h1. Next steps

Once the QPSK implementation in LabVIEW is completed, we have to integrate the DVB-S2 modems in the communication system to develop the emulator channel. In order to do this, we will port the main functions of the developed system on a FPGA. In this section, we describe how a FPGA works and the tool to program it: the LabVIEW FPGA Module.

h2. LabVIEW FPGA Module.

Unlike the traditional development tools for FPGA systems which requires the use of low-level languages, this module allow us to use the LabVIEW graphical programming platform to develop software on a FPGA. This approach simplifies the task of interfacing to input-output and communicating data reducing the development time. In addition, LabVIEW provides numerous libraries developed by NI and Xilinx for a wide variety of functions and is fully equipped with debugging tools and.
