The NI PCI-7811R digital RIO board features a user-programmable FPGA chip for onboard processing and flexible I/O operation. You configure all functionality using NI LabVIEW graphical block diagrams and the LabVIEW FPGA Module. Your block diagram executes in the hardware, giving you direct, immediate control over all I/O signals to deliver high-performance capabilities such as the following:

-Complete control over the synchronization and timing of all signals and operations
-Custom onboard decision making that executes with hardware-timed speed and reliability
-160 digital lines individually configurable as inputs, outputs, counter/timers, pulse-width modulation, flexible encoder inputs, or specialized communication protocols

With R Series digital RIO devices and LabVIEW FPGA, you can configure user-defined hardware for a wide variety of applications, such as custom digital data acquisition, high-speed waveform generation, sensor simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test, custom digital communications protocols, bit error rate testing, and other applications that require precise timing and control.
