The LabVIEW FPGA Module is used with LabVIEW to help engineers develop and debug custom hardware logic that can be compiled and deployed to NI hardware with onboard FPGAs. When fast, deterministic response is required, use NI hardware with FPGAs for inline signal processing, communication with digital protocols, and closed-loop decision making.
LabVIEW FPGA Module Features
LabVIEW and the FPGA Module make high-speed, low-latency systems accessible to more engineers.
- LabVIEW provides an intuitive way to design systems and better visually represents the data flow and parallel processes that occur in FPGAs, so you don’t need to learn VHDL and Verilog.
- LabVIEW FPGA is built for NI hardware. Traditionally complex tasks, like configuring I/O, data transfer, and buffers are straightforward with LabVIEW FPGA.
- LabVIEW FPGA streamlines the compilation process from translation to routing optimization and synthesis so you can implement designs on hardware faster.
What Can You Do with the LabVIEW FPGA Module?
| Process in Real Time | Implement Custom Communication | Integrate Existing HDL Code | Customize to Your Needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| NI FPGA hardware is aligned to the needs of systems that produce large amounts of data, like RF systems. Dozens of measurements can be processed with true hardware parallelism. | When communication needs surpass the capabilities of standard protocols such as SPI or I2C, LabVIEW FPGA enables the implementation of custom protocols to communicate with test systems and devices. | Engineers save development time by reusing existing code. LabVIEW FPGA can integrate HDL or netlist IP, including VHDL and Verilog synthesis files. | LabVIEW FPGA provides advanced control over hardware. It has the functionality to implement custom timing, triggering, and synchronization on NI FPGA devices. |
