After compiling the RIO code to the RIO, will it autrun at poweron?

[jksfiftyfive]

I've written and compiled my RIO code, and it seems to be working correctly on the PXI-7833R.  Now do I need to do anything else to have it autorun at poweron?  Or will it already do that?  My HW is not all here yet, so I can't test it completely.  Thanks for your help.

Hi Billy,

Once you receive your hardware, you can configure the FPGA target to Autoload on Startup or reboot: this setting can be reached by: right click on the FPGA target>>Rio Device Setup>>Device Settings Tab

Good luck

Hi Billy,

One more thing you will have to do have your FPGA VI auto-run on power-up, is to open the FPGA Target properties page (in the LV Project) and make sure the "Run when loaded to FPGA" setting is enabled (I think in some versions of LV it used to be called something else, but not sure about it). If it is not, then enable it and recompile the FPGA VI.

JMota is right, thanks for filling in

Good luck

A related question:

CRIO RT/FPGA - Is it possible to load RT and FPGA code in such a way that cRIO power-on auto-launches the RT code which will automatically launch the FPGA code?

Yes.  You can create a startup application for the cRIO (create a build specification for your application, then right click on it and choose "Set as startup" before deploying it).  Within that application, open a reference to the FPGA bitfile and load it into the FPGA.

Additionally, if you are not able to create an RTEXE, you could also set a VI to automatically start, though the .rtexe method is highly recommended.  See this KB for more information.
