RIO Developer Essentials Guide for Academia
RT guide
Real-Time (RT) programming: Basic procedures
Create a new LabVIEW project for the RT target, use the Academic RIO Device Toolkit and default FPGA personality, and deploy a VI as the start-up application.
Summary
The Academic RIO Device Toolkit and default FPGA personality provides a quick and easy path to create complete applications by programming the RT target exclusively. This is a good starting point for those who have LabVIEW experience on the desktop computer because the RT programming techniques are basically the same. The Device Toolkit Express VIs greatly simplify the process to connect external peripherals.
Guides
- Use the Academic RIO Device Toolkit Express VIs to interface with onboard and external peripheral devices and use built-in FPGA-based devices such as PWM, quadrature shaft decoding, serial communications, timers, and interrupts.
Procedures
- Determine the network address of your Academic RIO Device
- Create a new LabVIEW project for the RT target
- Deploy a VI as the start-up application to run automatically after the Academic RIO Device boots up
