protocols
Overview
National Instruments reconfigurable I/O (RIO) technology gives you the ability to define your own custom measurement hardware circuitry using reconfigurable field-programmable
gate array (FPGA) chips and NI LabVIEW graphical development tools. NI R Series multifunction RIO devices offer the best combination of value and performance by integrating
this FPGA technology with eight analog inputs, eight analog outputs, and 96 digital I/O lines, all into a single device that is offered on standard PC form factors such as PCI, PCI
Express, and PXI/CompactPCI. Using the LabVIEW FPGA Module, you can create your own hardware personalities for custom data acquisition, high-speed control, digital
communications protocols, sensor simulation, hardware-in-the-loop test, and onboard signal processing without in-depth knowledge of hardware description languages.
