National Instruments has launched new software to aid the design and
physical implementation of digital filters. LabView Digital Filter Design
Toolkit V7.5 includes tools for modelling and creating software based
digital filters, as well as LabVIEW FPGA and C code generation
capabilities for chip-level implementation. Based on LabVIEW Express
technology, the toolkit enables interactive design of custom floating- or
fixed-point filters, and includes four new Express VIs and a wide range
of standard digital filter algorithms. Engineers without significant
signal processing experience can gain access to 80 example VIs to get
them up and running and developing custom digital filters. Once the
design process is complete, ANSI C code can be generated to deploy newly
designed filters on DSP chips, or LabVIEW FPGA code can be generated in
order to implement the designs on NI FPGA devices.
