XP/LabVIEW 4.0.1 Compatibility

[rtsen]

Hi, I am currently doing research at the local University using LabVIEW 4.0.1, PC 1200 DAQ board, and a Pentium 2 computer running WinNT. I am thinking about upgrading my computer in order to handle greater DAQ speeds. My question is concerning the compatibility issue between Windows Xp and LabVIEW 4.0.1. Has anyone tried LabVIEW 4.0.1 with XP; any success? or do I have to upgrade to a newer version of LabVIEW.

Thank you for your help,

Regards,
RTsen

Windows XP was first supported with LabVIEW 6.1. Now, it's always possible that it could work with 4.0.1, but it's very likely that you'll run into some problems. I would suggest upgrading to LabVIEW 6.1. Not only are you likely to experience less problems with the new OS, but you will always gain a lot of new tools in the upgrade from 4.0.1 to 6.1.

Thanks for the reply. I installed LabVIEW 4.0.1 NT version on my home computer running Windows XP Pro and the program/functions seems to work. If the DAQ functions will work with a data acquisition board is a different story; I have not tried this. If anyone has gotten this configuration to work, please let me know: WinXP, LabVIEW 4.0.1, PC 1200 DAQ board.
