The NI PXIe-7820R digital reconfigurable I/O (RIO) module features a user-programmable FPGA chip for onboard processing and flexible I/O operation. You configure all functionality using LabVIEW graphical block diagrams and the LabVIEW FPGA Module. Your block diagram executes in the hardware, giving you direct, immediate control over all I/O signals to deliver high-performance capabilities such as the following: 

-Complete control over the synchronization and timing of all signals and operations 
-Custom onboard decision making that executes with hardware-timed speed and reliability 
-128 digital lines individually configurable as inputs, outputs, counter/timers, PWM, flexible encoder inputs, or specialized communication protocols 

With R Series digital RIO devices and LabVIEW FPGA, you can configure user-defined hardware for a wide variety of applications, such as custom digital DAQ, sensor simulation, hardware-in-the-loop test, custom digital communications protocols, bit error rate testing, and other applications that require precise timing and control. 

Required Software
This product requires the LabVIEW FPGA Module Version 2014 SP1 or later and NI-RIO Version 14.5 or later driver software. 

Recommended Accessories 
The SHC68-C68-RDIO2 cable is designed and shielded specifically for the digital I/O on PXI Express R Series devices to reduce crosstalk for improved signal integrity and noise rejection. The recommended terminal block for the digital connector is the SCB-68 HSDIO.

Note: To compile for Kintex-7 FPGAs, you must have a 64-bit OS or use the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Cloud Service.
