VeriStand supports NI-XNET devices, NI-DAQ devices, and NI FPGA targets.
Note
For the best performance, VeriStand recommends that NI-DAQ devices support single-point timed hardware I/O or on-demand sampling. Refer to the
KnowledgeBase
for a list of NI-DAQ devices that support single-point timed hardware I/O.

Device support for PWM I/O includes:
- Generating pulses—If hardware-timed single-point sample mode is enabled (default) for a counter output channel, only X Series PCI and PXI devices support generating pulses with that channel. However, if that property is disabled for a Counter Output (CO) channel, all DAQ devices support generating pulses.
- Measuring pulses—Only X Series PCI and PXI devices support measuring pulses with counter input channels.

Supported Targets
VeriStand supports deploying a project to the following targets:
- PXI/PCI—Any PXI controller with at least 256 MB of RAM.
- CompactRIO/Single-Board RIO—Any CompactRIO or Single-Board RIO device with at least 128 MB of RAM.
- Desktop PC—Any PC running Windows 7, Vista, XP Service Pack 3 or later, Server 2003 R2 (32-bit), or Server 2008 R2 (64-bit).
FPGA Targets with Built-in Support
VeriStand ships with bitfiles and FPGA configuration files for the following FPGA targets:
- NI cRIO-9103
Note
The files provided for the NI cRIO-9103 are configured for the NI 9215, NI 9263, NI 9411, and NI 9474 I/O modules.
- NI PXI/PCI-7811R
- NI PXI/PCI-7813R
- NI PXI/PCI-7831R
- NI PXI/PCI-7833R
- NI PXI/PCIe-7841R
- NI PXI/PCIe-7842R
- NI PXI/PCIe-7851R
- NI PXI/PCIe-7852R
- NI PXI-7853R
- NI PXI-7854R
All bitfiles use direct memory access (DMA) to transfer data.
You can use the LabVIEW FPGA Module to create custom FPGA bitfiles for these or other FPGA targets.
