Augmented default Academic RIO Device FPGA personality and high-precision waveform measurement application example

Load and run a modified version of the default Academic RIO Device personality (FPGA bitfile) augmented by user-defined functionality, for example, to make a high-precision measurement of pulse width.

LabVIEW RT block diagram snippet: Programmatically set a custom FPGA bitfile; alert the VI to expect myRIO default personality functionality on the custom FPGA bitfile
