Buy Labview 7, 7.1 for Linux

Hi,
The company i work for is interested in porting existing Labview
project onto the Linux platform. Although they willing to buy Labview
8, it seems
that this release needs stronger CPU and more memory to operate, and
the startup time has extended compering to LV7. Therefore they want
to buy LV7 or LV7.1 for Linux.
Has anyone have any informations where could they buy LabView 7, 7.1 Full suite. Maybe some companies wants to get rid of LV7?
Regards
Albert

Dear Albert,
If you are wishing to use an earlier version of LabVIEW for Linux (7.0/7.1) you can purchase a current copy of LabVIEW 8.0 and then use that license for the older copy. National Instruments can burn you a copy of LV 7.x which you can deploy on your lower spec computer system.  This would then give the option to transfer code developed on 7.x to used in LV 8 in the future.  Continuous development of LV means that we exploit latest feature available in OSs which might limit your future developments of 7.x code.
Please note if you do manage to acquire a copy of LV 7.x make sure that it is a legitimate copy and not just some bodies cast off upgrade copy.  Upgrades are not a legal single seat copies as the licences follows the upgraded LV copy and not the disk.  If you get a copy you need to acquire a License Transfer Document - this would need to be supplied by the seller (beware of EBAY sellers a number are selling copied or upgraded disks and not offer the License Transfer Document).  I enclose this documentation.
Kind regards

  • LabVIEW Touch Panel Module for Linux

    Hi,
    Does NI released Touch Panel Module for Linux?
    Thanks,

    Hi Dennis,
    Here is the article I read about LabVIEW Embedded Development Module. Page 1-1, "Taking Your Graphical Design to Any 32-Bit Microprocessor".
    http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371233b.pdf
    About the topic you are right. I have the VI on Windows XP. I converted it to WinCE 5.0 with LabVIEW Touch Panel Module and it works perfectly. I have LabVIEW for Linux and I converted the VI to Linux and it works on PC. Now, I want to convert it to Embedded Linux that works on ARM microcontroller.
    I am looking for LabVIEW Touch Panel Module for Linux because the only supported platform for that is Windows.

  • LabVIEW RTE 6.1 for Linux. HowTo?

    I want to use the Plug-In from this package with Netscape
    6.0 to access a remote panel. Works fine on a Windows
    machine with the RTE for Windows. But every time I open
    the same page with Netscape 6 within Debian Linux I get
    the following message:
    This page contains information of a type (application/x-labviewrpvi) than can only be viewed with the appropriate Plug-In.
    Although I installed the RTE for Linux and made a Symbolic link in .netscape/plugins ti LVNPlugin.so this
    message will not go away?
    What's wrong? Can anyony help?
    Thanks in advance,
    Armin Herzer

    Armin,
    Is it OK for you to actually copy the LVNPlugin.so to .../netscape/plugins? This is what I have done on the support machines here in Applications Engineering and it works great. I have Netscape 6.2 installed in /usr/local/netscape so I have the plugin copied to /usr/local/netscape/plugins/LVNPlugin.so. Try updating your Netscape to see if that helps as well. The message you are getting means that Netscape does not even see the plugin.

    thanks for all..

    Here is a decent list of the differences between the versions of LabVIEW.  Since you want to create executables, you will need to add the Application Builder.  If you find there are other functions that you may need, I would just bump up to the Professional version.

  • LabVIEW for Linux licensing

    Hello all,
    I have LV6i for Linux installed on a Slackware distribution. I would
    like to know why there is no serial number associated with the LV
    installation. Usually when you install on Windows machine the
    installatin will prompt you for a serial number. This is not the case
    with LV for Linux. Entering a serial number is never mentioned.
    The reason why I ask is because I'm a little confused on how this could
    be dealt with during an audit, which I've never experienced. If I have
    LV for Linux installed on several machines how would an NI auditor
    determine that I have excess licenses? Not that I plan on doing this
    .... unless it's legal with the Linux installation. This certainly isn't
    implied in the license agreement but perhaps the
    re's an exception with
    Linux.
    I'm trying to find yet another good reason for my employer to move to LV
    for Linux.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I am not a lawyer and I am not claiming to be an authority on our
    licensing agreements. As someone else suggested, you should consult your NI
    salesperson (or your own attorney) if you're unsure.
    The licensing for LV for Linux is the same as for our other versions,
    which is per seat. To run LabVIEW on five different computers, you need to
    buy five licenses.
    The reason the LabVIEWs for UNIX don't ask for a ser
    ial number is
    practical. Typically in the UNIX world, LabVIEW is installed by an
    administrator who is different from the end user. We never bothered to
    create a tool for the administrator to enter the serial number, and we can't
    count on the end user having write access to the LabVIEW directory to store
    the serial number. If this becomes an issue (e.g., your auditor won't let
    you use LV for Linux because of this), we can try to address it.
    I hope this helps.

