If the FPGA target you use supports Interactive Front Panel Communication, when you click the Run button on a new or changed FPGA VI, LabVIEW downloads the FPGA VI to the FPGA automatically after the compile completes. LabVIEW does not download the FPGA VI if it is already on the FPGA target. You can force a download by right-clicking the FPGA VI in the Project Explorer window and selecting Download from the shortcut menu. You also can programmatically force the FPGA VI to download.

Note You can download and run only one FPGA VI at a time on a single FPGA target. If you download a second VI to the FPGA target, the second VI overwrites the first VI. |
