How do I turn my VI to Digital Circuit

[NewMexicoNate]

I am sorry for my ignorance. I am would say that I have beginner to intermediate skills with LabView. However I want to take my VI from the virtual world and into a working circuit. I am lost as to how to do this. I am not doing anything complicated. This is my flow of the VI.

Analog signal in > Amplify > filler > Detect abnormal signal (a moving window of about 15 seconds)  > Alarm when abnormal signal detected.

In LabView it works great, and now I want to make the Hardware prototype.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Don't understand. Do you wish to use your LabVIEW program to control some hardware such as an NI DAQ card? How are you doing the analog input now? Simulation of DAQmx hardwafe? Or perhaps do you want to use NI FPGA hardware and software?

The statement 'making the hardware prototypw' is what is the most confusing.

The only digital hardware ... euh... "equivalent"...  not the right word...

The only thing that comes to mind is "FPGA".  But not all FPGA's..

As Dennis mentionned...  "I don't understand"  what you are trying to do.  LabVIEW is not a hardware design tool..

Hi Nate,

I would suggest that you break your circuit problem down into sections, the same way you did with your LabVIEW program. 

First thing you need is an amplifier.   Your local library should have tons of stuff.  But Google is also your friend.  One example. http://www.hobbyprojects.com/A/audio.html

Then you want a filter.    And, a detector.   Finally, an alarm. 

You might want to give Multisim a try for your circuit design. 

Good luck with your project!

Thanks for all of the suggestions I appreciate the help.
