LabVIEW 8.0 Cannot Find My CVS FPGA Target Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-RIOPrimary Software Version: 2.0 Primary Software Fixed Version: 2.0 Secondary Software: N/A Hardware: Image Acquisition (IMAQ)>>Compact Vision System
Problem: I'm trying to target the FPGA on my Compact Vision System (CVS) using LabVIEW 8.0. When I try to add an existing FPGA target under the CVS in the Project Window, the FPGA isn't found! Why is this happening? Solution: Some older versions of NI-RIO (which is used, in part, by NI-IMAQ I/O) have an outdated version of the Discover Devices function. This function is used to scan a target for available FPGA devices and report them back to LabVIEW. The outdated version wasn't able to detect the FPGA device on some CVSs. A new version of the function that works with all CVSs is given below. To install it, place the nirio_Discover Devices VI in the following directory: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\Targets\NI\FPGA\RIONote: You will be prompted to overwrite the file. This is okay, since you're installing the new version over the old. Related Links: Attachments:
