Downloading Compiled FPGA VIs to the FPGA Target (FPGA Module)
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. However, 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 attempt to download a second VI to the FPGA target while the first FPGA VI is still in use, the FPGA Module reports an error and the download fails. |
