Kit helps create custom I/O modules
Engineers can now extend the CompactRIO reconfigurable embedded system platform by creating their own custom I/O modules for applications requiring unique and specialised I/O signal types.
Upgraded FPGAs boost acquisition modules
National Instruments has released seven new R Series devices and five CompactRIO modules for embedded digital signal processing and high-speed control.
"Because of their performance and flexibility, FPGA chips have gained wide market adoption among digital design engineers".
"RIO technology delivers these benefits to a broader range of engineers and scientists by eliminating the steep learning curve traditionally required to program FPGAs", said Tim Dehne, NI Senior Vice President of R and D.
"Graphical programming of FPGAs extends virtual instrumentation by empowering LabView users to synthesise their own custom measurement circuitry that rivals the performance and optimisation of vendor-defined hardware".
