How do I use FPGA and IMAQ at the same time?

[Tentotheminus9]

Hi,

I have a vi that displays an image via a CCD and IMAQ card, and to use this vi I target my PXI box via its IP address. I have a second vi that outputs a signal via my FPGA card, and to use this I target the FPGA emulator. What I need is to have the FPGA output AND the IMAQ streaming image onscreen at the same time, but I don't know how to do this as it requires me to target two different things. How do I do it?

Cheers,

Rob.

You will need to create an interface VI for your FPGA device. See the FPGA Interface User Guide

You will first need to target your FPGA Device and create a personality. This is the VI that will run on your FPGA target.

You will than create a host VI that can communicate to the FPGA VI. This host VI can run in RT or Windows. In your case it will run in RT (when you target an ip address you are targeting an RT system). This host VI running in RT can contain the FPGA interface functions as well as the functions necessary to read the images.
