Single-Board RIO Devices (FPGA Interface)
An NI Single-Board RIO (sbRIO) device consists of a real-time processor connected to a reconfigurable FPGA, with 110 digital I/O (DIO) lines and three expansion slots for C Series modules. The NI sbRIO-961x, NI sbRIO-963x, and NI sbRIO-964x devices have additional I/O lines provided by onboard C Series modules.
The user-reconfigurable FPGA controls the digital and analog I/O lines on the sbRIO device. You can configure the sbRIO device and use the LabVIEW FPGA Module and NI-RIO to create and download a custom VI to the FPGA to define the timing and functionality of the sbRIO device. If you have only LabVIEW and NI-RIO but not the FPGA Module, you cannot create new FPGA VIs, but you can create VIs that run on Windows or a LabVIEW Real-Time (RT) target to control existing FPGA VIs.
Use this book as a reference for information about which FPGA I/O functions, I/O resources, arbitration options, methods, and properties each sbRIO device supports.
