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), and many other applications requiring high-speed hardware reliability and tight determinism.
