I have a NIRIO 7833 installed and configured in my computer. I have also installed Labview 8.0 and FPGA module 8.0.
My main interest is to use this package to deal with PID VIs. As I'm new with Labview I decided to run the example "Using DIscrete PID -R Series.prj" included in the FPGA module. I have mounted a simple circuit in a breadboard in order to test this FPGA VI in "external plant mode.
The example PID VI is set for NIRIO7831, but It is indicated that it should be compatible with NIRIO 7883, so I just created a new project , added the 7883 target to this, and copied the VIs and subVIs to this new project , following the same pattern. After this, I compiled the FPGA VIs, and executed in the "simulated plant" mode, and it seems to work properly, as it shown in the Host's VI graphs and indicators (althought I cannot see the FPGA VIs running).
I have attached two FPGA I/O nodes to the FPGA VI (one analog input, and one analog output). After compling the FPGA VIs, I run the Host VI and it seems that nothing happens....if I set a probe in the Open FPGA VI Reference Node, I don't see anything...so I don't now if this node is calling the FPGA VI.
Can I ask you an explanation for this??
I would also thank you if you can provide me links where to find examples of pid FPGA VIs managed by Host Vis.
