Need end user application system requirements

[BugBuster]

I am writing a proposal for developing an end user DLL or standalone application, using LabVIEW 7 and IMAQ vision. I need to paste in an electronic copy of a description, preferably from NI itself, of what system the user will need, including RAM and disk space requirements, operating system, etc. The software would be developed and tested only on a Windows 2000 machine. This electronic document would be something like the release notes from the LabVIEW Application Builder. Got a URL or something to send by email?

The product data sheets have a listing of such requirements. There are usually links to these on the product page of NI's Products & Services storefront.

In LabView 7, goto Help >> Search the LabView Bookshelf, then press PageDown, then goto LabView 7.0 Release Notes >> Required System Configuration >> Table 1 System Requirements for LabView 7.0

Thank you both for this information. The document says that at least 65MB of disk space is required. Is this much disk space really needed for a smallish runtime application or DLL, even including the LabVIEW RunTime system?

I'll bet the 65 MBytes is for the dev. system to BUILD the DLL.

There's no way NI is going to specify how much RAM, disk, or anything it's going to take to run YOUR program.

The Release Notes say:

"When you deploy an application you build, the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine requires a minimum of 64 MB of RAM and a screen resolution of 800 × 600 pixels for applications that require a screen, but National Instruments recommends 256 MB of RAM and a screen resolution of 1,024 × 768 pixels."

And on Windows, "The LabVIEW Run-Time Engine requires at least 25 MB of disk space, but National Instruments recommends 155 MB of disk space if you install the default drivers from the National Instruments Device Drivers CD."

If we need to add more details on this issue, can you please email your feedback to techpubs@ni.com so we can address it in a future version of LabVIEW?

Thanks!
