In this chapter we introduced the techniques used to design prototype intelligent sensor, starting with an overview of FPGA design, working through the VHDL language and showing how FPGA design can be simplified using graphical design entry tools. Given this background the discussion now moves on to consider the overall design of our prototype intelligent sensor by focusing on how data flows through the design; the implementation details are left to the appendices.
