Exactly how memory works in Labview Fpga
I use a PXI 7853 and me for the last few days I've been playing with the help of blocks of memory in the FPGA.
Now, I'm relatively new to Labview FPGA programming and this is why I would be grateful if someone could provide me with some clarification on the following points:
(a) given that I work on the development host computer when I initialize memory with the ability to use a memory initialization VI then how does exactly in the backend. What I want to ask is, when I change the values of the memory in the computer development and then compile the FPGA VI in the Board of Directors, what is data memory are brought in the FPGA. If this is the case then in what form are the details initially registered in the development computer.
(b) is it possible for me to use the initialization method VI to change memory n valuesi while the FPGA VI is running. If this isn't the case, then it would make a difference if I stop the VI and then change the values using the Initialize method. Who would actually reflect on the FPGA or should I have to re compile the FPGA VI whenever I change memory values in the development machine, using the "VI initialization method (which is available as an option for us do a right-click on the block of memory in the Project Explorer window).
I tried test with simulation of FPGA VI and found that when I try to change the values of memory by running VI initialization. a pop up that says that it is not possible that the FPGA VI is still in service is delivered.
Any light on this or advice with links would be much appreciated
See you soon

When you compile the FPGA VI, he will understand the values used to initialize the memory.
Are asking you what happens if you run the VI FPGA on your development computer, and your FPGA VI, written in the memory block, the new values are included when you compile the FPGA VI? No, these values will be lost. The values contained in the bitfile are the values you used to initialize the block of memory, as defined in the memory properties dialog box. The initial values are saved in the LabVIEW project file and the definition of memory block.

You will have to recompile the FPGA in order to use the new initialization values, because these values are part of the bitfile FPGA.

HELP - FPGA SPARTAN 3E-100 CP132 WORKS WITH LABVIEW FPGA?
HI EVERYONE, GET ON IM TRYING TO USE MY FPGA WITH LABVIEW, BUT I DO KNOW THAT IF ITS COMPATIBLE, I INSTALLED THE DRIVERS, MODULE FPGA AND LABVIEW 2012, IM USING WINDOWS 7 32 BIT, AND AFTER I COMPILED ITS SAYS:
LabVIEW FPGA called another software component, and the component returned the following error:
Error code:-310601
NOR-COBS: Impossible to detect the communication cable.
Check the communication cable is plugged into your computer and your target. Also, verify that the proper drivers are installed.Thank you.
=)
Hi dvaldez2.
LabVIEW FPGA offers no support for any material to third parties, other than the 3rd Spartan XUP Starter Kit. These are probably the drivers you downloaded.
http://digital.NI.com/express.nsf/bycode/Spartan3E?OpenDocument&lang=en&node=seminar_US
However, this driver supports only the Starter Kit Board itself (http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2, 400, 790 & Prod = S3EBOARD). You may not use the driver with any other Xilinx FPGAS.
I hope this helps.

Assessment for vSphere exactly how its works
Hello
I need to install two ESX4.0 on two blades and VC to manage this in addition to a DR demo for a client. Currently, I'm a little lost with licenses to test because this first time for vSphere. For ESX 3.5 in the past, I asked just for the trial keys. Now, if I understand correctly (please, correct me if I'm wrong) trial key is not needed at all and all without entering a correct serial key vSphere products will work correctly for a period of time (60 days?). So I did not need the keys at all now for a demo just download the binaries. Please confirm I'm here and takes account of the fact that I need to install TWO esx servers and a vcs. In the past I needed more licenses.
Thank you in advance
Installing vSphere, you have a license for the evaluation version. But for the virtual center you need a license to manage ESX servers.

