CompactRIO configuration

Hi Zach-H

Can i just only add my vi to the project  ?

This still depends on how you plan on using the FPGA. 

Like I mentioned in my last message "There are some special steps you'll need to go through to use the 9870 in scan interface mode as described in the help here."

If that's the case you go with, yes you will need to add that VI to the project underneath the cRIO controller. Make sure the COM port in the VI you posted is set to the correct port address for the 9870 after you follow those instruction to set it up. 

If you need more information for how to set up your project/Real-Time application I recommend going through the Getting started with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module manual.

hi Zach-H

In the MAX , underneath my cRIO softwares i see "NI serial RT 3.6.0" .

is it other softwares to install for NI 9870 ?

regards

[Zach-H]

It still depends on how you plan on using the FPGA. (Scan Interface or FPGA Module)

If you're in scan interface, follow the help document that I posted for you and install the scan engine support for 9870. 

If you're planning on using the FPGA module you should check out the help documentation on how to use it here.

Hi Zach-H

I want to use the NI 9870 with FPGA module.

The example of NI 9870 which is in LV, I have already used it in my LV project.

Now I want to restore it in the examples.

can u tell me how restore it and thx

[Zach-H]

It looks like you removed the actual example. I'd recommend saving an copy of the example in a new directory next time and working on that. 

I believe you'll need to replace the a folder called "Serial Loopback" at the following directory: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\CompactRIO\Module Specific\NI 987x (that's the directory on my machine for LabVIEW 2011)

I've attached a zipped version of the folder for you to replace the folder with. Let me know if that does the trick.

I've attached a zipped version of the folder of my LV project

These VIs have moved from the LV example to my project

But i dont know why these errors in VIs and how to correct them

Hi

I have already moved the exemple to my project CompactRIO, but when i want to run a VI for example the " 900x 9870 DMA Config (Sub).vi "

I find these errors

Can u explain why these errors and how correct them

[Zach-H]

It appears you may not have the FPGA module installed. Do you see it in Measurement and Automation explorer under My System>>Software>>LabVIEW (version)>>FPGA

To better illustrate what I mean see the image below:

Hi Zach-H

This my MAX:

What is missing to install ?
