C Series Module Properties Dialog Box for the NI 9211 (FPGA Interface)

Right-click an NI 9211 C Series module in the Project Explorer window and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display this dialog box.

Use this dialog box to configure a C Series module.

This dialog box includes the following components:

  • Name—Specifies the name of the C Series module, which appears in the Project Explorer window. LabVIEW assigns a default name to the module based on the slot number. You can use this field to give the module a descriptive name.
  • Module Type—Specifies the type of C Series module. You cannot change this option.
  • Location—Specifies a slot in the chassis for the C Series module.
  • Calibration Mode—Sets the calibration mode for the C Series module. Select Calibrated if you want the FPGA I/O Node to return calibrated, fixed-point data from the module in units of volts. The fixed-point data is signed, with a word length of 24 bits and an integer word length of –2 bits. If you select Calibrated, you must convert convert the fixed-point CJC data to binary CJC data and then convert the binary CJC data to temperature. Select Raw if you want the FPGA I/O Node to return calibrated, binary data from the module. If you select Raw, you must convert the binary thermocouple values to voltage and convert the binary CJC data to temperature. The default is Calibrated.
