does anyone have experience of running labview application on windowsCE or windows xp embedded system? I would like to build an lv application which plays videos on a CE or XPe system. Any comments are welcome.

thanks,

Joe,

Currently there is not a version of LabVIEW that runs on Windows CE. We do have several pages of information on running LabVIEW on Windows NT embedded that you can find by searching zone.ni.com for +NT +embedded. I'm not sure how applicable this is for XPembedded, but I imagine most of it should carry over to the new OS. You might want to check Microsofts site to see how easily NTemb apps flow to XPemb.

For Windows CE this is currently supported by the LabVIEW PDA or Touch Panel modules.

I use the PDA Module for LabVIEW to run programs on Windows CE and Windows Mobile. You have to use a PC for the development and building of the application, then either use ActiveSync or copy the .exe over to the CE device. There are some limitations in the code and the user interface, but most things work fine.

I haven't actually tried video yet on CE, perhaps that is something I can play with soon.

Good luck!
