Kirsten, Once you download and install the LabVIEW Memory Extension utility, you should be able to load and compile the VI given to you. The VIs given to you need to include the specific memory block used by the application.
If you want to open and edit the memory block used by the application (to change the initial values for example), you need to copy the memory block VI to the following directory. \National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.0\user.lib\FPGA Memory VIs Only this directory is parsed when the memory extension utility is started from within the LabVIEW environment (Tools->FPGA Utilities->FPGA Memory Extension Utility) Christian L NI Consulting Services
