Click the Configure button on the FPGA Module Options dialog box to display this dialog box. You also can click the Configure button on the Error Contacting Server dialog box to display this dialog box.

Use this dialog box to set the directory for temporary files used during compilation, the location of the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server, the network communication parameters, and other device-specific options.

This dialog box includes the following components:

• Compile Client—Contains the following option:
  • Client Working Directory—Displays the directory where temporary build files exist. LabVIEW does not automatically delete the temporary files, but you can safely delete the contents of the directory manually. Do not delete the directory. Although the installer automatically sets this directory, you can change the location if you want to use a directory other than the default. The default is C:\NIFPGA82\clntTmp.
• Compile Server—Sets options for the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server you use to compile FPGA VIs. This section contains the following options:
  • Machine—Specifies the computer on which the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server is installed. By default, the FPGA Module uses the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server installed on the local computer, called localhost. However, you can install the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server on a remote computer if you want to compile an FPGA VI remotely. To specify a remote LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server, enter the name or IP address of the remote computer running the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server. On the remote computer, launch the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server manually by selecting Tools»FPGA Module»Start Local Compile Server. You also can select Start»All Programs»National Instruments»LabVIEW 8.2»LabVIEW FPGA Utilities»Compile Server to launch the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Server.
  • Port—Specifies the port for TCP communication between the client and the server. Choose a port that is not used on the network because LabVIEW does not reserve a TCP port.
  • Network Timeouts (ms)—Sets the TCP timeout value. Increase this value if you receive network timeout errors.
