The real thing you would learn about is writing code that runs an FPGA.
Yes. A good starting point would be a Xilinx SP605 kit. It's about the $750 for a decent 5370 and includes many points from Bobs option list.
The other gotcha here is that the feature list can get pretty large: 3) USB 2.0 interface 4) RS-232 interface 5) HPIB emulation of an HP box (w/o drivers) 6) Ethernet interface 1) Web server software 1) Front pannel controls (W/o mechanic) 2) Front pannel display (VGA output) 3) Front interface connections (DUT's) 4) Rear pannel standard interfaces and controls (w/o mechanics) 2) Flash card storage 3) USB stick storage 4) SD card storage 5) Battery backed RAM storage 1) Some number of counter inputs ( some programmable SMA I/O) 2) Some number of reference inputs 1) Battery power 2) Auto 12 V power 3) AC line power
use as a PCIE card in a pc or mac onchip CPU that can run Linux with DDR ram etc Fiber optic link can do massive DSP FPGA design software and embedded software included
So lest's see, that's 3 x 4 x 5 x 4 x 6 x 6 = 8,640 combinations. That does not include any options that actually relate to how the gizmo works. That's just talking about the eye candy around the thing.
