LabVIEW FPGA Idea Exchange

What I would like to see when transferring FPGA Projects from one target machine to another, that I will not be forced to recompile the Vi code when testing the FPGA code whilst passing parameters within the front panel when executed on the new target., Work arounds like creating a small host front panel to allow parameter changes kind of defeats the object of a FPGA Front panel execution.

Dear All, 

I am attempting to write some FPGA code, for a cRIO 9074, to act as a data logger for 50 sensors that I am fitting to a small lifeboat. I hope to save all the data to the 9802 SD card module. From my understanding, it should be possible to take the sensor input signals into the FPGA chip, compile them into an interleaved data group and then output them straight on to the SD card from the FPGA. This means there is no RT controller required; making the system more reliable and quicker. Is this correct? Or is my knowledge wrong?

I have tried to look for some example of this on the web but I am struggling to find any which do NOT use a RT control. Can anyone point me in the direction of some examples?

Few extra details: Sampling frequency  = aiming for 10 KHz (will be reduce if system cannot handle it), Input modules include; 9236 strain gauges, 9234 accelerometers, 9205 analogue voltage inputs, anymore questions fire away. 

Thanks in advance!

Pete

Index Array FPGA documentation: Resources - This function consumes logic resources in proportion to the size of the array.

Unbundle by Name FPGA documentation: Resources - The Cluster & Class functions consume no logic resources on the FPGA because they are purely wiring operations.

Though this is not a major issue, it would decrease resource usage proportional to the size of array the user is dealing with if these behaved similarly.
