Can use The LabVIEW to write operating system?

Why?

I think not！Because it is based on visual operating system.

My English is not good, forgive me!

[Norbert_B]

No, you cannot use LabVIEW to write your own operating system. It has nothing to do with using visual programming.

The reason is that the code which is compiled by your code (the language name is "G") is not a machine code directly executable by a PC. You will need an appropriate Run Time Engine (RTE) for LV code to execute and this RTE needs existing OS's like Windows or certain Linux Distributions.

Thank you Norbert!

By The reason.....

LabVIEW is not a Generic programming languages, is not?

Why?

[Norbert_B]

LV is a generic programming language. It is best compared to C#: C# code needs a RTE as well. The RTE for C# is called ".Net Framework" and has to be installed on the system in order to run C# applications.

I do not know if there are ways to implement OS's in C#, but there is some possible way in LV as well:

If the target you have is a uProcessor, you can use LV Embedded in order to work with this.

hope this helps,

Is there a ".Net Framework" in LV RTM for Windows?

[Norbert_B · Accepted solution]

Well, my comparison between LV and .NET was simply....a comparison. So the LV Run Time Engine has nothing to do with the .NET Framework.....

The LV RTE has to be installed seperatly. It is available for free for download at ni.com, but it is also installed with the LV development environment.

Please note that RTM is often the abbreviation for Run Time Menu.....
