TL;DR: The real-time implementation of 256-point FFT, one of the most important transforms used in signal and image processing and finding the power spectrum using LabVIEW and Compact RIO are explained.
Abstract: The growing popularity of adopting virtual instrumentation (modular, customizable, software-defined instrumentation) has only became possible due to the use of LabVIEW with a highly interactive process known as graphical system design. The Compact RIO programmable automation controller is an advanced embedded control and data acquisition system designed for applications that require high performance and reliability. This paper explains the real-time implementation of 256-point FFT, one of the most important transforms used in signal and image processing and finding the power spectrum using LabVIEW and Compact RIO. The proposed implementation uses only 3077 slices(21%), 2489 slice registers(8.7%), 4651 slice LUTs(16.2%) on a 400 MHz real time embedded processor.

TL;DR: Some of the traditional challenges that prohibited wide adoption of FPGAs in the industrial control and simulation fields are discussed, and how new graphical system design tools are helping mechatronics engineers leverage the full power of FGPAs as deployment platforms are discussed.

TL;DR: GFT is discussed and its relation to MSC and to the UML testing profile, which is the basis for the definition of a U ML testing profile to enable the integrated system and test development with UML models.
Abstract: Graphical system design techniques like Message Sequence Chart (MSC) and Unified Modelling Language (UML) are gaining more and more acceptance because they ease the development, understanding, and maintenance of software systems. In the testing area no accepted graphical test specification and implementation techniques exist. To overcome this shortcoming, a graphical presentation format for the Testing and Test Control Notation (GFT) has been defined. GFT supports the graphical design, implementation, visualization, documentation and tracing of test behaviour. GFT is based on MSC and extends it with test specific concepts like verdicts and defaults. GFT is also the basis for the definition of a UML testing profile to enable the integrated system and test development with UML models. This paper discusses GFT and its relation to MSC and to the UML testing profile.

TL;DR: This paper presents two compiler techniques that are used to 1) extract extra parallelism from a user's application to take advantage of the parallel hardware resources of the FPGA and 2) minimize memory-access traffic, which is often a bottleneck that restricts overall FPGa performance.
Abstract: Many varied domain experts use Lab VIEW as a graphical system design tool to implement DSP algorithms on myriad target architectures. In this paper, we introduce the latest LabVIEW FPGA compiler that enables domain experts with minimum hardware knowledge to quickly implement, deploy, and verify their domain-specific applications on FPGA hardware. We present two compiler techniques that we use to 1) extract extra parallelism from a user's application to take advantage of the parallel hardware resources of the FPGA and 2) minimize memory-access traffic, which is often a bottleneck that restricts overall FPGA performance. Finally, our approach provides the user a simple constraint-driven experience to maximize their development efficiency. We use two case studies in two different domains, a 3GPP Turbo decoder and a Smith-Waterman algorithm, to show the benefits our tool provides to users.
