LabVIEW runs under Windows Vista
June 2007
SCADA/HMI
National Instruments (NI) has announced the availability of a new version of its LabVIEW graphical design platform for test, control and embedded system development, for use with Windows Vista. The company has also released new 32-bit and 64-bit hardware drivers with support for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista.
In addition to Windows Vista, LabVIEW 8.2.1 continues to support Windows XP, Windows 2000, Mac OS X and Linux.
LabVIEW 8.2.1 available for use with Windows Vista
Windows Vista is the newest version of the Microsoft operating system. One important aspect of Windows Vista that impacts users is an increased focus on security, resulting in a new user privilege model known as user account control (UAC). UAC is designed to prevent viruses and other malware from gaining control of a PC. Engineers and scientists building mission-critical systems or manufacturing test systems with LabVIEW and related National Instruments software benefit from this new emphasis on security.
A second key aspect of the Windows Vista release is the availability of both 32-bit and 64-bit editions, which can be installed depending on available computer processors. While LabVIEW remains a 32-bit application, it functions normally on the 64-bit version of Windows Vista because of a Microsoft abstraction layer known as Windows on Windows (WoW64). However, this new version of Windows requires 64-bit hardware drivers which National Instruments has created.
"National Instruments continues to be among the first to market with compatibility for the latest PC technologies, including Windows Vista," said Tim Dehne, NI senior vice president of R&D.
