Complete the following steps to create a reader FIFO on an FPGA target for peer-to-peer streaming. For non-FPGA targets, refer to the specific FPGA target documentation for information about creating a peer-to-peer stream.

Note   Not all FPGA targets support peer-to-peer FIFOs. Refer to the Target Information box on the General page of the FPGA Target Properties dialog box for more information about peer-to-peer support for your target.
  1. Right-click an FPGA target in the Project Explorer window and select New»FIFO from the shortcut menu.
  2. In the FIFO Properties dialog box, select Peer to Peer Reader from the Type pull-down menu. If Peer to Peer Reader is unavailable in the pull-down menu, the target is not capable of peer-to-peer FIFOs.
  3. Enter a name in the Name text box. The FIFO name appears in FIFO Method Nodes, so consider naming the FIFO to make applications more readable on the block diagram. For example, you might want to use the name FIFO Reader.
  4. Finish configuring the FIFO and click the OK button to close the dialog box.
  5. Create an FPGA VI for the reader. The VI must be under the same FPGA target as the peer-to-peer FIFO.
  6. Create a reference to the reader in the VI hosting the stream session.
