NI 5761 Component-Level Intellectual Property (CLIP)
The LabVIEW FPGA Module includes a feature for HDL IP integration called CLIP. NI FlexRIO
devices support two types of CLIP: user-defined and socketed.
•User-defined CLIP allows users 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 functionality of the user-defined CLIP, but 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.
Figure 3 shows the relationship between an FPGA VI and CLIP.

The NI 5761 ships with socketed CLIP items that are used to add module I/O to the LabVIEW project.
The NI 5761 ships with the following CLIP items:
•NI 5761 Multiple Sample CLIP—Generates two samples per clock cycle at a clock rate that is
half the sample rate. The default sample rate is 250 MHz, which sets the default clock rate for this
CLIP at 125 MHz. You can set a lower sample rate by using an external Sample clock. This CLIP
provides access to four analog input channels, eight PFI lines, and an input clock selector that can
be configured to use one of the following settings:
– Internal Sample clock
– Internal Sample clock locked to an external Reference clock through the CLK IN connector
– External Sample clock through the CLK IN connector
– Internal Sample clock locked to an external Reference clock through IoModSyncClock
– External Sample clock through IoModSyncClock
This CLIP also contains an engine to program the CLK chip and ADCs, either through predetermined
settings for an easier instrument setup or through a raw SPI address and data signals for a more advanced
setup. The NI 5761 Multiple Sample CLIP is the default CLIP.
•NI 5761 Single Sample CLIP—Generates one sample per clock cycle at a default sample rate of
250 MHz. You can set a lower sample rate by using an external Sample clock. This CLIP provides
access to four analog input channels, eight PFI lines, and an input clock selector that can be
configured to use one of the following settings:
– Internal Sample clock
– Internal Sample clock locked to an external Reference clock through the CLK IN connector
– External Sample clock through the CLK IN connector
– Internal Sample clock locked to an external Reference clock through IoModSyncClock
– External Sample clock through IoModSyncClock
This CLIP also contains an engine to program the CLK chip and ADCs, either through predetermined
settings for an easier instrument setup or through a raw SPI address and data signals for a more advanced
setup.
Refer to the NI FlexRIO Help in the LabVIEW Help for more information about NI FlexRIO CLIP items,
configuring the NI 5761 with a socketed CLIP, and a list of available socketed CLIP and provided
signals.
Cables
Use the NI CMD-to-CMD cable (NI part number 763194-01) or the NI CMD Single-ended to Pigtail
cable (NI part number 763191-01) to connect signals to your AUX I/O connector. Use any 50 ΩSMA
cable to connect signals to the other connectors on the front panel of your NI 5761. For more information
about connecting I/O signals on your device, refer to the Specifications section of this document.

Clocking
The NI 5761 clocks control the sample rate and other timing functions on the device. Table 3 contains
information about the possible NI 5761 clock resources.
Using Your NI 5761R with a LabVIEW FPGA Example VI
The NI FlexRIO Adapter Module Support software includes a variety of example projects to help get
you started creating your LabVIEW FPGA program. This section explains how to use an existing
LabVIEW FPGA example project to generate and acquire samples with the NI 5761R. This example
requires at least one SMA cable for connecting signals to your NI 5761R.
Note Examples available for your device are dependent on the device-specific minimum software
requirements. For more information about software requirements for your device, visit ni.com/
info and enter rdsoftwareversion as the Info Code to determine which minimum software
versions you need for your device.
Each NI 5761R example project includes the following components:
• A LabVIEW FPGA VI that can be compiled and run embedded in FPGA hardware
• A VI that runs in LabVIEW for Windows and interacts with the LabVIEW FPGA VI
Note In NI application software, NI FlexRIO adapter modules are referred to as IO Modules.
Complete the following steps to run an example that acquires a waveform on CH 0 of the NI 5761.
1. Connect one end of an SMA cable to CH 0 on the front panel of the NI 5761 and the other end of
the cable to your device under test (DUT).
2. Launch LabVIEW.
3. In the Getting Started window, click Find Examples to display the NI Example Finder.
4. In the NI Example Finder window, select Hardware Input and Output»FlexRIO»IO Modules»
NI 5761.
5. Select NI 5761 - Getting Started.lvproj.
6. In the Project Explorer window, open NI 5761 - Getting Started (Host).vi under My Computer.
The host VI opens. This VI uses the NI 7952R as the FPGA target by default. If you are using an
NI FlexRIO FPGA module other than the NI 7952R, complete the following steps to change to an
FPGA VI that supports your target.
a. Select Window»Show Block Diagram to open the VI block diagram.
b. On the block diagram, right-click the Open FPGA VI Reference (PXI-7952R) function and
select Configure Open FPGA VI Reference.

Note To ensure proper device operation, DC-coupled channels on the NI 5761 must see 50 Ωat DC
looking back at their source. If you are connecting a to source with an output impedance less than
50 Ω, you can add series resistance close to the source to properly bias the NI 5761 input terminals.
You can also use the NI 5761 input channel bias DACs to remove DC offset present in the system.
For more information about programming the bias DACs, refer to the NI 5761 CLIP topics in the
NI FlexRIO Help.
