TLDR
In this article, the authors present a system and method for configuring an instrument to perform measurement functions, wherein the instrument includes a programmable hardware element and a graphical program is first created, where the graphical program implements a measurement function.Abstract:
A system and method for configuring an instrument to perform measurement functions, wherein the instrument includes a programmable hardware element. A graphical program is first created, wherein the graphical program implements a measurement function. The graphical program may include a front panel and a block diagram. The method then generates a hardware description based on at least a portion of the graphical program. The hardware description describes a hardware implementation of the at least a portion of the graphical program. The method then configures the programmable hardware element in the instrument utilizing the hardware description to produce a configured hardware element. The configured hardware element thus implements a hardware implementation of the at least a portion of the graphical program. The instrument then acquires a signal from an external source, and the programmable hardware element in the instrument executes to perform the measurement function on the signal. The front panel may be used by a user to control the instrument during the measurement.read more

Graphical system for modelling a process and associated method
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method for programming a computer system having a display console for displaying images to control at least one of a virtual instrument and an instrument by the steps of displaying on the screen a first function-icon that references at least 1 first control module for controlling at least first function; displaying on screen at least 2 iteration-icon for controlling multiple iterations of data flow; and assembling a first acyclic data flow diagram, such that the diagram displays a first procedure for producing a value for each first function in the course of the first procedure.
