The resources on a host and an FPGA make each target better suited to different types of programming tasks.
The programming objects available in a host VI and an FPGA VI vary to match to the purpose of the VI.
This document-sensitive variation makes it easier and quicker for you to create code that is compatible for the target you
want a VI to run on.
The following table describes the differences between a host VI and an FPGA VI.
