3-8 NI-FBUS Configurator Overview
Download Tab
The Download tab shows all the status information for the last
configuration download of the bus. The NI-FBUS Configurator retains
this information until the next download. The Download tab
automatically appears on top when you begin to download your
configuration. The status information on the Download tab is also in
the Log/Notes window.
Errors Tab
The Errors tab, shown in Figure 3.6, displays all recent I/O errors,
project configuration errors, and warnings. To fix an error,
double-click the error to open the window containing the error. Some
error messages give hints about how to solve the problem. For a list of
errors, refer to Appendix, Error Messages and Warnings.
Figure 3.6 Errors Tab
The Errors tab has a drop-down list attached to the upper left corner
of the window. Use this list to select the errors you want to see. The
All Errors selection shows all I/O and project errors, and the Project
Errors selection shows only project errors.
When you download your configuration, the NI-FBUS Configurator
checks for errors in your project. If you have a project error, the
NI-FBUS Configurator warns you and allows you to cancel the
download.
The NI-FBUS Configurator automatically regenerates error information
each time you change the project. However, you can force the
NI-FBUS Configurator to revalidate the project by clicking the OK
toolbar button in any window.
