NI LabVIEW FPGA

The NI LabVIEW FPGA Module uses LabVIEW embedded technology to extend LabVIEW graphical development and target field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) on NI reconfigurable I/O (RIO) hardware. LabVIEW is distinctly suited for FPGA programming because it clearly represents parallelism and data flow. With the LabVIEW FPGA Module, you can create custom measurement and control hardware without low-level hardware description languages or board-level design. You can use this custom hardware for unique timing and triggering routines, ultrahigh-speed control, interfacing to digital protocols, digital signal processing (DSP), RF and communications, and many other applications requiring high-speed hardware reliability and tight determinism.

LabVIEW FPGA Module

The LabVIEW FPGA Module helps you create custom hardware using LabVIEW graphical programming and off-the-shelf NI RIO hardware.

NI FPGA Deployment Option for NI Developer Suite

NI Developer Suite with the FPGA deployment option includes the LabVIEW FPGA Module and a comprehensive set of LabVIEW add-ons for developing an embedded RIO system.

LabVIEW FPGA Hardware Targets

NI CompactRIO

CompactRIO is an advanced reconfigurable control and acquisition system designed for embedded applications that require ultrahigh performance and reliability.

NI Single-Board RIO

NI Single-Board RIO products are low-cost deployment solutions based on NI CompactRIO. They integrate a real-time processor, reconfigurable FPGA, and analog and digital I/O on a single board and are powered by NI LabVIEW Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA technologies.

NI FlexRIO

The NI FlexRIO product family, composed of FPGA modules and I/O adapter modules, provides flexible, customizable I/O for NI LabVIEW FPGA. The FPGA and adapter modules form a high-performance, reconfigurable instrument that you program with the LabVIEW FPGA Module. With the NI FlexRIO Adapter Module Development Kit (MDK), you can design an instrument with the exact converters, buffers, clocks, and connectors your application requires.

NI R Series Multifunction RIO

NI R Series multifunction RIO devices integrate FPGA technology with analog and digital I/O on standard PC form factors such as PCI, PCI Express, and PXI/CompactPCI. R Series devices are ideal for applications that require custom data acquisition, onboard processing, digital communications protocols, sensor simulation, or high-speed control.

NI Compact Vision System

The Compact Vision System is a rugged machine vision package that contains a reconfigurable FPGA for implementing custom counters, timing, or motor control into your machine vision application.
