Need to run Labview with very low power

[PGH]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to run Labview with only a few watts.  Hopefully only two watts.  The setup will be powered by solar cells and would run continuously.  (Storage batteries would run it at night.)  The problem is that the system requirments say "G3 or better" for Mac, or "Pentium III/Celeron 866" for Windows or Linux, and as far as I can tell, these use up a lot more than 2 watts.

Is there some way to run Labview with this restricted power supply?

Thanks,

Peter H.

Peter,

Look at the PDA option. I have not used it, but that should be a low power platform. It has some limitations compared to the full blown LV systems.

Another possibility would be an embedded platform:
