Skapa Fpga-Baserade Testsystem Med Labview: Johan Olsson National Instruments

The document discusses using FPGAs with LabVIEW for test systems, explaining how LabVIEW allows programming FPGAs without HDL knowledge through a graphical programming interface and enables applications like high-speed control, sensor simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and onboard processing through parallelism and tight integration with I/O. Common FPGA applications for testing include high-speed control, sensor simulation, rapid prototyping, hardware-in-the-loop testing, intelligent data acquisition, digital communication protocols, and onboard processing and data reduction.

Importance of FPGA in Systems

• High Reliability – Designs become a custom circuit


• High Determinism – Runs algorithms at deterministic rates
down to 25 ns (faster in many cases)
• True Parallelism – Enables parallel tasks
• Reconfigurable – Create new and alter existing task-specific
personalities
Common FPGA Applications for test

• High-speed control
• Sensor simulation
• Rapid prototyping
• Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test
• Intelligent DAQ
• Digital communication protocols
• Onboard processing and data reduction
• Other applications that require precise timing and control
High-Speed Control

About 200 kHz Loop Rate


Intelligent DAQ (Data Acquisition)

• Increased flexibility
– Custom triggering
– Create own counters (using digital lines)
– Multi-rate applications
– Implement custom filtering
– Perform ‘oversampling’ and data reduction on HW
