How to use FPGA Interface VIs without FPGA Module

[minnellac]

According to this, http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371599D-01/lvfpgahosthelp/interface_no_module/, I can use the FPGA interface vis to connect to an FPGA (on a 7833R) without installing the FPGA Module. How do I get access to those VIs? Do I have to install the module (but there is no need to activate it?) or is there something else to install that only includes the interface functionality?

Thanks,

Chris

Hey Chris,

Out of the LV Help i found:

The FPGA Interface is available with FPGA target driver software. You can use the FPGA Interface functions in a host VI if you have an FPGA target and the appropriate driver software. You do not need the LabVIEW FPGA Module to use the FPGA Interface functions. You need the FPGA Module if you want to develop FPGA VIs.

I think installing the NI RIO driver adds the palette.

You need to install NI-RIO to be able to access the FPGA VIs.  Use the same RIO as was used to compile the original code. NI RIO is available at: NI RIO
