摘要： A computer-implemented system and method for deploying a graphical program onto an image acquisition (IMAQ) device. The method may operate to configure an image acquisition (IMAQ) device to perform image processing or machine vision functions, wherein the device includes a programmable hardware element and/or a processor and memory. The method comprises first creating a graphical program which implements the image processing or machine vision function. A portion of the graphical program may be converted into a hardware implementation on a programmable hardware element, and a portion may optionally be compiled into machine code for execution by a CPU. The programmable hardware element is thus configured utilizing a hardware description and implements a hardware implementation of at least a portion of the graphical program. The CPU-executable code may be executed by a computer coupled to the IMAQ device, or by a processor/memory on the IMAQ device.

摘要： A system and method for configuring a device to perform a function, where the device includes a programmable hardware element and one or more fixed hardware resources. A program is stored which represents the function. A hardware configuration program is generated based on the program, specifying a configuration for the programmable hardware element that implements the function, and usage of the fixed hardware resources by the programmable hardware element in performing the function. A deployment program deploys the hardware configuration program onto the programmable hardware element, where, after deployment, the device is operable to perform the function, where the programmable hardware element directly performs a first portion of the function, and the programmable hardware element invokes the fixed hardware resources to perform a second portion of the function. An optional measurement module couples to the device and performs signal conditioning and/or conversion logic on an acquired signal for the device.

摘要： An arbitrary waveform generator including a digital signal procession unit and a memory. The digital signal processing unit may be configurable to interconnect a plurality of processing components in different configurations to process data received from the memory and perform one of a plurality of different functions to compute or enhance waveforms without having to store complex waveform data in the memory. In a first configuration, the digital signal processing unit may perform digital up-conversion functions on received waveform data to generate enhanced waveform data, and in a second configuration may perform data interpolation functions to generate enhanced waveform data. In a third configuration, the digital signal processing unit may receive data comprising attributes of a waveform from the memory and perform hardware-controlled arbitrary waveform generation functions. In a fourth configuration, the digital signal processing unit may receive information from software and perform software-controlled arbitrary waveform generation functions.
