Scan Interface for R-Series Devices

Status: New

I really love User-Defined Variables when I program a cRIO FPGA, and i am sad to not have them when i work with a R-series FPGA card.

 

Wouldn't it be possible to have the Scan Interface for R-Series devices ?

Kind of seems like a waste to have an R series card and then leave you with a really slow DAQ.  It makes sense in a cRIO since it is meant for control applications.  R series boards are more for testing.  I would just buy a simple X series DAQ board and use DAQmx to get a lot more bang for your buck.

An FPGA card is not only a DAQ Card.

Of course I don't want to use Scan Interface to transfer acquisition samples. But I think User-Defined variables offered by Scan Interface are really convenient for communication between FPGA and host.

 

For example, with User-Defined Variables you can directly communicate a parameter or a command from the host to a processing loop in a FPGA SubVI without using front panel controls in the FPGA Top-Level VI. It gives cleaner diagrams.
