NI CompactRIO Embedded Prototyping and Deployment System
Print
National Instruments CompactRIO delivers a general-purpose rapid prototyping platform that combines a reconfigurable digital hardware backbone with a real-time processor and modular peripheral I/O. The rugged system features highly automated National Instruments LabVIEW development tools to speed prototyping and deployment. The real-time OS and floating-point processor support almost the entire array of NI LabVIEW technical computing functions, including advanced analysis libraries and dynamic simulation models. NI and third-party vendors provide a wide variety of I/O and communication modules. A user-programmable FPGA offers a customizable digital back-end.
"CompactRIO is like the Swiss army knife of embedded systems because it combines a variety of I/O options with a processor and FPGA," said David Hill, certified developer at BioAccel.com. "We validate our logic execution engine using pure LabVIEW code so it's portable to any embedded device. Knowing the algorithms are going to execute the same on different platforms is a big advantage. Our customers are thrilled by how much this technology is speeding the development and FDA approval of new medical devices."
