Before You Begin
This section contains information you need before developing applications using the high-speed
serial devices.
Development Requirements
Successful system design with the high-speed serial devices may require knowledge in the
following areas, depending on your application.
•
High-speed serial fundamentals
•
VHDL code design
•
NI LabVIEW and LabVIEW FPGA programming
If you are unfamiliar with any of these concepts, refer to the following table for a list of resources
for learning the fundamentals required for development with high-speed serial devices.

VHDL code design
Some VHDL training or experience is required
before working with the high-speed serial
devices. Do not attempt to develop
Component-Level IP (CLIP) without VHDL
knowledge. Refer to
An Introduction to
NI High-Speed Serial Instruments
for
information about programming options.
NI LabVIEW and LabVIEW FPGA
