fpga not registered by labVIEW

[Kensington]

Hello,

Here's my problem. I bought a NI PCIe-7842R FPGA board, along with all the other required hardware listed on the NI webpage. However, it refuses to be picked up by labVIEW. The annoying thing is MAX can see it just fine.

When the card came in the box I installed the drivers, FPGA module, LabVIEW and license software that came with it. The card was then installed into the desktop computer I use. and I plugged with three cables into it. The computer was then turned on and I checked in MAX if the card was detected. After that, following the manual that came with the card all the while, I tried finding some example programs on labVIEW and arrived at my predicament. I've tried reinstalling the drivers, downloading new ones from the NI web page and replugging in the card but nothing works.

I have attached some screenshots in case they help.

Thanks,

Kensington

When you try to add a new target or device to your computer, do you get more options of what to create. Those options should only change based on the drivers installed and not on what it sees connected to your computer.

Because you are only seeing the MXI folder I would guess that this is a driver/install problem.  I would make sure you installed LabVIEW, the FPGA Module, and the RIO driver in that order.  I would also make sure to check that ADE support was selected for LabVIEW 2014 during the installation.
