Overview
Find all of the resources you need to customize a system for your specific application by searching NI Developer Zone for example code, reference designs, and community resources. For instance, the IPNet hosts an assortment of NI LabVIEW FPGA IP that can help you shorten your design process.
National Instruments is committed to providing global service solutions to individual engineers, large organizations, integrators, or OEMs. These services are designed to meet your needs throughout the application life cycle – from planning and development through deployment and ongoing maintenance.
Below are specific examples of products and services you can use in your system design.
C Series Module Developers Kit
The NI CompactRIO Module Development Kit includes CompactRIO module development software, the CompactRIO I/O Module Development Kit user manual, and housing module shells with connectors from the following packages: NI cRIO-9952, cRIO-9954, and cRIO-9955 (quantity of three each).
Third-Party CompactRIO Modules
Visit the third-party CompactRIO module developers page to learn more about the variety of ready-made C Series modules, including those listed below, for signal and bus technologies.
- Wireless and mobile
- Communications bus and protocol
- Vehicle design and prototype
- Motion
- Analog and digital I/O
If timing, budget, or technical constraints prevent you from designing your own module, you can use these qualified CompactRIO custom module design companies to fabricate a module that meets your exact specifications.
Reference Designs
System-level Reference Designs reduce your time-to-market. NI Reference Designs are application-oriented examples from NI systems engineers based on proofs of concept that NI creates for its customers. Unlike shipping examples that demonstrate product features, reference designs demonstrate how to design and integrate systems. NI publishes these examples to share its application recommendations with the user community. Board-Level Reference Designs use National Instruments and third-party board-level design tools to customize your CompactRIO and NI Single-Board RIO design. To define custom C Series modules, accessories, breakout boards, or connectors, you can use schematic capture and integrated layout software.
