This repository contains miscellaneous script for various purposes. More information can be found here.

gen_cfg.py

This script generates the whole configuration folder necessary to run the IOC.

Notes

$ gen_cfg_example/
$ ├── NiFpga_fpga_all_example.lvbitx
$ ├── NiFpga_fpga_all_example.h
$ ├── cfg.csv
$ └── RT.list

• NiFpga_fpga_all_example.h: Header file generated with FPGA C API
• RT.list: If SM is enabled, this file must exist, and should contain the order of the variables in the labview RT VI (content automatically generated)
• NiFpga_fpga_all_example.lvbitx: bit stream. It will only be copied by the script to the destination folder
• cfg.csv : example of an already filled cfg.csv file. The script generates a template that will be filled by the user

RT variable naming in RT.list file

Must abide by the following syntax RT_VARTYPE_VARNAMEX. VARNAME must be one of the following

• AI, AO, BI, BO, WF

X can be a unique number assigned by the user. The VARTYPE has to be one of the following

• BOL, DBL, SGL, I64, I32, I16, I08, U64, U32, U16, U08

In case of waveforms (WF), the variable name must be followed by the array number of elements

crio-ioc.cmd

This is the standard cmd file. Can be used as is.

labview2018vm.sh

This script launches the VM that has the Labview 2018 32-bits running on a windows 10 64-bit machine (tesla)

Running example

$ ./labview2018vm
