My dissertation topic is "Implementation of IEEE 1451.4 on FPGA" . Initially I thought of using NI's data acquisition modules with labview . But when I was referring IEEE papers I came through FPAA which was completely new to me. So I decided to use Anadigm's FPAA was signal conditioning. I have a doubt whether I can use labview for FPGA and access the output of FPAA. I'm attaching the paper I referred for block diagram
