User Defined Refnum Error

[rex1030]

I am getting an error that doesn't make any sense to me. I am writing a VI that runs on a cRIO device with an eight channel FPGA backplane. I am trying to connect a FPGA Reference out of one VI to the FPGA Reference in of a sub VI. I am getting an error that states "You have connected two wires of different types. The type of the source is user defined refnum. The type of the sink is user defined refnum. "  Can someone tell me what is causing this error? I am posting a screenshot that shows the main VI in the background with the broken wire, the subvi is in the bottom left and the error messages are on the right. I am also going to post the VI, though I am not sure you will be able to open it without the rest of the project (which I cannot post). Let me know if you need the subVI as well, though.

I fixed it. I had reformatted the cRIO to install 8.6 and I needed to name the FPGA alias in MAX to what it was when we compiled it. That way the reference refers to the name in the compiled bitfile. I think.
