Automating okFilePipe method (FPGA to PC)

FrontPanel
1

Hi all,

I am working on FPGA based testing equipment for post silicon validation. I developed GUI for the same and all looking good. I have a requirement to automate okFilePipe (Transferring data from FPGA to PC) for each run, without pressing button on the GUI. Please suggest me any method to do same ?

FPGA : XEM7310
Environment : Windows
Interface : USB 3.0

Foot note : Recently I published my work on IEEE related to above project, you can refer if interested.

I would recommend using Lua+XFP scripting to accomplish this, it is very powerful and would allow you to do some automation. You can read more about that here: FrontPanel Scripting - Opal Kelly Documentation Portal

Although, you’d have to do the file I/O within Lua instead of using the okFilePipe call.
