LabView and myRIO

[Sibz]

Hello everyone.

I am new to LabVIEW and NI myRIO. I had a question about the working of the myRIO device. When you compile your FPGA code or block-diagram on LabVIEW and run it, does the processing after compilation happen on myRIO or LabVIEW? What I mean to ask is that if I have simple block diagram where lets say I am taking the output of accelerometer and managing the speed of a simple DC motor accordingly by applying some checks using a math-script. Accelerometer is built in myRIO and the motor is connected to a PWM port of myRIO. So when I run the code is the processing being done on myRIO or on LabVIEW or both of them?

Where is the processing for the checks (in the block diagram) being done?  

It will be great if someone could explain it to me in simplest form possible.

Thanks.

Hi Sibz,

you see the location of the VI in your LabVIEW project tree!

When the VI is under "My computer" it will run on your computer.

When the VI is located under "myRIO" it will run on this myRIO.

And you surely guess what happens with VIs in the FPGA subtree…

Thanks alot GerdW sir.

Just one more thing. Is there any document or reading material for this topic?

Hi sibz,

try this… 😄
