Device Configuration Tables
Last Updated 2 months ago
These device tables describe standard firmware configurations for all HIL devices. They can be viewed from the Device Configuration Table. To understand this article it is strongly recommended to first get familiar with system architecture and FPGA solver basics and principles and constraints of real-time modeling in electrical and signal processing domains.
If you find these device configurations not suitable for your application we can develop custom firmware suited to your needs.
