This section explains reconfigurable I/O and describes how to use the
LabVIEW FPGA Module to build high-level functions in hardware.
Refer to Chapter 2,
Hardware Overview of the NI
of the I/O resources on the NI 781xR.
The NI 781xR is based on a reconfigurable FPGA core surrounded by fixed
digital input and output resources. You can configure the behavior of the
FPGA to meet the requirements of your measurement and control system.
You can implement this user-defined behavior as an FPGA VI to create an
application-specific I/O device.
Flexible Functionality
Flexible functionality allows the NI 781xR to match individual application
requirements and to mimic the functionality of fixed I/O devices. For
example, you can configure an R Series device in one application for three
32-bit quadrature encoders and then reconfigure the R Series device in
another application for eight 16-bit event counters.
You also can use the R Series device with the LabVIEW Real-Time
Module in timing and triggering applications, such as control and
hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations. For example, you can configure
the R Series device for a single timed loop in one application and then
