Hardware requirements for LabView 8.0 runtime

[fpoeck]

Hello,

actually i am building a Labview based application.

I have included the Runtime into the installer created using the application Builder.

Now towards the question:
--
As i want to include some reuqirements informations into the readme i need to know the requirements of the LabView Runtime (Version 8.0)

I know i can include some kind of OS Version check into the Installer but baisicly i just want to know the lowest req. for the runtime.


any ideas where to get this informations ?

Best regards

There is no real requirement on the OS, because "the runtime engine" has several versions for different OS's. For windows, I think XP is officially the lowest requirement, but the development works fine under W2K, so the rte should work just fine.


You'll need some harddisk space, how much depends on what you support in the rte (VISA, etc.). About 30 MB seems like a good guess for a minimum install. Perhaps even 20 MB.


For ram, who knows. Windows should handle swapping if there is not enough. I've run it on 256MB without problems. 128 or 64 MB would probably be fine with the rte, if you can get windows to run.


You'll need a I386 compatible processor. So it has to be Intel compatible and at least a 386 or better. windows XP (or XPEmbedded) has the same requirement, so if it's installed, LabVIEW rte should work.


Hope it helps,


Wiebe.

Hi,

well it was not really that kind of answer i expected 😄

I would really wonder if there is no detailed description about hardware Req.'s of the LV 8.0 Runtime
This counts for OS-Versions too.

Regarding  RAM & HDD-Space, well i can test that on my test-equipment..... thats ok.
But shouldnt NI document at least the HArdware REquirements themselfs ?


Best regards & Thank you for your answer

But what other hardware requirements are there?

The run time engine will run on any system that the development system will run on, and visa versa. Provided the RAM and HD sizes are big enough.
