NI RFSG integration with FPGA Read write Parrarel Execution

Hello everyone,

                   I hope you all are good. I have PXI 1075 which TWO 5644R are connected. I have to read signal from DIO connector and generate RF on both at real time. But I am not able to do so. I get error of reference, Like at the same time I am only able to use RFSG refercne or FPGA  not both. I have installed 2012 IDL and instrument driver FPGA extension but still error is coming. So I am reading FPGA from 2nd 5644R and generating RF on 1st. I have to do both in single 5644R. Kindly providy any sample code thorugh which I can do both I.E Read FPGA IO Node usinf DIO connector and generate RF using RFSG using single 56444. Your help will be appreciated

Hey Zarrar,

 

With the FPGA extensions you should be able to use the FPGA along RFSG, however, you will be limited to the FPGA extension bitfile. In other words, you will not be able to modify the FPGA and use the RFSG at the same time.

 

Here is more information about the extensions:

Here are the available 5644 extensions and example files.

Hey Zarrar, you'll need to use the 'Open Dynamic Bitfile Reference' construct in order to open an FPGA reference that RFSA/G has already opened:odbr.PNGThe ODBR may not be available in LV 2012. I think it became available in LV 2013, but you can check your help file.

Can you share any example in which yu have opened dynamic refernce and called bit file and NI RFSG together. Kindly share any VI It will be really helpful. Thank You
