Resetting a cRIO 9144 chassis running in FPGA mode

[MarkCG]

Say you are using a cRIO 9144 ethercat chassis running custom fpga code on it. Is there a way to restart the fpga one of therese chassis, similar to how one would use on the FPGA interace method nodes when using "normal" fpga target?

Hi MarkCG,

Like you mentioned, there is no FPGA method node to reset the FPGA on a NI 9144. I think putting the scan engine in configuration then back in active should allow the FPGA to reset as it shouldn't be running during configuration. You can programmatically change the scan engine state by using the Set Scan Engine Mode VI.

Best Regards,

Hi Matthew,

I'll give that a go. I noticed that setting hte scan engine mode throught the project (right clicking on target icon and looking under "utilities" to "configuration" and back to "active" didn't seem to reset the 9144 FPGA. I will try it programmatically and report back.