  • LabVIEW for Linux support on VXI hardware

    A potential client contacted me regarding a small project using VXI hardware under Linux. I'm considering using LabVIEW for Linux but I'm not too clear on NI's VXI driver support and whether they have a VI library for the particular hardware. I contacted NI tech support over the phone but they didn't have any answers. BTW, I've used LV with PCI and ISA DAQ boards under Windows and Linux but I've never used VXI.
    Here is the hardware in question:
    PCI/VXI-MXI-2(8026) - PCI to VXI bridge
    VXI-AO-48XDC - 48 channel analog output board
    VXI-MIO-64XE-10 - multifunction DAQ board
    Anyone know what's involved in building a LV app for this system under Linux, i.e. what's NI's HW driver and LabVIEW support?
    I've purchased LV 7.1 FDS for Linux for other projects. Do I have to buy anything else? I found this link on the NI site:
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=10603〈=US

    PS: Sorry for the repost. I accidentally posted this to the LabVIEW forum.

    Kevin,
    You will need NI-VXI/VISA for Linux part number 778131-01. Which can be found on the link you provided. The forums seemed to have removed the "〈" from the link so it is a good idea to preview your post Hopefully you have read my reply to your other post but we can continue it here if you have further questions.

    - and some more
    I want use c++ codes on linux real time. For testing reasons I want to have a function that adds 2 values and gives the result.
    I've done these steps:
    1. writing a c++ file in Eclipse (see screensot 2)
    2. building a shared library (.so) from my c++ project in Eclipse (with Cross GCC)
    3. putting this file on myRio (path: /usr/local/lib/)
    4. creating a VI that calls this library from Labview with a "Call Library Function Node" (see screenshot3)
    5. Setting the properties for the "Call Library Function Node" (see screenshots 4-7)
    After I run this VI i get this error message: LabVIEW:  (Hex 0x627) The function name for the ... node cannot be found in the library. To correct this error, right-click the Call Library Function Node and select Configure from the shortcut menu. Then choose the correct function name. (see screenshot1)
    I've tried a lot things to solve this problem but I couldn't find a solution. Would be very happy if anyone can help me. I guess that I have to edit my c++ code to export my function (symbol). But I have no idea how to make it. I also tried it with a dll file in the same folder but it didn't help.
    Perhaps someone can send an example which works on myRIO.
    Thanks!

     can see it in the screenshot8 there is a function called "_Z8AddierenddPd" instead of "Addieren". I copied this name to Labview (see screenshot9) and it worked.
    I'm sure that there is a way to compile the shared folder with gcc without decorations (mangling). But I don't know how. If someone has a recommendation I would be very glad!
    Prepend each function declaration that you want to be available without name decoration with
    extern "C" <your function declaration>
    Or if you have multiple functions you want to export you can in the header file where you declare your functions simply use:
    #ifdef __cplusplus
    extern "C" {
    #endif
    <all your function declarations>
    #ifdef __cplusplus
    #endif

  • Font Smoothing in LabView for Linux

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone has been able to get their fonts in LabView for Linux to be either smoothed using Gnomes subpixel smoother for LCDs, or any other type of anti-aliasing. I currently can use truetype fonts in LabView, and for the most part they do look pretty decent.. btu they are not smoothed at all. Every single application I have loaded has smooth fonts other than LabView. Please let me know if anyone has managed to get this working... and if so, how.
    I am currently using Gentoo with all of my packages updated less than a month ago, with LabView 8.2
    Thanks for any info!

    Unfortunately, we do not support fonts on your operating system. Hopefully another customer is more familiar with this.

  • LabView for Linux/Mac: integrate external UI controls

    Hello,
    for Windows, there's the posibillity to integrate (UI-)controls written in annother language using ActiveX or .NET. Is there an equivalent solution for Linux and Mac?
    I.e., can I use a GTK or Carbon/Cocoa based control in LabView on Linux or Mac? I know I can utilize external libraries, but this will not allow me to display any UI elements alongside LabView controls on the same Panel without putting considerable effort in subclassing the window, which is also not so easy on Mac.
    Thanks in Advance
    Alexander Hofmann

    Hi Alexander,
    there is no such functionality that allows you to integrate external UI controls under Linux or Mac.
    However you can call Frameworks or Shared Libraries under Linux and Mac in order to communicate with external applications.
    Alternatively you can go the other way round and create Shared Libraries of your LabVIEW application, that can be called within external applications.
    Below you can find some helpful links reagrding this topic:

  • Labview player for linux?

