  • igenclassrntag.png FIFO Out —

    FIFO Out returns the FIFO you specify in the FIFO Properties dialog box.

    • Use the Read and Write methods to read from or write to the VI-defined FIFO. FIFOs are initially empty. If you reset the FPGA VI, LabVIEW clears the FIFO.

    If you use a VI-defined FIFO in a reentrant FPGA VI, LabVIEW creates a separate copy of the FIFO for each instance of the VI to avoid resource conflicts.

    You can create a VI-defined FIFO with the same name as a target-scoped FIFO or DMA FIFO. You also can create VI-defined FIFOs with the same name in different VIs. However, you cannot create multiple VI-defined FIFOs with the same name in the same VI.