Move from LabVIEW FPGA block of ram address to node CLIP?
Hello
I need to pass an index memory RAM of LabVIEW FPGA block to a CLIP node to the node CLIP to have access to the data in the BRAM. The node of the ELEMENT contains an IP address that we developed and the IP address is the use of Xilinx BRAM driver to access data. I guess that we need to move the physical address of the BRAM to the ELEMENT node.
Is this possible? If so, how? If this is not the case, what would be an alternative?
Thank you
Michel
If I understand you correctly, Yes, you should be able to use the memory block of the Xilinx pallet Builder in LabVIEW FPGA and in the loop of the single Cycle, connect the ports of this block signals CLIP exposed by the IP of your colleague. You may need to tweak/adapt some of the signals slightly to the LabVIEW data flow.

Acquisition of data in LabVIEW FPGA
Hello
I'm working on LabVIEW FPGA where I need to acquire data from a source and take the average. One way to do that is to continue to add each new signal to the oldest f sum and then averaged.
However, I would like to keep all of the incoming values in a file and save it. But when I tried it doing so, it gives an error message saying "table size cannot be changed. With this constraint, I am unable to write the data to a table.
Please suggest.
Thank you.
You need different acquire data, pass it to the RT, then sign in here. Impossible to use build table the FPGA as FPGA will not allow dynamic allocation of memory like that. You must preallocate the table then use replaces the subset of the table. A better way is to use DMA FIFOs. Have a look at the FPGA examples in LabVIEW for data flow. Then, on the RT, you can simply add in your files logging functions.

Version of the C API for LabVIEW FPGA 2011
What is the version of the C API that will work with LabVIEW FPGA 2011?
I guess as this one: http://www.ni.com/download/fpga-interface-c-api-2.0/2616/en/
Version numbers seem to start by 2012 years. It's the latest version I could find before 2012 and he was released in August 2011. This time coincides with the annual festivities of the NOR week where a large part of the software/hardware is released. It's a small download, so it shouldn't be difficult to download it and try it.
But, you'll still need LabVIEW FPGA development according to this white paper: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/9036/en/

Can someone explain how Vmotion works with the new Distributed vNetwork switches?
So my days of ESX 3.5 I create a separate vswitch for my virtual switch Production and another for Vmotion and then connect the physical NIC I had planned on using for the production and VMotion switch. Then I would make sure that these cards were physically connected to the trunk on the physical switch based on the vlan that I planned to use for each switch.
So how has all this change vNetwork switches Distributed? I know that the vNetwork Distributed switch is created at the data center level, but I'm a little confused on exactly how it works. I have watched white papers, but hoped that someone could explain it in terms laymans for me...
Also refer to this discussion:

I think that the last post I did on this discussion help answer some of the specifics of your question about the connection of VMotion vs other connections.

How to install the version of nor-Sync 3.1 in the remote system (processor integrated PXI chassis) to recognize the PXI-6682 device to work with labview RT?
Hung Nguyen
Hung Nguyen,
The installation of drivers for all targets in real-time remotely is more or less the same. First install the driver (in your case the NO-Sync) on your PC, then install it on your system remotely through MAX. For step-by-step instructions, see install the software on your NI CompactRIO controller.

How to measure the frequency of sampling (s/s) in LabView FPGA?
Hello
I am trying to find a way to measure the sampling frequency (s/s) during which I read from analog input in LabVIEW FPGA. I know that the sampling frequency is specified in the data sheet of the module HAVE, but I want to measure in LabVIEW.
Any suggestions?
A screenshot of the example code would be greatly appreciated
Hey phg,.
If you have some time loopand in this loop, you export a sample by iteration of loop via an I/O node. You can't out two samples on the same I/O node within an iteration, it's always one!
So if your loop takes 1 second to run you have a sampling rate of 1 Hz output. The same goes for sampling of entry. How long your loop takes to run can be calculated as explained above.
Samplerate [s / s] = 1 / [s] while loop

