LabVIEW for Linux Student Edition

Does National Instruments offer a Student Edition of LabVIEW for Linux? If not, would National Instruments provide a discount for a student?

If not, someplace to check (no kidding!) is ebay. Occasionally you will see a copy of LV come up there.

Missing Document "Erste Schritte in LabView" for current Student edition 2014

Can anyone tell me where i can find the current documents for
"Erste Schritte in LabView" to go with the 2014 ServicePack 1 Student edition ?
All i can seem to find is those for the 2013 version:
373427J-0113, 323427J-0113
wich contain a hint that there's a newer version, but the search link redirects to the same document.
they seem to have quite a few differences, especially the tutorial documents they refer to didn't come with my install.
In Addition where can i find the tutorials folder they refer to? is that an extra download package?

Hallo P.Bepler
It seems that there is no getting started for LabVIEW 2014. I think the differences between the basic operations of 2013 and 2014 are not very large.
In addition, the tutorial folder of LabVIEW 2013 contained only two VIs. You will find one of them (generate and display) in the template folder "simulated" of LabVIEW 2014.

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.

How is the LabVIEW 7.1 Student Edition delivered?

I recently requested LabVIEW 7.1 Student Edition for use with the NXT from http://digital.ni.com/express.nsf/bycode/lvtoolkitlego. A email was sent saying that labVIEW would be shipped. Does anyone know about how this works?
Message Edited by RHPGuy on 07-22-2007 10:32 PM

Well, after the three weeks that NI said it would take to ship, I called them up. The request never got through. They shipped it to me overnight.

Getting the labview 8.6 pid toolkit to work with labview 8.5 student edition

Hi I am working on a project for college,I just bought the labview pid toolkit 8.6 but it wont load as i use labview 8.5 student edition,am i stuffed or can i get a version to work with my edition and send this one back??hat is the best thing to do?
I am badly stuck please help.I cant afford to pay for an upgrade to 8.6?
Thanks

You could try to do a File->Save for Previous Version on the PID VIs that you want to use. However,
if one of the PID subVIs was saved without a block diagram then this
won't work. Also, I'm not sure if the toolkit is backwards compatible
in this way. Also, when you do this you will effectively be saving the
VI hierarchy into a new location.
However, your best bet (and my recommendation) is to contact your local NI sales rep to see if they can get you a CD with the 8.5 version. Since you have a license for the toolkit it's probably not going to be an issue.

Is there a way to use Labview for Linux for IBM AIX 5.1.

I think any application built for linux can run on the AIX 5.1 if the application is recompiled on the AIX 5.1. So theoretically NI can just recompile there Linux version of Labview on the AIX 5.1 and it will work. Is there a possibility that NI will port Labview for AIX 5.1.

I think that the use of LabVIEW for linux is platform independent as far as hardware. I believe that as long as you are running a compatible GUI (I believe XWindows and KPT??? are two that are recommended - check ni.com/linux for more information. So, for your purposes, as long as you can install the proper GUI, and then LabVIEW for Linux, you can then run, code, compile, and deploy applications on the AIX 5.1.
I am personally VERY interested in knowing about your success (or failure, should that unlikelyhood occur) on Linux. If you browse the topics, there is actually one on non-windows useage of LabVIEW. I am currently setting up my first Linux machine at my home office, and am very curious to know how other people do with this 'adventure into unc
harted territory'. The only documented useage I have seen is in Gary Johnson's newest edition of Power Programming.
Good luck, and please keep us posted. I sense that I am the only LabVIEW for Linux fan besides yourself. But please feel free to post to this thread, and to the topic.

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.

Is there a Labview for Linux

Dear friends,
I just know that there is a Labview for Linux. I have a Labview for
Window. I dont the Labview for Linux is free. Can anyone tell me how
much it should be? Does it have an educational discount?

I need to install software on a computer without a dvd drive. Where can I find the download for the student edition?

Perhaps you can copy it using a different computer, from the disk to a USB key.
However, external DVD drives are cheap and in my view essential.

Transferring Photoshop CS6 Extended for Windows Student Edition software from a Windows PC to a Mac

I bought Photoshop CS6 Extended for Windows Student Edition for my PC online last year from Curry's PC World. I was told at the time of purchase that I would be able to transfer this software from my PC onto a Macbook. I have now purchased the Macbook and would like to transfer the software from my old Windows PC onto my new Macbook. Please could I have some assistance in doing so. Thank you!

You didn't mention who told you you could transfer the software, but I suspect it was not anyone from Adobe. Versions are platform specific so there is little chance of installing the Windows version on a Mac without the use of a Windows emulator of some kind. Since it is CS6, you do have the option to apply for a platform swap. See the following...
Change product platform or language
You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:

Labview 8.6 Student Edition?

