. The following table contains information about the possible NI 5752/5752B clock
sources.

Sync Clock
(DStarA)
Sync Clock (DStarA) is only available on NI PXI
Express FlexRIO FPGA modules (such as the
NI PXIe-796xR). DStarA is not available on
NI-793xR controllers for FlexRIO or NI PXI FlexRIO
FPGA modules (such as the NI PXI-795xR). On PXI
Express modules, Sync Clock is driven by the DStarA
from the PXI/PXIe backplane.
If you change the frequency of Sync Clock (DStarA)
or CLK IN (when used as the Sample Clock), you
must assert Force Initialization.
