VeriStand supports NI-XNET devices, NI-DAQ devices, and NI FPGA targets.

For the best performance, use NI-DAQ devices that support hardware-timed single point (HWTSP) I/O or on-demand sampling. Refer to DAQ Devices with Hardware-Timed Single Point Sampling Mode Support for a list of NI-DAQ devices that support HWTSP I/O. Refer to the custom device’s GitHub repository for a list of supported modules.

Note  

VeriStand does not support HWTSP on cRIOs with DAQmx, such as 904x and 905x. For single-point I/O on these devices, use the Scan Engine & EtherCAT custom device. Refer to the custom device’s GitHub repository for a list of supported modules.

1 Refer to the FPGA Targets with Built-in Support section for a list of NI FPGA targets for which VeriStand provides bitfiles and FPGA configuration files.

2 Device support for PWM I/O includes:
  • Generating pulses—If HWTSP 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.
