This document discusses LabVIEW FPGA and its uses for industrial and educational applications. It describes two FPGA platforms developed between 2005-2008 and 2008-2011 that featured Xilinx FPGAs and LabVIEW FPGA software. It also outlines a 6-hour LabVIEW introduction course for students covering topics like state machines and communication. Students learn LabVIEW FPGA through projects on Spartan3E boards involving Boolean logic, serial communication, and analog filtering. A wireless temperature measurement is provided as an example LabVIEW FPGA project.
