FPGA Memory

[lightmiddle]

Hi :

     I am using a PXI 7833R card , and there are 190K memory on board.

     I am trying to use the LabVIEW FPGA Module Memory Extension Utility. However when I wanna creat more memory blocks, it is limited by the icons. There are only 4 icons by default, so when I wanna creat 8 same-size memory block, I can only get 4 out of them.

    Anybody knows how to creat icons or solve this problem by another way? I tried the creaticon VI, not work.

Thanks in advance.

The number of memory blocks you create is not limited by the number of icons. You can create as many memory blocks as you like with the same icon. The critical item to differentiate each memory block is the name of the VI. As you create multiple memory blocks of the same size and type it will append a different number to the name of the VI for each memory block, even though they will all have the same icon.

Using the memory extension utility you can open the VI for each memory block and then you can edit the icon to make it different for each memory block. When the VI is open, simply double click on the icon in the top right corner of the front panel window, which will open the icon editor for the current VI. Make the changes to the icon, click on Ok, and then save the VI.
