Hi everyone,
I'm making a LabVIEW project with communication between a PC and a cRIO.
The communication between my PC and real-time controller is realised with a network stream in a message/command structure.
But now I have to send some fixed point data from the real-time controller to the FPGA.
Based on the command from the user, there are 3 different groups of 4 fixed point values to be sent( The parameters of 3 PI-controllers = Kp, I, max value, min value ). On the FPGA I only need the latest values.
Is it better to use a DMA-FIFO with an extra fixed point at the start to indicate what group of data is sent? Otheways the FPGA doesn't know what PI-controller to update.
Or should I just use front panel communication to do this?
Thanks,
Matthias
