Interactive Test Panel does not get updated
If the Scan Engine is not transitioned from Configuration to Active mode after the FPGA VI is
run, SoftMotion will display a number of errors.
1.
Make sure the FPGA VI is running either in Iteractive mode or started using the Open
FPGA VI Reference VI.
2.
Transition the Scan Engine from Configuration to Active mode. If the Scan Engine was not
automatically transiotioned from Configuration to Active mode, close the Interactive Test
Panel and perform the following steps:
a.
Right Click on the CompactRIO target in the project.
b.
Select Utilities
»
Scan Engine Mode
»
Configuration.
c.
Repeat this step to change the mode to Active.
Once this is complete, the axis
parameters will be sent to the FPGA VI and SoftMotion’s engine will be
activated.
3.
Launch the Interactive Test Panel.
