Is labview same for linux and windows?

hi,
Right now, i am using labview 6.1 and 7.1 windows version. can i use the same windows version for linux  also?

You need to get the Linux version in order to run LV on Linux. You can open and run the VIs you save in Windows in the Linux version and vice-versa, but some things are Windows-specific and will not work (for instance ActiveX, .net, toolkits which are only supported on Windows, etc.). Also, when you open your VI in Linux, LV will tell you it was changed, because the compiled code is saved as part of the VI. The compiled code for Windows and Linux is different, so when you open a Windows VI in Linux, it is recompiled.
You might wish to do a search for "Linux" to see more specific details.

  • Why we have separate azure java SDK for linux and windows

    I saw different links for downloading azure java SDK for linux and windows.
    What difference does it actually have when java is platform independent? Or both are same jars?

    Hi,
    Thank you for your post.
    It contains the same jar files.

  • CD different for Linux and Windows

    I have in hand a very strange CD. This is an (old) CD with drivers for a Samsung printer. The CD has drivers for Linux and Windows. But if I mount the CD in Linux, I see only the Linux driver and if I access the CD from Windows, only the Windows drivers are seen. How they can do that ? How can I mount in Linux the CD in order to see the content seen from Windows ?

  • Partitioning drives for linux and windows 7

    I want to know if there is a piece of software that is free that can partition my drives so that I can triple boot OSX lion, windows 7 (which is currently blocking...) Linux (ubuntu puredyne).
    A little bit of guidance would be much apprieciated as I have already tried fixing the partition tables MBR in the terminal and ended up disabling windows.
    I know how to reinstall windows but what software can partintion the drives for linux as a triple boot?
    Thanks.

    Well, this is possible using Disk Utility as well as the Linux formatter. However, to triple boot will require special software: The rEFInd Boot Manager - Roderick Smith.

  • LabVIEW for Linux and hardware registers

    Hi all,
    I'm considering using LabVIEW for Linux in an upcoming project based around
    PC/104. As the only way to communicate to the PC/104 module inputs is via
    hardware addressing, I need to know whether it is possible to directly
    address hardware in LabVIEW for Linux. If not can you suggest a way of doing
    this? Also does LabVIEW for Linux and say RedHat make for a more stable
    system than LabVIEW for Windows and Windows 2000/XP?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Shane Broadbent
    - remove the 'nospam' to reply by e-mail

    Hi Shane.
    I know that you can address hardware in Labview for Linux: I do it with an NI6071e,k 6602 and 6503. I don't know specifically about the PC/104, but I imagine it can also be done.
    Generally you can talk to the hardware registers using code interface nodes (CINs) in Labview. In the CIN you just use a 'write()' command. I don't think there's anything more to it than that. Creating the CINs is no trouble at all.
    Don't know about stability of Labview with Linux compared to windows, all though others tell me stability is pretty much the same.
    hope this helps and good luck!

    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?

  • Oracle DB sessions on Linux and Windows

    Actually I am confused the way session memory is allocated on 32 bit windows and linux OS.
    Windows is a thread based architecture where all user sessions are treated as threads of oracle.exe process. The addressable space is 4GB and oracle.exe can use up to 3GB in case you use /3GB switch in boot.ini file. It means that combined size of SGA ,PGA and other memory structures can not be more than 3GB. When a session gets connected with a database a PGA is allocated. It means that memory required by database sessions also comes from the 3GB limit. If your memory usage goes beyond 3GB you wont be able to connect new sessions with database or you would require to reduce the size of one of your SGA components.
    Linux is a process based architecture where each user session is treated as a separate process and has its own addressable space. Even on 32bit linux the addressable space is 4GB i.e. 2GB for process and 2GB for kernel. It means we need to accommodate our SGA and PGA in the 2GB limit (there are ways to increase the size of SGA but let assume we are doing nothing to raise the 2GB limit).
    As PGA is allocated for every session when it connects with database.
    My question is how PGA memory is allocated against a database session on linux.
    To further clarify my question I am stating the results of an experiment that I did on linux and windows.
    On windows I set the total size of SGA to 1730M and PGA aggregate target to 1024M. I was able to able to startup the database instance without any issue. Then I started connecting sessions with the database and even ran a query doing a heavy sort in one of the sessions but after connecting 10 sessions with DB I started getting ORA-12500 TNS Listener failed to start a dedicated server process error on windows.
    Then I did the same experiment on Red Hat Linux. SGA size was 1633MB and where as PGA aggregate target was only 10MB. I was unable to start instance when I set the SGA size more than 1633MB.
    With that setting I was able to connect more than 200 sessions with database inspite of running query doing heavy sort in 4 sessions without getting ORA-12500 error. I was even able to connect more than 400 sessions with database after setting PGA aggregate target to 1GB on Linux.
    Now my confusion is why linux was able to handle more DB sessions. I know it’s a process base model and each session is a separate process and has its own addressable space but as PGA is allocated against every session and PGA memory comes from 2GB limit then why PGA memory did not exhaust on linux. Is PGA allocated differently on linux as compared to windows?

