Creating Custom Hardware from LabVIEW (FPGA Module)
When standard hardware did not meet your requirements for a specific application prior to the FPGA Module, you had to create a custom hardware design using low-level hardware description languages. With the FPGA Module, you do not need to know a hardware description language to design a specific hardware solution—you just need LabVIEW. With the FPGA Module, you can design and rapidly develop hardware components with the power of LabVIEW graphical programming.
The FPGA Module is ideal for programming applications that require functionality such as the following:
- Custom I/O—Modified digital and analog lines with custom counters, encoders, and pulse width modulators (PWMs)
- Onboard decision making—Control, digital filtering, and Boolean decisions
- Resource synchronization—Precise timing of FPGA target resources, such as analog input (AI), analog output (AO), digital input and output (DIO), counters, and PWMs, as well as synchronization among multiple FPGA targets
