This lets engineers use LabView to develop FPGA code that purportedly executes as efficiently as hand-coded VHDL.

Using LabVIEW software, analog designers can implement digital power control without writing VHDL code as illustrated with a PXI power-supply design.

According to NI, the move will help engineers to better use measurements in their design flow by executing LabVIEW code directly from the AWR design environment. "This integration between NI LabVIEW ...
