LabVIEW 2023 Q3 for macOS runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1/M2) processors instead of relying on Rosetta 2.
LabVIEW for macOS continues to support Intel-based Macs as well.
Please test the LabVIEW editor as well as built applications.

Why is there not a check box to build a universal fat executable? Because that would mean different code for window vs. Mac?
Has no one written a Post Processing VI that will optionally make a fat binary and create a signature file? Should be a fairly simple call to the OS?
However, the native app runs VERY quickly and smoothly on my laptop! Kudos to the development team!

When is labview2023 q3 expected to be available for download and I need to test the software on my M1 system。
Thank you for your answer

It will be available in the 3rd quarter of 2023. That will be sometime between 7/1/2023 and 9/30/2023. This forum is the open beta so you can test it on your system right now by following the directions at the top.
NOTE: there are no drivers for Apple Silicon for DAQ cards, USB DAQ, or GPIB. AFAIK VISA on the Apple Silicon will only support LXI connections, Serial ports and raw tcp-socket and raw USB connections.

Thank you for your reply. I will conduct the test according to your method. Thank you very much

Hi,
Have you conducted any test run on LabVIEW for Apple Silicon? Is GPIB supported now?
Thanks,

Any test? Yes. I have been running LV on Apple Silicon on my laptop and my Mac Studio since the beta was released. It is VERY fast and works well.
GPIB is not supported and from what I have heard will never be supported on Apple Silicon. Porting any of the kexts for the devices is too much of an engineering demand. The best I have heard is for the community to port the USB portion of the open source linux device handlers that use the libusb and do not need a kext.

Thanks for kind replying.
So, how will GPIB only devices communicate with Apple Silicon? Is there any mitigation?
Best,
