You can derive additional clocks from FPGA base clocks in a LabVIEW project. Complete the following steps to derive an FPGA clock.

Note  Support of FPGA derived clocks varies by FPGA target. Refer to the specific FPGA target hardware documentation for more information.
  1. Create a new project or open an existing project.
  2. Add an FPGA target to the project.
  3. If the FPGA target you use does not automatically add the FPGA base clock you desire to the Project Explorer window, add the FPGA base clock.
  4. Right-click an FPGA base clock in the Project Explorer window and select New FPGA Derived Clock from the shortcut menu. The FPGA Derived Clock Properties dialog box appears.
    Note   If the FPGA target does not support FPGA derived clocks or the FPGA base clock you add, the New FPGA Derived Clock option is dimmed in the shortcut menu.
  5. Configure the way you want the FPGA derived clock to behave.
  6. Click the OK button. The FPGA derived clock appears in the Project Explorer window below the FPGA base clock.

You now can set the new derived clock as the top-level clock in the project.
