C Series Module Properties Dialog Box for the NI 9403 (FPGA Interface)

Right-click an NI 9403 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.
  • Channels—Specifies the channel(s) for which you want to select the line direction.
  • Selected Channel(s) Settings—Specifies the line direction for each channel.
    • DirectionSets the line direction for the selected channel(s) to digital input or digital output. The default is digital input.
  • Disable Arbitration—Place a checkmark in this checkbox if you want to change the arbitration setting to Never Arbitrate and reduce the amount of FPGA logic used by VIs. Check this box only if you are sure that the design of the FPGA VI will never allow more than one digital function to execute at the same time, even on different channels. If more than one digital function could execute simultaneously in the FPGA VI, leave the box unchecked to keep the default Arbitrate if Multiple Requestors Only arbitration setting.
