NIWeek 2012 Big Physics and Science Summit
Presented by Taren Bowen and Joe Huerta, National Security Technologies
Abstract:
Explore how National Security Technologies created a signal programmer system with CompactRIO and NI C Series hardware. The central part of the system was developed with an FPGA framework. The programmer is a clock-based signal distribution device that counts down from a configured minus time, through zero, and then up through a positive count. From this clock, the programmer generates timing signals in a preconfigured time sequence that drive external equipment and trigger devices at experimenter stations.
