What is the difference between LabView Community and LabView Community NXG?

Which version should you use?

The "NXG" is the difference… 🙂

"NXG" stands for "next generation", but is now deprecated and not (really) supported anymore.

Use the "classic" LabVIEW (without NXG)…

Ahhh, NXG... I wanted to love it, but in the end, it was just too incomplete and there were conscious design choices that I didn't agree with.  I actually wish they could've continued with it, but I think they bit off way more than they could chew.  😞

To be more precise, LabVIEW NXG is deprecated.

The NXG technology is continued for products like G Web Module and SystemLink.

And there is a G Web Development Software Community Edition!

Works great with LabVIEW Community Edition to web-enable your applications. 😀

LabVIEW Community Edition is 32-bit.

G Web Development Software Community Edition is 64-bit.

Will they work together?

Also, what is a good beginning tutorial for learning G Web?

Yep! When you build an application in GWeb the output is a web application made of HTML, JS, and CSS. Web applications are not platform-specific. When using LabVIEW Community edition it is common to create a LabVIEW Web Service in your project and add the build web application to the web service to be the Web UI.

Particularly if working with LabVIEW Community Edition and G Web Development Software Community Edition I like the MAKE-ing with LabVIEW and Raspberry PI series. It's using LabVIEW NXG Web Module but the experience with G Web is pretty much identical.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3B somewhere.

Is all LabVIEW development done on a Windows PC and deployed to the Raspberry Pi?

Or does LabVIEW need to be installed on the Raspberry Pi.

That tutorial expects a lot more experience with the Pi than I have.

Development is done on a PC and deployed to Raspberry PI. It's also not required to use a Raspberry PI, you can both develop and run on your PC. I was just guessing at your use-case for community edition. For more general resources on G Web Development Software you can check out the Awesome WebVIs list.

When the LabVIEW VI in that tutorial is deployed to the Raspberry Pi, does LabVIEW RunTime Engine need to be installed on the Pi?
