Use the Memory functions to access memory on an FPGA. Use the FIFO functions to transfer data.

Note  This palette is specific to FPGA targets.

The VIs and functions on this palette can return general LabVIEW error codes, specific FPGA Module error codes, or error codes specific to the FPGA target. Refer to the specific FPGA target hardware documentation for information about target-specific error codes.

Palette Object	Description
FIFO Read	Reads the oldest element in an FPGA FIFO and removes the element from the FIFO.
FIFO Write	Writes an element to an FPGA FIFO.
Memory Read	Reads from memory available on the FPGA target. Use the Memory Read function in conjunction with the Memory Write function.
Memory Write	Writes to memory available on the FPGA target. Use the Memory Write function in conjunction with the Memory Read function.
VI-Scoped FIFO Configuration	Represents a VI-scoped FIFO. Right-click the node and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display the FPGA FIFO Properties dialog box. Use the FPGA FIFO Properties dialog box to configure the VI-scoped FIFO.
VI-Scoped Memory Configuration	Represents a VI-scoped memory item. Right-click the node and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display the Memory Properties dialog box. Use the Memory Properties dialog box to configure the VI-scoped memory item.
