FPGA PXIe-7856R appears in NI MAX but not in LabVIEW project tree

[alessandro_ccm-ita]

I installed the PXIe-7856R FPGA module in a PXIe-1092 chassis with a PXIe-8862 controller, and I’m using (1) LabVIEW 2022 Q3, (2) LabVIEW Real-Time 2022 Q3, (3) LabVIEW FPGA 2022 Q3, and (4) NI R Series Multifunction RIO 2025 Q3.

The issue is that the module appears correctly in NI MAX, but it does not show up in the LabVIEW project tree. What could be causing this?

The installation was done in the recommended order.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Alessandro,

Unlike NI MAX, a LabVIEW project does not automatically adds targets / modules that are currently connected to your computer. You need to add them explicitly depending on your project's needs.

First, add a PXI target:

Right-click the project root > New > Targets and Devices... > Existing target or device > Discover an existing target(s) or device(s) > Select your PXI > OK

Secondly, you may also need to add the FPGA target:

Right-click the newly added PXI target in your project > New > Targets and Devices... > Discover an existing target(s) or device(s) > Select your FPGA > OK

Regards,

Raphaël.
