How wrong can you be!! It's a fantastic tool.

That's been my impression of any "high-level" tool I've used, especially any graphical ones. They are possible in theory, but in practice they are generally terrible.

Pretty damned good now I would say. One of a kind.

I was at the Embedded Systems Conference in SanJose this year and I sat
in on a 2 hour lecture on this. I initially thought the class was some
kind of joke, but yes, they were actually using LabView to generate
code for an FPGA. After sitting and watching a guy make a shift
register I left the class with my inital impression of the class, its a
joke.
I can look at a schematic and tell a circuit is a shift register, I can
look at VHDL/Verilog code and see a shift register, but that mess of
LabView crud they hade on the screen looked NOTHING like a shift
register. I know this is pretty much version 1 of their FPGA software,
but it will take much more work before it is ever usefull as a design
tool.
I can't see how this will ever catch on for LabView...

Marco -
Why bother? What good do you do? Multiple newsgroups are required for this
question, he simply didn't cross-post "properly." Who besides you cares?
I just hate to see someone steered away from any newsgroup because of bad
experiences. Why try to use a newsgroup where people are condesending or
hostile?
That's the last I'll comment in this thread. I just wish I could help with
the original question.

The correct way to do that is to cross-post. That way people who subscribe
to all these groups don't have to read and re-read your question and get
frustrated (like Marco no doubt just did).

Yeah, yeah, we all have rights. There's no need to shout... :)

Hi,
I posted in multiple groups becuase the fuzzy nature of the question.
The question belongs to labview people, VHDL people and hardware FPGA
people plus its my right to post question in any group I want. IF U
DONT WANT TO ANSWER IT THEN DO NOT BOTHER OK!

Hello,
National instruments has introduced new module in their labview 8 for
programming the xilinx FPGA chips. It converts the labview programs
into VHDL . It can borrow image processing libraries from the labview
too. I was wondering that if somebody has used this module form labview
can give me details about it.
Thanks
