NI LabVIEW FPGA Module
The NI LabVIEW FPGA Module extends the LabVIEW graphical development platform to target field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) on NI reconfigurable I/O (RIO) hardware. LabVIEW is well suited for FPGA programming because it clearly represents parallelism and data flow, so users who are both experienced and inexperienced in traditional FPGA design can productively apply the power of reconfigurable hardware.
Top Reasons to Use the LabVIEW FPGA Module
Powerful Graphical Programming for FPGA Hardware
Traditionally FPGAs have been programmed using VHDL or Verilog. Many engineers and scientists are either not familiar with these complex languages or require a tool that gives them faster design productivity at a higher level of abstraction to greatly simplify the process of generating FPGA code. LabVIEW FPGA is easier to get up and running than the alternative tools.
Implement LabVIEW Code Directly in Hardware
FPGAs are inherently hardware circuits; there is no OS or threads. LabVIEW designs that require high-speed processing, parallelism, reliability, and tight determinism are perfect to target to FPGAs.
Achieve High-Level Design With Low-Level Ability
LabVIEW is a highly productive language for FPGAs because it abstracts complex details for quick design time, but it retains the ability to program every clock tick when necessary.
