Hi Troy
I'm assuming from the title that both of your questions are with respect to using the NI PCI-5640R. If so, they would be better posted to the PCI-5640R message board.
Currently the Digital Filter Design toolkit supports creating fixed point filters for FPGA. Unfortunately, at this time we do not have any examples of this. This also the only NI LabVIEW toolkit supporting fixed point math. We are looking at porting others over from floating point to fixed point. Do you have any other interests in programming that we can take into account in setting our priorities?
Thanks
Jerry
