Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for implementing multiple test and measurement devices into a single multi-instrument device (102). The device can include at least one field programmable gate array, FPGA (112), that allows partial reconfiguration. One or more dynamic reconfigurable portions of the FPGA can be configured to function as one or more test and measurement devices. The device can provide outputs of each of the test and measurement instruments to a client device, which can display the outputs to a user. The device can be reconfigured by loading bitstreams (122,136) associated with the desired test and measurement device. The bitstreams can be loaded from the client device (104), a server (106), or from a memory storage unit (114) of the device itself.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a process for configuring or commissioning a solar power system includes receiving, at a controller, hardware identifiers of a plurality of power electronics modules to be configured. Each of the plurality of power electronics modules of at least a portion of the plurality of power electronics modules is associated with a corresponding photovoltaic panel. A hub is configured to wirelessly communicate with the plurality of power electronics modules. The controller is physically connected to the hub and communicates with the hub via wiring that also carries power from photovoltaic panels to an inverter. The process includes configuring, by the controller, the plurality of power electronics modules using the received hardware identifiers.

Abstract: A method for modeling a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) for an emulator includes performing a validation process on an FPGA design to determine whether an FPGA emulator is able to emulate at least one component in the FPGA design; responsive to the FPGA emulator being unable to emulate the at least one component in the FPGA design, modifying the FPGA design by replacing the at least one component with at least one replacement component; executing a first simulation of the FPGA design to generate a first output; executing a second simulation of the modified FPGA design to generate a second output; and determining, with reference to the first output and the second output, that the FPGA design and the modified FPGA design are functionally equivalent.

Abstract: A system includes a library of elements to create a model describing a waveform parameter technique. A constraint checker verifies that the created model is correct by construction by needing no verification after compilation. The constraint checker also implements a valid programmable device build according to the waveform parameter technique. A placement decision module receives the verified models produces a placement decision for placing the waveform parameter technique based on the verified model in a programmable device. A synthesis tool receives the verified model from the placement decision module and synthesizes the waveform parameter technique based on the verified model. A link/loader receives the placement decision from the placement decision module and receives the synthesized technique from the synthesis tool. The link/loader also places the waveform parameter technique in the programmable device according to the placement decision.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for runtime creation, assignment, deployment and updating of arbitrary radio waveform techniques for a radio waveform generation device are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a parser is arranged to parse packet data files to generate channel properties associated with at least one of a plurality of techniques.
