Overview

This example demonstrates how to calculate the maximum value of an array on FPGA.

 

Description

The FPGA array pallete does not have the Max and Min VI that the standard LabVIEW array pallete has.

This example shows one possible implementation to calculate the maximum. The example indexs through the array and compares each value with the maximum found value. When it finds a new maximum it saves the value.

 

Requirements

 Software

  • LabVIEW Full Development System 2012 (or compatible)
  • LabVIEW FPGA Module 2012 (or compatible)

 Hardware

  • No hardware is necessary to use this example VI

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Download and open the attached ZIP-file
  2. Open the [Main] ...VI inside the LabVIEW project and follow the instructions on the Front Panel
