TCP/IP communication with LabVIEW Full?

[velocity160]

Hi,

I would like to know if the TCP/IP VIs are included with the Base or Full version of LabVIEW?

I was looking at the different versions of LV and one of the features of the Pro version is 'Network Communication'.

I have done TCP/IP communication a while ago and I am quite sure it was with the Full version. I have the Pro version now but this is for a customer.

This brings another question: Is there a trick to be sure your code is going to work on a system with LV Base if you develop on a system with LV Pro?

Thanks!

Hi Velocity1...,

Refer to https://www.ni.com/en/shop/labview/select-edition.html, TCP/IP function is also available for base and full version.

In order to know whether your VI works with base version, I think you need another license for base version PC to try it, but it may not a good idea to spend money for this.

Therefore, comparing a list of available features still the best shot so far.

Regards, Kate

I think that was a good answer to your first question. To answer your second question, if you are creating executables to be run on a computer with LabVIEW Base there will be no problem running the executable because LabVIEW Base has the run time engine. If you are sending VIs to another computer with LabVIEW Base they will not be able to access any VIs that are not included in there package. There is no simple way to tell that these VIs are not included except through the link in the previous post. In LabVIEW 8.6 many of the help documents state what LabVIEW package installs the VI. If all of the VIs state that they are installed with LabVIEW Base you will have no problems.
