New Extended Temperature Range NI Single-Board RIO
NI Single-Board RIO devices are now available in extended temperature versions that feature a real-time processor, onboard field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and analog and digital I/O on a single board with a -40 to 85 °C operating temperature range. The new NI sbRIO-9602XT, sbRIO-9612XT, sbRIO-9632XT, and sbRIO-9642XT are ideal for high-volume industrial, medical, transportation, and military OEM embedded systems.

New Embedded C Series Modules
There is a suite of new board-only C Series devices available for NI Single-Board RIO to add more I/O and communication capabilities to these embedded control and acquisition devices. Each NI Single-Board RIO device has three expansion ports that you can connect to any of the board-only C Series modules. Refer to Table 1 for the latest embedded C Series modules for NI Single-Board RIO.

C Interface to LabVIEW FPGA
The C Interface to LabVIEW FPGA is a C/C++ API to NI LabVIEW FPGA targets. The new C Interface, available with LabVIEW FPGA, makes it easier for C/C++ developers to take advantage of the NI LabVIEW FPGA Module and NI FPGA-based hardware for embedded control and acquisition applications.
Figure 3. C Interface to LabVIEW FPGA
With the new C Interface developers can choose either LabVIEW or C/C++ tools to program the processor and communicate with NI FPGA hardware developed with LabVIEW. This new LabVIEW FPGA feature gives engineers and scientists with C expertise the ability to take advantage of FPGAs within their designs without the burden of learning hardware design while also giving them the option to easily reuse theirC code. This new interface supports all FPGA-based hardware from National Instruments including NI Single-Board RIO, CompactRIO, R Series FPGA I/O plug-in devices and NI FlexRIO hardware.
