HI. I have recently installed NI PXI-7954 (FlexRIO FPGA) module on my PXI-1036 system. Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) is recognizing it and showing it as RIO0 under devices and Interfaces.However when I try to create LabVIEW FPGA projectby right clicking on My Computer and then selecting New>>Targets and Devices, the FPGA target does not show up. Instead I get NI-9154, 9155,9157 and 9159 as targets which are CompactRIO chassis and I do not have them. I have followed the installation instructions in NI FlexRIO FPGA module Installation guide. First I installed the software in the following order: LabVIEW 2013 LabVIEW FPGA module Drivers (NI-RIO) NI FlexRIO Adapter module support for my NI 5782R IF transciever Then I installed the hardware. First I installed NI FlexRIO FPGA module (NI-PXI7954), Then I got the confirmation from MAX that it is recognized. Then I installed the NI FlexRIO adapter module. Now that I try to create LabVIEW FPGA project, the FPGA target does not show up even on the launch screen of LabVIEW as I suppose it should. Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong? I do not want to go through installation of software and hardware again. I will appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks. Kamal

Hello kathar, Could you post your actual project and included VIs instead of just a picture of it? I found a reference to a similar error in the following linked PDF document: GETTING STARTED - NI IF Transceiver (Page 16) It recommends using a faster clock domain.

LabVIEW

Why LabVIEW does not detect FlexRIO NI PXI-7954 as a target?

Solved!

Dear All, I am happy to report that by replacing the IO Module\Data Clock with 200MHz. Clock in the FPGA VI I have been able to get successful compilation. I am enclosing the screentshot of the compilation status window. Apparently it was the clock problem which was giving me the error. The hint provided by WishKebab was very helpful. I am grateful to you all. I will now create Host VI and follow rest of the steps in NI 5782R user Manual and Specifications (page 15) and if I face any other problem then I will contact you again. Thanks once more. Kamal