When does NI plan to release LabVIEW 8.6 student edition.

It's planned to release the new LabVIEW Student Edition like in the past in conjunction with the Academic Site License update. This way students can use the same version in the Labs as they do at home.
Saying this you can anticipate November .

Arial font substitution for (LabVIEW for) Linux

Hello,
as LabVIEW was not capable of keeping the font size and spacing constant when running a VI under different Windows versions, screen resolutions etc, I have never used the "application", "system" and "dialog" font options in LabVIEW but have fixed all fonts to Arial 14 pt. This worked wonderful on all Windows systems - without that unnerving problem that control lables overwrite each other and things like that (what always happened when using LabVIEWs "application" font option).
Now, when running the same VIs under LabVIEW for Linux, the font looks terrible, as there is no Arial font in Linux. Does somebody know an easy way to solve this problem without setting all fonts to "application font" in LabVIEW? For instance, any "ini file type" setting in Linux telling the operating system which font to use when Arial is not present, or any free font substitution that we could add to our installer routine that the operating system would use automatically instead of Arial?
Best regards,
Gabs

Unfortunately, your problem is a version of a generic problem faced by GUI programmers of all types - how do you handle varying system fonts? There are various solutions, based on who your customers are. You are using one of the easy ones that works well until you start doing cross-platform development. The main options are, in order or increasing complexity:
Lock the font to a specific font and size. This works well if your customers are limited to a single platform and are not visually impaired (do not want to use large fonts).
Use system fonts and allow extra space. This is a compromise that only works in most cases. Use about 50% extra for small strings and 10% - 20% for larger strings. This also gives you extra space for localization, should you need it. Visually impaired customers will run into space issues, because large fonts can be 2X or more larger than the default, system fonts. Note that the different Windows variants have different font sizes as well. Windows Vista increased default font sizes, especially for some Asian languages, such as Japanese.
Query the font size on entry into a GUI VI and rescale everything appropriately. This is hard, since it must be done for every VI with a GUI. Some system dialogs do not handle large fonts well, so you will probably end up replacing them with your own versions to get good appearance. You could probably write a system to handle this sort of scaling, but to my knowledge, no one has (please prove me wrong ). I have always used custom code when needed.
No one really does this well. Change your system font on a Windows OS to large fonts and note all the problems you run into. I would recommend option 2, unless you have a lot of extra time. Your customers will love you if you pull off option 3.
More tips to help.
Do your development on the platform with the largest system fonts. If this is not possible, change the LabVIEW system fonts of your development system to match the largest size you support. I usually develop using 13pt Verdana, since it is one of the largest of the variable spaced fonts.
Check your work by using large fonts in Windows. If it looks good there, it will probably be OK for most uses.
Good luck!

VXI support under LabVIEW for Linux

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?
-kevin

Kevin,
National Instruments has NI-VXI for Linux. The driver provides support for the PCI/VXI-MXI-2(8026), and VXI embedded Controllers. The NI-VXI driver also provides the programming API that will allow you to communicate with the VXI boards in your system.
You can find a KnowledgeBase that shows what versions of Linux are currently supported by NI-VXI here.
If you have never used VXI before I should note that it is different from using a PCI DAQ card. You might want to read this here which will explain a little about VXI.
The LabVIEW for Linux system requirements can be found here. I should note that LabVIEW will work on the 2.6 kernel, however since you are looking at NI-VXI you will need to use the 2.4 kernel anyway.
Hopefully this answers your question, but if you have any further questions feel free to ask!

Help with Labview for Linux application - datalog to XML format

Hi,
I am working on an application that makes use of a PDA for instrument control and data acquisition, and all our code has been written with the use Labview PDA 8.2. The instrument data is returned wirelessly to a remote server, and one of the specifications we set early in the project was the data would be returned in XML format in line with Labview's inbuilt XML schema.
Unfortunately, this XML funtion is not available on Labview PDA! We have made a change to return the data in Labview's 'Datalog' format, and then we now intend to run an additional application on the server to convert this information to XML before passing the data to our customer's software.
We have successfully done this with Labview for windows, but our customer's server is Linux based.
Is anyone aware of someone (or a company) who would be able to take our existing 'datalog-to-XML' vi and compile it for Linux? The program is really simple, and I would hope that all the functionality we use is supported in Labview for Linux.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
LabVIEW VIs that are developed in a Windows environment can be used in a Linux version of LabVIEW. As long as the VIs have not got Windows specific features such as ActiveX or Windows dll call you can run the VI in Linux. Also there maybe some specific drivers that are not supported under the Linux environment (see link). The VI will simply be recompiled in Linux. The Linux user must have a copy of the Linux LabVIEW Development System installed though.
