Can I use Labview 2013 on 64bit and 32bit PC interchangeably?

Hello,
I am currently running Labview 2013 base package on Windows 7/64 bit laptop PC, which is not permanently kept in the lab.  I need to buy a 32-bit desktop PC to operate a non-Labview application, but, it would be very convenient to use the new 32-bit machine to run Labview also, since it WILL BE permanently in the lab.  Then, I wouldn't have to be connecting/disconnecting the laptop in the lab every time I am doing system development.
Can I load my version of Labview 2013 on a Windows 7/32-bit desktop system and write/run VIs the same way I currently do on my Windows 7/64-bit laptop?
If the 32-bit and 64-bit are interchangeable, then, I would get a higher end 32-bit system.  If they are not, then, I will get the cheapest 32-bit system available, and dedicate it to the non-Labview application.
Thanks,
Dave

You seem to be confusing a few things.
A typical PC can run either a 32 bit windows or 64 bit windows 7. The 32 bit version can only support up to 4GB of RAM, while the 64 bit does not have this limitation.
Both versions can run 32 bit applications and most applications are still 32 bit. (In contrast, a 64 bit application cannot run under a 32 bit OS).
With respect to LabVIEW, a typical installation uses LabVIEW 32 bit, independent of the bitness of the OS. (There are very few specializes scenarios where 64 bit LabVIEW is even useful). I assume that your LabVIEW is 32 bit on your current 64 bit PC. Is this assumption correct?
With the current RAM prices, and keeping memory upgrades in mind, it does not make a lot of sense to even install a 32bit OS (except maybe on a cheap netbook). 64bit Windows can run 32 bit applications just fine. Are you sure that your special application is an exception here?
In any case, VIs are freely interchangeable between LabVIEW 32 and 64 bit (and even mac and linux). When moved to a new platform, they simply recompile automatically.

If your version is Labiew 2013 (32 bit) (and I assume it is!), you can run it on both systems. If you are currently using LabVIEW 64 bit (unlikely), you need to install LabVIEW 32 bit on the 32 bit machine. Even in that case, theVIs are fully interchangeable.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

  • Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Win32 function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.

    Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory from a VI? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Call Library function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.
    The data is being received at 1Mbps.
    Thanks

    Two questions:
    One, if it's a serial card, then presumably it gives you more serial ports, like COM3, COM4, etc. If so, VISA would see the COM ports, and not the card directly. The drivers for the card should make it so that you see the extra serial ports from the OS. If you don't see the extra COM ports from VISA, then it sounds like the drivers for the card are not installed properly. Do the extra COM ports show up in Device Manager?
    Two, you said that you're using a Call Library function to get the data and you want to put it into system memory. Errr.... you just read the data and you have it in memory by definition. Are you saying you need a way to parse the data so it shows up on a graph or something?

    is it possible to communicate with this DNET card?
    if so how do i find communication visa DNET ?
    please inform me how to find DNET examples.

    Hi santh,
    I don't think it's possible to use a 3rd party DNET PCI with LV API.

  • Can I use my iPhone in Europe and will it work as a hotspot for my iPad?

    Can I use my iPhone in Europe and will it work as a hotspot for my iPad?

    It didn't work for me during my February 2013 visit to Switzerland. The Personal Hotspot feature on my iPhone 4S works fine when I am in the US. Upon arrival in Switzerland, my phone connected to the Swisscom network. Phone calls, SMS, Web, and E-mail worked fine on the iPhone. Funny is the Personal Hotspot feature completely disappeared from the settings menu while there. It reappeared once I was back in the US.

  • Can I use LabVIEW to program a Galil controller​, such as the DMC 740?

    Can I use LabVIEW to program a Galil controller, such as the DMC 740?  need a driver.

    vmagui,
    I don't know a Galil DMC-740. Do you mean the Galil DMC-1740? In this case you are talking about an ISA bus board and it might be hard to find a PC that provides ISA bus slots and enough power to run an up to date LabVIEW version.
    In general LabVIEW is an open platform, so if Galil provides a LabVIEW library or at least a well documented DLL you should be able to use their boards in LabVIEW. You should contact Galil for this information.
    If you are really talking about an ISA board you should consider an upgrade to a newer bus technology like PCI. NI also provides a whole range of high quality motion control products that are at least comparable to Galil boards (http://www.ni.com/motion). A good LabVIEW integration for these devices is self-evident and they integrate easily with other NI products like multifunction data acquisition boards, machine vision products and bus interfaces.
    Kind regards,

  • How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    Using Stratus I was able to create an an application using Action Script 3 and Flash CS4.  The sample code on the Adobe site was quite straight forward and easy to understand.  I now want to switch over to  LCCS but can't find anything any where on how to use Action Script 3 and Flash CS4 with LCCS.  Do I need to know Flex to be able to use LCCS?  Everything was quite simple and easy to understand with Stratus and makes complete sense.  But LCCS is really confusing.  Is there any sample code on how to establish a connection in Action Script 3 and then stream from a webcam to a client.  There is nothing in the  LCCS SDK that covers Flash and Action Script 3.  Please help!  I found the link below on some forum but it takes me nowhere.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the LCCS world.
    Please refer to the SDK's sampleApps folder. There would be an app called FlashUserList. The app demonstrates how LCCS can be used with Flash CS4. Its a  pretty basic app, but should help you moving.
    We are trying to improve our efforts to help developers in understanding our samples. Please do let us know if we can add something that would help others.
    Thanks

    how can I use microsoft word, power point and those apps in my new iMac ? i bought this iMac yesterday so am new on tho and i would like to know

    If you absolutely must have the Microsoft applications, you can purchase and download them from http://microsoft.com/mac.
    Free software suites LibreOffice and OpenOffice offer similar functionality (word processing and spreadsheets).
    Or you could do worse than look at Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote, which should already be installed in your Mac and can export to Microsoft formats if need be.

  • Can I use an iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch on the same apple account?

    Can I use an iPad, iPad Mini and iPod touch on the same account?  Is there a limit to how many devices I can use?

    When you turn on your iDevice for the first time just sign in with the same Apple ID and you can download any apps you have purchased in the past! There shouldn't be a limit to how many devices you can use.

  • Can I use the same icloud username and password for multiple phones?

    I have 6 iphones and wanted to use Apple Configurator to install the same apps on all 6 phones.  Some of the apps though, also require further installation by email.  Can I use the same iCloud username and password for all 6 phones to download the apps and also to configure email or do I need to create 6 different Apple IDs?

    If different people will be using these phones, you might be better off using the same Apple ID for the iTunes content...apps, music, etc. on each of these devices, but create different ID's for iCloud on each device. You can use one ID for the iTunes/App store, & a different ID for iCloud. That way, messages, notes, contacts, calendars, etc will be kept separate on each device.

  • Can i use home sharing if me and my wife have different apple ID accounts?

    can i use home sharing if me and my wife have different apple ID accounts?

    Yes.
    You need to sign into home sharing using ONE Apple ID. So either pick yours or hers, use the same one for home sharing on the computers. Once they are signed in on both Macs you can access media that the other user purchased.
    Click the 'Shared House' for her library (if you have the sidebar enabled) when you are in your iTunes to access her media & vice versa, both iTunes needs to be running & awake.
