Moving IP Integration Nodes to Another Computer

As you configure and use the IP Integration Node, LabVIEW generates several support files to disk. You must keep these files with the VI that contains the IP Integration Node.

If you move the VI that contains this Node to another folder on disk or another computer, or you check the VI into source control, move these files along with the VI. Otherwise, you will need to regenerate the support files on the new computer.

Note As you prepare to move files, including the source and support files, you must retain the directory structure, including the VI that contains the IP Integration Node.

When moving VIs to another computer, keep the following files with the VI:

  • The synthesis files you specify on the Name and Source page, including the following generated files:
    • (If the IP includes Xilinx IP configuration files) Any files in the (Xilinx ISE) xco_filename\XcoGeneratedFiles directory or the (Xilinx Vivado) xci_filename\XciGeneratedFiles directory. The (Xilinx ISE) xco_filename\XcoGeneratedFiles directory is located in the same directory as the .xco file itself or the (Xilinx Vivado) xci_filename\XciGeneratedFiles directory is located in the same directory as the .xci file itself.
    • (If the IP includes .ngc files) Any files in the ngc_filename\NgcGeneratedFiles\(Vivado/ISE) directory. The ngc_filename\NgcGeneratedFiles\(Vivado/ISE) directory is located in the same directory as the .ngc file itself.
    • (If the IP includes .edif files) Any files in the edif_filename\EdifGeneratedFiles\(Vivado/ISE) directory. The edif_filename\EdifGeneratedFiles\(Vivado/ISE) directory is located in the same directory as the .edif file itself.
  • Any simulation files you specify in the Set Simulation Behavior dialog box.
  • All generated simulation files, which are located in the IP_name\SimFiles directory. The IP_name directory is located in the same directory as the top-level synthesis file. You define the IP Name by using the IP Name text box on the Name and Source page of the configuration dialog box.
    Note Do not use the same IP Name for more than one IP Integration Node. If you do use the same name for more than one IP Integration Node and generate a simulation model, LabVIEW displays a warning to prevent you from overwriting the simulation files of another node.
