Issue Details

I'd like to use the same FPGA VI for multiple FPGA bitfiles. How can I do this? 

Solution

You can achieve this by configuring your FPGA VI references to be dynamic. Right-click on the Open FPGA VI Reference sub-VI, and select Configure Open FPGA VI Reference. Within the pop-up dialog, select the checkbox for Dynamic mode.

You can then access those inputs and outputs from any FPGA bitfile, while the behavior of the sub-VI will change depending on which bitfile is loaded.
