How to download a table of data to the FPGA

[esrgb]

I m using an PCI7813R FPGA board and  I'm trying to download a table of data into the FPGA.  How can I do this as fast as possible and so I can easily index each data row in the fpga.  The length of the table can be variable from run to run.  A block of memory where in I could write from the host would be the best solution I think, but I don't think this is possible.

Does anyone have some ideas about doing this?

Hi esrgb,

As you probably noticed, it's not possible to use a table in LabVIEW FPGA. Therefore you will have to go through an array. Keep the following in mind however when using an array:

Now unlike you think, there is a block of memory available on the FPGA itself which you can address straight from your FPGA code, for examples see:

There is also a tutorial available which discusses the use of clusters and array in general in LV FPGA.
