LabVIEW FPGA Basics
In this lesson, you learn about the two major RIO architectures: FPGA on Windows and FPGA for Real-Time. You also learn about R Series devices and CompactRIO, two of the different RIO platforms. You then learn to configure your RIO hardware in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and create a LabVIEW FPGA project. Topics include:

Evaluating system requirements
Reconfigurable I/O architectures
FPGA Platforms
System Configuration
Creating a LabVIEW FPGA project

FPGA Programming Basics
In this lesson, you learn how to reconfigure an FPGA target using the LabVIEW FPGA Module. You gain a high-level understanding of how logic is implemented on the FPGA and how LabVIEW code is translated and compiled into FPGA hardware. After you develop an FPGA VI, you test and debug on the development computer and then compile and execute the VI on an FPGA target using Interactive Front Panel Communication. You examine different reports that are generated during compilation and learn several techniques to optimize your code for size. Topics include:

Defining FPGA Logic with LabVIEW
Developing the FPGA VI
Interactive Front Panel Communication
Selecting an Execution Mode
Compiling the FPGA VI
Basic Optimizations

FPGA I/O
In this lesson, you learn how to add FPGA I/O to your LabVIEW project and use it on the block diagram. You also learn about the differences between performing I/O on an R Series device and on a CompactRIO chassis, and you learn the differences between integer and fixed-point data. Using I/O Nodes, you learn how to access both analog and digital data. Topics include:

Configuring FPGA I/O
I/O Types
Integer Math
Fixed-Point Math
CompactRIO Error Handling

Timing an FPGA VI
In this lesson, you learn to use the Loop Timer to set your FPGA loop rates, the Wait to add delays between events, and the Tick Count to benchmark your FPGA code. Topics include:
Timing Express VIs
Implementing Loop Execution Rates
Creating Delays between Events
Measuring Time between Events
Benchmarking Loop Periods

Data Sharing on FPGA
In this lesson, you learn how to transfer data between multiple loops on your FPGA VI. You examine three data sharing methods: variables, FPGA memory, and FPGA FIFOs. You learn the benefits of each technique and when each should be used. Topics include:
