/* This ReadMe discribes the files available regarding the FPGA project */



fpga_pres.pptx:

This is the powerpoint presented on August 5th, 2011. It was presented by Joshua Lindoo and
Casey Gravelle. It requires Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 or newer to open.

-----------------------------------------------

Initial_Communications.vi:

This is a terminal emulator written in LabVIEW. It allows simple communications over a virtual
COM port.

-----------------------------------------------

Read QNet Board.vi:

This is the final version of the program used to retrieve/display data from the FPGA on a 
QuarkNet board. The board must be programmed to output the sin/cos of an angle. This vi then reads that 
data from the FIFO buffer on the card and parsed the output string to grab useful data. 
After that it graphs both curves on the same plot. This vi uses some of the sub vi files from
the sub_vi folder so if it asks for a vi when you load it, you will need to download that vi as 
well.

-----------------------------------------------

sub_vi folder:

The files in the sub_vi folder can be used in any program by using "Select a vi" on the block
diagram in LabVIEW. The sub vis are used similar to functions and contain code that we used
many times in our project.
