Abort and Reset methods do not execute on incoming error-

[suni]

Hi,

I am using labview 8.6. Can i use  reset method in my host vi to reset my FPGA VI? Thanks

The help explains what the Reset button does:

• Reset—Aborts and resets the FPGA VI on the FPGA target to the default state of the VI. This method sets the FPGA VI controls and indicators to their default states, sets uninitialized shift registers to their default values, clears FIFOs, and sets global variables to their default values. This method does not reset memory. If an error occurred before this method runs, the method runs normally and passes the error in value to error out. If an error occurs while this method runs, the method runs normally and merges error in and its own error status to produce error out.

What exactly is the issue you are facing? Posting code will be helpful.

Following document saying that don't connect error cluster in host vi to reset method. That is why i asked.

Oh that's a good catch. An applications engineer who is assigned this forums post should probably file a documentation CAR. Here is the Help for 8.6 and here is the link to the 8.6 ReadMe and 8.6.1 Known Issues.

Suni, I would go with what what's recommended in the link that you posted.

Thank you for posting this bug,  FYI if something is on one of our known issues documents then it has already been filed.

For future reference this is Corrective Action Report (CAR)135570.
