Background

Custom or proprietary digital protocols are commonly used in today's world for device or sub-system communication in everything from Aerospace to Consumer Electronics. While this often ensures hardware-timed speed and reliability, it also requires a custom digital interface to prototype and test these devices, which can involve the high development costs of custom hardware. The integrated I/O on FPGA-based Intelligent DAQ devices allows you to leverage off-the-shelf hardware to implement almost any custom digital protocol for design, control, and test applications. The LabVIEW FPGA module eliminates the need for hardware design experience by compiling graphical block diagrams into routines that execute in silicon.
