Could Scan mode and FPGA mode be used in one project?

[masterwho]

Hi all,

I need a project that samples the current from NI9203 with Scan mode and samples the accelerometer from NI 9237 with FPGA mode. Could it be achieved? Could Scan mode and FPGA mode be used in one project?

I'm using labview2009.

Thank you very much.

Yes, they can. That mode is called hybrid mode. To use I/O modules in LabVIEW FPGA Mode, simply drag the module to the FPGA target in the LabVIEW Project, removing it from scan mode. Then use LabVIEW FPGA to program the modules and use I/O variables to read and write I/O on the remaining modules. When using LabVIEW FPGA Mode on one or more modules, the CompactRIO Scan Mode logic on the FPGA, known as the RIO Scan Interface, is compiled with the LabVIEW FPGA VI into a single FPGA application. If no modules are configured to use scan mode, the RIO Scan Interface is not included in the compile.
