Downloads the most recent version of the compiled FPGA VI or bitfile to the FPGA target regardless of whether the compiled FPGA VI or bitfile has changed. Use this method when you want to reinitialize the FPGA VI on the FPGA target, especially when you allow the compiler to remove implicit enable signals from single-cycle Timed Loops. You must use the Open FPGA VI Reference function to open a reference to the FPGA VI before you download this FPGA VI.

Note If the Run when loaded to FPGA checkbox is enabled for your FPGA build specification, using the Download method also runs the FPGA VI on the FPGA target. Otherwise, after using the Download method, you must use the Run method to run the FPGA VI on the FPGA target.

Use the Invoke Method function to implement this method.

Option Description
FPGA VI Reference In FPGA VI Reference In is a reference to an FPGA VI. You must open a reference to the FPGA VI to use this parameter.
error in error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
FPGA VI Reference Out FPGA VI Reference Out returns a reference to an FPGA VI.
error out error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
