Class ADXRS450_Gyro output angles?

Is this the code that runs on the FPGA? If so, it never occurred to me that it would be written in LabView. I can see that all it really does is integrate the rate info over time. No real magic to it.
Thanks, this explains a lot.

The gyro code above runs in the background on the RIO itself (would be nice if it was on the FPGA, but doesn't happen in this case). You can find that code snippet if you look in the Gyro Open VI.

However I believe the FPGA implementation is also all done in LabVIEW using LabVIEW FPGA. Due to the parallel nature of LabVIEW it actually lends itself quite well to being compiled onto the FPGA.
