Use cases, operation and architecture for technology that can reduce development time and complexity.
The LabVIEW Real-Time Module 8.6 introduced powerful new features for programming CompactRIO hardware that reduce development time and complexity as well as provide tools for monitoring and maintaining CompactRIO applications. This functionality is powered by two technologies in LabVIEW, the NI Scan Engine and the RIO Scan Interface. The NI Scan Engine is a new component of LabVIEW Real-Time that scans I/O values into memory at a rate you specify. The RIO Scan Interface is a set of FPGA intellectual property (IP) developed by National Instruments that is downloaded to the CompactRIO FPGA and is responsible for I/O module detection, timing, synchronization, and communication.
Using CompactRIO Scan Mode, you can choose between accessing each I/O module directly in LabVIEW Real-Time and host applications with no FPGA programming or in LabVIEW FPGA for maximum flexibility and performance. You can also use new test panels and I/O forcing functionality to get up and running quickly, perform advanced debugging, and monitor system performance.
This paper discusses the use cases, operation, and architecture of the NI Scan Engine and RIO Scan Interface. To read more, click here.
