trouble with LabVIEW FPGA sample project

[hshane]

I'm attempting to adapt the sample project LabVIEW FPGA Waveform Acquisition and Logging on CompactRIO to my hardware but can't seem to get it right. I'm following the instructions in the tutorial but can't make sense out of the section Adapting this Sample Project to Your Hardware, specifically, the instruction to "Drag FPGA Main.vi from the Project Explorer window to the Open FPGA VI Reference VI function." Can anyone elaborate on what is supposed to happen here? BTW, the target hardware that I'm trying to make this work on is a cRIO-9068 with some C series I/O modules.

You are trying to set the FPGA reference that will be opened in the RT.  You should see the VI Icon of the FPGA VI your dragged show up in the Open FPGA VI Reference.  Alternatively, you could drag the generated FPGA bit file into the Open FPGA VI Reference.

I eventually stumbled across the answer. For anyone else who might run into this problem, the attached screenshot is worth a thousand words.
