Use NI FPGA targets to create customizable I/O, help with data preprocessing and postprocessing, add high-speed closed-loop control, and simulate a variety of sensors for hardware-in-the-loop testers

You can add an FPGA target and corresponding FPGA configuration file to a system definition file without installing the LabVIEW FPGA Module. However, you must install the LabVIEW FPGA Module to create a custom FPGA bitfile and configuration file.
  1. Launch your project in the VeriStand Editor.
  2. In the Project Files pane, left-click a system definition file (.nivssdf) and select Configure in System Explorer.
  3. Click Targets » Controller » Hardware » Chassis » FPGA in the configuration tree.
  4. Choose to add one or all discoverable FPGA targets.