Use of FIFO memory on two areas of clock (Labview FPGA) block
Greetings!
I'm developing an application on the FPGA of the vector signal OR 5644R
transmitter/receiver. I have two loops single-cycle timed: a 40 MHz making a convolution
and writing a FIFO memory block and the second at 120 MHz (sample clock)
who reads from block FIFO memory and uses the following values
interpolation...Under what circumstances is it permissible to use a FIFO memory block to transfer
values of a loop from 40 MHz to a loop of 120 MHz (sample clock)?
The reason I ask the question, it is that the compilation of my code repeatedly of not
reported the error below:ERROR: HDLCompiler:69 - "/ opt/apps/NIFPGA/jobs/J9k7Gwc_WXxzSVD/Interface.vhd" line 193:
is not declared. I share for everyone's reference, screenshots of my code which is an extension of
sample 'Project streaming VST' given in NI5644R. A brief description of attachments is
given below...
1. "Top_level_FPGA_part1_modification.png": in a loop SCTL 120 MHz, a sub - vi bed FPGA
go a block FIFO memory... In fact, the reading is actually made when entry
"read_stream" is activated... (see details in read_from_fifo_true_case.png)
2. "Top_level_FPGA_part2_modification.png": a 40 MHz SCTL, wherein is a subvi FPGA
called to write the output of convolution to block FIFO memory.
3. "target_respone_fpga_block_FIFO_modification.png": an output of a convolution filter is
written in block FIFO memory each time that the convolution output is available...
'ReadBlockFIFO' VI (circled in Top_level_FPGA_part1) is invoked in a 120 MHz SCTL.
4. "read_from_fifo_false_case.png": when the input "read_stream' of this vi is false,
data transfer memory FIFO of block to a different FIFO ('generation filter") takes
place.
5. "read_from_fifo_true_case.png": when the "read_stream' is set to true, the data is read in
'Filter generation' FIFO and spent on the chain of later interpolation to the
120 MHz SCTL...
I hope that the attachments give enough clarity to what I'm doing... If we need
For more information, do not hesitate to ask...
Kind regards

Greetings!
I think I understand the problem... The error probably occurs because a DMA FIFO
(FPGA host) is playing at 40 MHz, and it is checked for the number of items in a loop
120 MHz... It is not captured by the "pre-processing" by the labview FPGA, but by the Xilinx
compilation phase synthesis tool.
A lesson I share, is that if you observe this kind of problem, watch if there is incompatibility
in the areas of the clock to access a FIFO...
Kind regards

How to import codes Verilog in LabVIEW FPGA?
I tried to import the Verilog code by instantiating followed education in http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7269557B205B1E1A86257640000910D3.
but I can still see some errors when compiling the file VI.
Test file simple Verilog is as follows:
==============================
module andtwobits (xx, yy and zz);
input xx, yy;
output reg zz;always start @(xx,yy)
ZZ<= xx="" &="">=>
end
endmodule==============================
and after you follow the above link, we have created the instantiation as file

END COMPONENT;Start

YY-online yyin);end mainVHDL1;
==============================================
Sometimes, we observe the following error when we put the flag on the output port.
ERROR: ConstraintSystem:58 - constraint

does not match design objects.and Interestingly, if we remove the indicator from the port of exit, he sucessfully compile on the LabVIEW FPGA.
Could you take a look at and please help me import Verilog to LabVIEW FPGA?
I followed the basic steps of the instantiation on the link above, but still it will not work.
Please find the attachment for all files.
-andtwobits.v: original file from Verilog
-andtwobits.ngc: file UCS
-andtwobits.vhd: VHD file after translating a simulation model
-mainVHDL.vhd: master of the instantiation
Since there is no sample file for Verilog (VHDL file, there but not for Verilog), it's a little difficult to do simple execution on LabVIEW FPGA, even for examples.
Thank you very much for your support, and I'm looking forward to seeing all your help/answer as soon as possible.
Records,
The best instructions we have for integration Verilog IP in LabVIEW FPGA can be found here: using the Verilog Modules in a component-level design. My suspicion is that you did not uncheck the option 'add the IO buffers' in the Xilinx ISE-specific Options parameter when running XST (see page 8 of the .pdf)
