I am getting more involved with Labview FPGA and am looking for options to speed up compilation times. The NI compile server options seem like very viable solutions. However, I am looking to extract the progress of the build when I am not at the development machine.
After doing some digging, it does seem like I can kick off a compilation programmatically, using the 'niFpgaBuild_Compile.vi' located C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW xxxx\vi.lib\rvi\CDR. By doing this, the Compilation Status Window does pop up (on the development machine) and shows a bunch of useful information, most important to me is the estimated progress bar information. The VI's that are in the ..\..\CDR directory are password protected, so I am unable to look at any of the block diagrams that may be used to extract the progress bar data. I have also looked into the NI Compile Console, which shows job information however it seems to lack the estimated progress data.
Does anyone know if it is possible to programmatically retrieve the estimated progress and status (queued, compiling, ect) for jobs submitted to the compile Server without being on the development machine?
