Which version of labview 2009 I need ?

[AD_7777]

Recently of downloaded the evaluation version of LabVIEW 2009, and foud it most interesting for intrument control. I've created some VI with some drivers and time loops and case structures, everything seems to be working fine. Now the question is do I need Base Labview or Full Labivew?

I would like to recommend Professional version (must have if you would like to build applications)

As you can see from the Table which Andrey posted, the Base version does not include the event structure.  Any serious program involving user interaction with instruments will be much easier to implement and much more versatile with the event structure.  Do not cripple yourself by buying less than the Full version unless you are quire sure you do not need some of those features.

If you are a casual programmer, the full should be sufficient.  The pro version includes some software engineering tools (such as merge VI and source code control integration) that I find very useful.  Full disclosure - I am a National Instruments employee.

If you don't buy pro, you should still use source code control.  There are a number of good, free packages available.
