Additional Information
With the release of LabVIEW FPGA Module 2011, the number of DMA Channels is now accessible to the user via LabVIEW as well. From the Project Explorer you can discover DMA information about your FPGA targets including CompactRIO, R Series, and FlexRIO. Complete the following steps to access this information:
- Open your FPGA Project
- Right-click on the FPGA Target and select Properties
- In the General tab scroll down until you can read the information about Number of DMA Channels
NOTE: Remember that when you use the FPGA in Scan Mode or Hybrid Mode, two of the DMA channels are reserved for the Scan Engine.
These steps can be followed even if you do not have access to the physical hardware. You can create a project and add your FPGA target to project as New targets or devices instead of Existing targets or devices.
