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. Details  

VI-Scoped FIFO Configuration Details

Use the FIFO Read and FIFO Write functions to read from or write to the VI-scoped FIFO. FIFOs are initially empty. If you reset the FPGA VI, LabVIEW empties the FIFO.

If you use a VI-scoped FIFO in a reentrant FPGA VI, LabVIEW creates a separate copy of the FIFO for each instance of the VI, which avoids resource conflicts.

You can create a VI-scoped FIFO with the same name as a target-scoped FIFO or DMA FIFO. You also can create VI-scoped FIFOs with the same name in different VIs. However, you cannot create multiple VI-scoped FIFOs with the same name in the same VI.