    Perhaps the problem is easier to understand if you leave PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET out of this issue completely.
    The out of memory problem you had, has nothing to do with PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET setting directly. The difference in number of processes comes from architectural differences in how Oracle uses memory in windows vs unix.
    On windows the SGA + ALL PGAs must fit into one 4GB address space (in practice even smaller as youve noticed). This is because there's only one process, oracle.exe. One process = one address space.
    On Unix, you have many processes and every process can use portion of their own address space for PGA.
    So, on windows (32bit) you run out of address space for the single oracle.exe process. On unix you dont hit this limit just because the number of processes grows (but if some process wants to use a lot of PGA memory, then they eventually run out of address space (talking about 32bit again))
    On unix you probably ran into another limit - amount of total usable virtual memory (RAM+swap) available in your system

  • Disk Utility Images of Mac OS, Linux and Windows?

    Quick questions: am I able to use Disk Utility to make an image of a Windows partition that is NTFS? And, be able to restore it back if I need to? Same goes for the Linux: can I make an image of an ext3 partition, then restore it if need be?

    Not of NTFS. OS X cannot write NTFS, only read. Same for LInux. OS X does not support the Linux extn filesystems. You will need to find Windows and Linux software for that. OS X can image a FAT formatted Windows disk. Of course I don't know if there's a DVD big enough for a Windows system or for OS X.

  • Different stringWidth between Linux and Windows

    When I use Ms Windows Arial Font in my Java Program running on Linux
    I found out the rendering result of the Font is different with same program running on Windows
    The Arial Font in Linux become wider, and this cause problem because i used absoule position.
    I am using Java 1.3.1, How can solve this problem??

    The Arial under Linux and Windows are not the same. Firts, they may be different font files, second, both systems uses different rendering engines to draw them. Also, some systems, as mine, won't have Arial font at all - substitute font will be used then. So, I would expect, you will have similar problems with any other font, any other operating system or even in some specific locales which uses reversed (right-to-left) line ordering. You will also be not able to do internationalization properly.
    Simply your application is not portable and written with breaking may portability rules. I hope, you are not doing it for money. The layout managers is the only existing aswer to your problem. The closest to absolute is a SpringLayout introduced in 1.4.x.
    The absolute location problem is not a bad thing in Java only - it can screw C, VisualC and CBuilder applications. Take some of them and tweek your system settings - use large fonts for buttons, tiny fonts for menu, change whatever OS provides you to be able to change in L&F and look what will happen with some of those applications. I would be really happy to have layout managers in CBuilder.

  • Font differs from Linux and Windows ?

    Hi, i just want to ask, are fonts different from windows and linux in applet. I use a standard courier font.
    For example, if i make an applet with courier font texts in linux, and make the texts wrap themselves, they will run ok in linux. But if i run the compiled applet in windows, the wrapped text somewhow got truncated.
    But if i compile the applet in windows, it will look ok in linux and windows.
    I've tried replacing my courier fonts in my /usr/java/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/cour*.ttf with the cour*.ttf from c:\windows\fonts with no effects .. Applets compiled and run ok in linux doesnt work in windows. They must be compiled in windows to run ok in both.
    Why is that ?
    Does the compilation use the fonts in the jdk lib or the system fonts ?
    I'm so confused T_T
    Please Help

    There's no way with Office X, which can't do Unicode Greek. You need to upgrade to Office 2004 which is Unicode-savvy and installs in your Mac the same Times New Roman with Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and Arabic which is used by WinXP. An alternative might be AbiWord or NeoOffice/J.

