General FPGA Target Properties Page
Installed With: FPGA Module
Right-click an FPGA target in the Project Explorer window and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display the FPGA Target Properties dialog box. The General page appears by default.
Use this page to set general characteristics of the FPGA target.
This page contains the following components:
- Name—Specifies the name of the FPGA target that appears in the Project Explorer window.
- Resource—Specifies the FPGA target hardware. For FPGA targets that appear in NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), this is the resource or device name.
- Target Class—Displays the FPGA target class of the FPGA target you configured in the Project Explorer window. For example, the NI PXI-7831R FPGA target class is PXI-7831R. The functionality and options that you can configure on an FPGA target depend on the FPGA target class and what the FPGA target class supports. You cannot change the Target Class after you add the FPGA target to the Project Explorer window.
- VI Properties—Contains the following option:
- Run when loaded to FPGA—Specifies that FPGA VIs run automatically when you load them to the FPGA target. The availability of this option varies by FPGA target.
Note The FPGA VI you download to the flash memory automatically loads to the FPGA on the FPGA target even if you do not compile it with the Run when loaded to FPGA option. However, the VI does not run automatically. Verify that the FPGA VI is compiled with the Run when loaded to FPGA option if you want the VI to run automatically when it loads to the FPGA.
- Run when loaded to FPGA—Specifies that FPGA VIs run automatically when you load them to the FPGA target. The availability of this option varies by FPGA target.
