Determine which LavbVIEW Version a function needs

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello there,

right now I am using the Evaluation Version of LabVIEW 2024 Q3 and i would like to determine, which Version (Base, Full, Professional) i will need.

I'd like to determine which LavbVIEW Version a function needs.

There is a page in the support section, which states that you can get to know the required version, if you click on "help" on the program: https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000015A76SAE&l=de-DE

However this opens the Help webpage, which does not state the required version. How do I determine a function's required Version now?

Greetings
Theo

Great - one more thing to hate about the online help.  It used to be that the help for each function had this info.

I guess the purchasing decision should not be based on a single function, but on what you actually intend to do. Also many simple "pro" or "full" functions could easily be implemented from scratch is "base" from a few primitives.

 

Are you planning to build standalone executables?

 

I thought there was a configuration to use the local help instead. I'll try to find it.

I thought the local help was just the remote help in a pdf?

It looks like NI missed this when they moved to the new help format.  I'm not seeing it in the offline help either.

 

Is there a specific function you are curious about?  I can check to see the required edition using an older version (2019).

Nope. Take the web help experience and move it into its own application.

First of all - thank you all for the quick answers.

I'm not planning on building any standalone executables (i think i'd need the application builder for this?)

I have an I/O Box from NI (USB-6002) and i want to read the analog input and generate an analog output signal. Since on the edition selection page no boxes ticked for signal processing and control i am not sure whether this is possible with the Base Edition or if i need the Full Edition for this.

That would be very nice of you.

One function i am curious about is the "generate signal" function under signal processing/wfm generation.

For 'Signal Processing VIs' -> 'Signal Generation VIs' -> 'Sine Wave VI' the offline help in LV2022Q3 states: 'Requires: Full Development System'
