LabVIEW for Linux

Does anyone know if LabVIEW 2009 for Linux, V9.0 32-bit supports real-time operations?

For real-time operations you need LabVIEW RealTime.

Since Linux is not a real-time OS, the answer is no. I believe that LabVIEW real-time runs under VxWorks.

Thanks for the information guys, I appreciate it. I assume that LabVIEW RealTime is not available for Linux (which is what I thought in the first place). Just doing an investigation.

Folks; got clarification about my investigation: We will be using RedHawk Linux V5 (64-bit). RedHawk is a real-time derivative of Linux. Is there a version of LabVIEW available for real-time development/deployment that runs under RedHawk Linux V5 (64-bit)??

No. As I said, I believe the rtos is VxWorks. There is no LabVIEW support for your Linux version. The only 64 bit support is for Vista-64 and Windows 7-64.

Hi Everyone,

Your answers are essentially correct, but let me clarify.

LabVIEW Real-Time Module gives you the ability to work with LabVIEW Real-Time targets such as FieldPoint, PXI, cRIO, and certain desktop computers once formatted properly. Those targets can run either the Phar Lap ETS or VxWorks real time operating systems as stated in KnowledgeBase 4LRA4IQ0: What Operating System is my Real-Time Controller Running and Why?

LabVIEW Real-Time Module is for development of LabVIEW VIs to run on those NI Real-Time targets is only supported in the operating systems as listed in the LabVIEW Module and Toolkit Compatibility Information. Also see the LabVIEW and LabVIEW Real-Time Module release notes and readmes.

National Instruments software does not officially support RedHawk Linux, but you might be able to get LabVIEW (not the LabVIEW Real-Time Module (which you don’t need since you do not want to work with NI Real-Time targets)) to work, but we don’t guarantee any results or support it. However, if you feel this would be a useful feature I ask that you create a product suggestion at the NI Product Suggestion Center.

I hoped that clarified it….

Also, you may want to contact Concurrent Support to see if they have some developers that have worked with LabVIEW on their systems....
