LabVIEW FPGA: 2 days

Application development for LabVIEW FPGA Module
This lesson describes some of the issues involved when developing LabVIEW FPGA applications, including the design process, testing the application, and compiling the application. You learn how to think in terms of coding in LabVIEW for a hardware target.

Topics include:
* Design process overview
* Interactive and Emulation modes
* Using the Compile Server
* Basics of LabVIEW FPGA Module application design

FPGA Module VI Design Techniques
This lesson describes developing applications to communicate through the reconfigurable I/O (RIO) hardware. The first part of the lesson illustrates how to configure I/O nodes for use with RIO devices. The second part of the lesson focuses on programming techniques to attain the maximum results with the FPGA application while illustrating some simple examples.

Topics include:
* Communicating to the RIO hardware input and output
* Timing and shared resource considerations for deterministic loop rate development
* Good programming techniques to optimize for speed
* Creating custom counters
* Utilizing onboard memory
* Handling integer overflow

Synchronizing the FPGA application with the Host
This lesson illustrates methods of controlling and monitoring an FPGA application from a host application. In earlier lessons, you developed your own customized hardware. In this lesson, you create the driver-level software needed to interact with your customized RIO hardware. Several techniques for synchronizing with the host application including handshaking strategies will be reviewed.

Topics include:
* Controlling and interacting with an FPGA application
* Techniques for synchronization with the host
* Interrupt driven versus polling strategies

Using the LabVIEW Real-Time Module with the LabVIEW FPGA Module
This lesson describes the use of the LabVIEW Real-Time Module to create multithreaded and deterministic applications in conjunction with the LabVIEW FPGA Module. Use of LabVIEW FPGA provides a real-time, deterministic host for your LabVIEW FPGA VI, but it is not required. (You can use LabVIEW for Windows if you choose.)

Topics include:
* Prioritizing loops for maximum efficiency
* Considerations for multithreaded applications
