Hi everyone, I have experience with LabVIEW and now have been trying to learn LabVIEW FPGA. I am using PXIe-7975R Digitizer inside a PXIe Chassis and am communicating to this Chassis using an MXI-Express Link x8 system. I have been trying to follow this youtube tutorial: LabVIEW procedure: Make your first FPGA application. I arrived at one issue. In the tutorial, the person adds their target under the Project tree directly. In my application, I am only able to add it under my Computer which makes it a different level. Is this because the Digitizer card I am using is only a target while MyRIO used in the tutorial is a device of its own? What is the difference between a device or a target? The reason why I am asking this is because I actually can't get through the tutorial because I/O Pins become an issue. In the tutorial, they are creating the FPGA Test Bench VI and place a Desktop Execution Node down, after doing so, terminal configuration window pops up. In the tutorial, this is what they see (forum Question 1 .PNG). They first select front panel controls and indicators (Front Pannel Controls and Indicators.PNG) and I am able to do this as well (), and then they select simulated I/O (simulated.PNG). When I try to go through these steps, I am only able to select the front panel controls and indicators which I believe is because I was able to add the Target under MyComputer instead of the Project which would give it the same hierarchy level as MyComputer. I'm not really sure where to go from here and am new to working with FPGAs and LabVIEW FPGA, any guidance or help is appreciated. Screenshots of the tutorial steps when I try to do them are labeled as Select VI tree.PNG and available resources.PNG. I cannot access direct I/O connections to the FPGA and thus cannot finish the FPGA Desktop Execution Node Configuration.