    I have a Labview VI running on my Windows platform. I developed it using the Windows version of Labview 7.1. I used the Web Publishing tool to make the display available online. I have verified that I can see the display running in real time using IE on a Windows machine.
    Other machines in our LAN are running Linux, and cannot view the site in real time. For example, Mozilla asks for a plugin, but I can not find Labview Player for Linux anywhere. Can anyone help me get the Linux machines to see the real time site that is being hosted from a Windows machine?
    Thanks

    I don't think that there is a plug-in for a linux system to be able to view the published LabVIEW front panel.

  • Labview 7 for Linux on Redhat9,NI example Finder not working.

    I have Labview7 for Linux on Redhat9, installed at /usr/local/lv71. "NI example Finder" is not working, the function of browser, search,submit,none is working. When I try to close it, the window looks dead, cannot close it. I will force to close it. What is the problem? Where are the examples?
    Another question: the simple help text is working, but the details help is not working. I can open the help file by Mozilla. But I want the help could be linked, like what it is in Windows platform.
    Thanks

    Hello �
    If whenever you type �labview� at the prompt, LabVIEW 7.1 is launched, it probably means that the paths are setup to launch 7.1 but it doesn�t necessarily mean that you do not have LabVIEW 7.0 installed.
    If you only installed LabVIEW 7.1 in that computer, it is possible that somebody else had installed LabVIEW 7.0 before.
    What I suggest doing is to run the UNINSTALL scripts for both, LabVIEW 7.0 and 7.1, and reinstall LabVIEW 7.1 as root, not as user.
    Hope that helps!

  • In LabVIEW for Linux, cannot link to a shared library file (.so).

    Hello all,
    I'm having trouble using the Call Library Function Node within LabVIEW for Linux (using Ubuntu).  I can configure my Node correctly, and it sees the available function within it with all the proper parameters, but when I close the Call Library Function dialog box it does a quick search and asks me to Find the Shared Library Named "mySharedLibraryName."  If I select it again, it merely repeats this over and over until I cancel.  Has anyone seen this before or know what is causing this?  The .so file was compiled using gcc++ - is there anything specific that should have been included (does it need a header file)?  Could some missing file be causing this?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    The elf shared library format is a supported feature of all Linux distributions since about Linux 1.0 or earlier. So it is not really an issue that Ubuntu wouldn't support shared libraries as used by the LabVIEW Call Library Node. Since the Call Library Node seems to be able to see the exported functions during selection of the function it also doesn't seem to be a problem with proper export of the symbols.
    This leaves over some dependencies of the shared library on some other shared libraries including C runtime libraries. Was the shared library compiled on the system you try to use it? If not you may have an incompatibility of the C runtime library version used on the system that was used to compile the shared library and your Ubuntu system you try to load it.

  • Installing LabVIEW 8.2.1 with DAQmx 8.0 on Suse 10.2 for Linux.

    We recently installed LabVIEW 8.2.1 on Opensuse 10.2 for Linux.  After some work, my advisor was successful at getting the install to work with DAQmx 8.0 and NIKAL 1.5.  I thought I would post the install notes for anyone who finds them useful.  Everything seems functional thus far.

    Jeff,
    Thanks for the extremely detailed post.  I have actually been experimenting with this combination of software for the past couple weeks (i.e. OpenSUSE 10.2, DAQmx, LabVIEW 8.2.1).  Your steps match mine very closely.  I did have a one thing to add, and one question about your steps.  First, I just want to mention that NI-KAL 1.6 has been released and it fixes several issues when installing NI-KAL with newer kernels.  This is available at:
    http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/850/lang/en
    I would highly recommend using NI-KAL 1.6.
    Second,  I wanted to ask about step #2 where you modify the modpost.c file.  When I ran updateNIDrivers I was not required to make this change.  However I did have to increase the allowable symbol length.  I changed the line:
    #define SZ 500
    to
    #define SZ 1024
    in modpost.c.
    I then proceeded to follow the steps you mentioned and was able to run updateNIDrivers without error.  Could you test to see if changing the allowable symbol length fixed the problem without having to ignore the "parse error in symbol dump file."  I don't exactly know what the read_dump function does but it always makes me nervous to ignore errors.  Since NI-KAL uses modpost to install a kernel module, this failure may be important, although I don't know for sure.
    Once again thanks for your awesome post.
