can i run labview on Windows CE or embedded XP?

[stew j]

If it is possible, what are the minimum specifications for the PC? And can anyone recommend a manufacturer?

Basically, anything that will run on XP should run on XP Embedded. I am
presently running LabVIEW applications on XP Embedded. Windows CE is a
totally different operating system and will not presently run LabVIEW (NI
should verify this but I'm fairly sure this is true). You'll have to ask NI
when this will change but I think there will be CE support in the future.

XP Embedded should run on any PC that XP will run on but if you stick with
better known brands and components you'll have an easier time building your
XP application. Your speed should be similar to regular XP but your hard
drive space is usually a lot less because you strip out as much of the
operating system as you want. I am running on bootable CDs without any hard
drive.

There are quite a few users that have succesfully run LabVIEW on XP embedded, however NI does not officially support such operating systems. Some components / toolkits may not function correctly if LabVIEW does indeed run on embedded systems.

Real Time targets are the prefered route, such as RT PXI controllers. Perhaps give your local field engineer a call.

As far as Windows CE is concerned, we have the LV PDA toolkit available that will run on pocketPC (aka windows CE). There is also support for PalmOS.
There are special considerations for PocketPC LV applications, as the engine on the PocketPC is a reduced set of that seen on a normal PC.
Have a look here for a little more info. (Either that or give NIUK a call)
