IS CLIP supported by Xilinx Spartan3E driver for LabVIEW 8.6?

IS CLIP supported by Xilinx Spartan3E driver for LabVIEW 8.6?

For HDL interface node, the enable chain and multi clock domain is difficult to understand:(

New version of driver that supports CLIP is posted: ftp://ftp.ni.com/evaluation/academic/spartan.zip

First uninstall your current version and then install this one.

Reidl,

Thank you for your answer.  How do I uninstall my current version?  I have looked in "Add or Remove Programs," but I don't see anything under "Xilinx" or "Spartan."  I do see an entry for "National Instruments Software."  However, when I click "Change / Remove" I don't see any entries for the Spartan Board.

I tried running the installation program, and I received the following message:

The NI LabVIEW FPGA Support for Spartan-3E 1.1.0 installation has failed with the following error.
 
You have a higher version of NI LabVIEW FPGA Support for Spartan-3E in your system.  You must uninstall it before installing this again.

What is the latest version number?  How do I check what version I currently have?

Thanks,

James Carroll

In Add/Remove programs, you should see a National Instruments Software section.  Click Add/Remove on that.  Then in the next dialog, you should see an entry for LabVIEW FPGA Support for Spartan-3E (or something similar to that).  Remove that first, then install the copy I've posted to get CLIP support.

Reid,

Thanks.  I found it and successfully installed the other driver.