  • Multiboot with LINUX and Windows

    Does solaris support multiboot with UNIX, LINUX and Windows.
    All of them in the same disk on primary hdd.
    thanks

    Hello pradyut. It is not possible to boot Solaris 10 from Linux GRUB since Sun uses a modified GRUB which can deal with SUN partition 'slices'. The opposite (Sun grub booting Linux), however, is really easy to do. If you installed Solaris last you can edit Solaris /boot/grub/menu.lst and just add another entry the same as the Windows menu entry, except for the changed name and partition number.
    So, for example, with a Windows entry similar as follows:
    title Windows
         rootnoverify (hd0,0)
         chainloader +1
    just copy/paste it where you want it to go and edit as follows:
    title Linux xx.. <- you put whatever title you wish here
         rootnoverify (hd0,X)
         chainloader +1
    ..where X = the correct partition number of the Linux /boot code. If your Linux /boot directory is installed in the second physical partition (directly after Windows), for example, X would be 1 if a primary partition, or 4 if the first logical partition.
    If you are not really sure what partition number to use (this can be confusing and difficult to even describe), you could easily discover the correct partition number by trial and error, or run (in a Linux console) df -h. A wrong partition number entry will produce a harmless GRUB error and return you to the Solaris boot menu to try again.
    If you look at the Grub documentation, you will find that it is really even easier to make these changes on the fly (while actually booting). Highlight the Grub menu item via the down-arrow, press ESC, then E. This will allow you to edit that line, and quickly change the 'X' number and try it. Type <Enter> once your edit is done, and then highlight the menu entry to boot, and type B.
    Either way, you can return to Solaris /boot/grub.menu.lst and put in the correct number and it will always boot the Linux loader even after updates, reinstalls, and kernel upgrades.
    Also remember that if you are using logical partitioning in one of the physical partitions, the first logical partition is always HD0,4 (assuming hard disk 0) whether there are 4, or less than 4 physical partitions.
    I hope this helps!

  • Running jar in Linux and Windows

    Hi
    I created a jar file in Linux and it is running fine under Linux.
    But when I tried to run the same jar under windows,I got the following error
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
    Is there any difference between running jar files in Linux and Windows?

    Hi
    I have a jar(say program.jar) containing a program which uses some libraries(again some jar files).The manifest file is written to look for the library jar files in the current directory.
    Main-Class: package_name.program_name
    Class-Path: fits.jar image.jar util.jar myutil.jar
    But while running the jar file in WINDOWS (java -jar program.jar <parameter list>)
    the following error occurs:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
    nom/tam/fits/Data"
    the class Data is present in the fits.jar jarfile.
    The same jar(run in the same manner)does not give any problems in Linux

  • [SOLVED]Arch Linux, and Windows 8.1 Dual Boot issue

    Hi guys. I recently bought a new laptop, and decided to run Arch Linux and Windows 8.1. I installed Windows 8.1 first as recommended by the beginners guide, and then installed Arch Linux. I made sure UEFI was enabled in my BIOS, and made sure everything was on a GPT partition. The install itself went fine. My laptop loads grub, and Arch Linux shows up and boots, but there is no option to boot into Windows 8.1. The only way I can boot into Windows 8.1 is by accessing my motherboard, and choosing to launch the windows boot manager instead of the grub launcher. How can I get Windows 8.1 to show up in grub? Thanks in advance guys.

    Yeah just ran this after installing os prober
    grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    and it works now. Sorry for the crazy posts guys. Thanks for the suggestions and help.
    Yeah I'm sure I'm doing something wrong lol. I did not install OS-Prober. I think that's where the issue is. I'm missing the menu entry in grub.cfg right? Do I just run os prober or do I have to manually edit grub.cfg.
    If that's not the case then here is what I did up until now. What I did was start with a blank SSD drive. I used cgdisk to make the disk use a GPT partitioning scheme. I installed windows 8.1 and checked in windows to make sure it boots into UEFI-GPT mode and it does.  I then installed arch linux using the beginners guide. I made sure to use cgdisk to create any extra partitions, and installed GRUB to the efi partition that windows had created ( I did not format this partition ). I then finished the installation and rebooted, and Grub only shows arch linux. I don't think I'm dealing with anything MBR related. I made sure I used the GPT partitioning scheme....i think lol.
    All you need to do is run os-prober then run grub-mkconfig. It should pick up Windows at that point.
