LabVIEW FPGA and CompactRIO Getting Started Tutorial

LabVIEW FPGA and CompactRIO Getting Started Tutorial This hands-on session is an introduction to basic concepts and methods of setting up an NI CompactRIO system and programming with NI LabVIEW FPGA version 8.2 and higher. You will configure your CompactRIO system, create a new LabVIEW Project, and create a LabVIEW FPGA application from scratch that introduces basic programming concepts and basic features. In the field programmable gate array (FPGA) application, you will perform analog I/O and design custom trigger logic to control a digital output. Hands-On Summary • Introduce CompactRIO, LabVIEW Real Time, and LabVIEW FPGA • Learn how to setup and configure a CompactRIO system using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) • Create a LabVIEW Project to manage your FPGA, real-time processor and Windows host application code • Use shared variable Ethernet networking technology to easily communicate with your CompactRIO system • Create and compile an FPGA application to perform I/O and implement a custom trigger For more information on LabVIEW FPGA and CompactRIO, visit these pages: http://www.ni.com/fpga com/compactrio LabVIEW FPGA and CompactRIO Getting Started Tutorial Page 1 of 30 Table of Contents Recommended Hardware and Software.................................................................................................................................................................3 Using the Target Control ...
